Thanks Airscapes,

The biggest problem I have found is that there are good and bad reviews for every 3D printer I look at for example:-
Ender3 v2 - Reviews good and then I searched on this forum and found bad ones
AnyCubic Vyper - Hyped to be Ender3 ++ (auto bed levelling, touchscreen) and then I read up on reliability problems
Geeeeeeeeeeeeetech M20 (promising specs but again mixed reviews)

£700 for a 3D printer is fine if I get into the hobby but at the moment, I just need to print 1.5kg to 2kg of print for a project, hence the reason to spend low and then invest if I find I am using it more and more. Otherwise, it's a load of money for a door stop ;-)

Then there a laser cutter, which I know there are add ons that can attach to a 3D printer but they are really not that powerful, so it's another bulky device in the house. I think what I need is to get some inspiration first, that may help me to decide how far I want to take the plunge. Other than ThingyVerse, are there any good sites to browse STL files?

Thanks for your help, I appreciate your advice.

:-)
