Hi everyone,I'm interested in starting to 3D print my own items. I'm coming at this as a totally unexerienced person. This would be for a hobby, and possibly as an educational tool for my kids as they get into STEM. I'm looking at being able to print things like small mini figures, interesting art and science projects, and creating storage solutions for the board games I own. I have zero idea where to start, but I have a few things I'd like in the machine.

- relatively affordable. $600-800 is my sweet spot. I don't think I can go much above that. If I can get a good printer for less, I'm also interested.
- simple to use. I'd like to make it where either myself or my kids could easily start a print and get good results.
- size. This is where I'd be polling the group. I'm looking at building game storage that could be 8 inches in length. What options would work well for me? For example: this is the type of organization I want to print. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3139442/files

What size of print area would handle something like these?
