Help buying first 3D Printer

[curious aardvark]

you could do worse than looking at qidi tech https://www.amazon.com/TECHNOLOGY-3D...rds=3d+printer

Fully enclosed which lets you use abs easily and makes printing with nylon easier (just easier, don't get too excited, it's still a pita :-)

Plus, you could also afford to buy a monoprice maker v2 (rebadged wanhao duplicator i3) https://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-138...ice+3d+printer
For large prints.

And just about break the $1000 mark.
