Hi guys.

Im new too 3D printing and I want to start experimenting with it.
I would like to start by printng objects that I would like to try to sell. Then eventually try to think of more creative opportunities.

say for starters I want to print objects/products such as iPhone cases, key chains, figurines from plastic. What printer should I buy and how much would that sort cost?
is a plastic printer much less expensive than a metal material printing one? (for jewlery)


I would like to be able to print good looking prints, and not simply basic cheapy-looking products.

For example if you search "3D printed iPhone cases" on Google images there are some pretty neat designs. What kind of printer is needed for such prints and how much can I get one for?

How much do the materials cost? for the sake of the same example: What would be the cost of plastic material for 1 iPhone case?
How long would it take to print that iPhone case?

Any advice and replies are much appreciated!
Thanks!
