Hello,
Considering a 3d printer-
Use will be personal, making things to amuse a 5 year old and 8 year old, likely star wars stuff and toys...maybe a helmet is the largest size item I'd consider-
Budget is 300 or less
experience is none, I'm OK with computers, but this is definitely new to me-
Things that are important
1. don't want to set the house on fire, so something that can pause when I'm not around or is very safe
2. ease of use / low maintenance / doesn't require a lot of upgrading initially
3. large community for support as I'm learning what the heck I'm doing
4. Not super loud, woud be great if I could make calls/etc while in the same room, not sure if this is possible but vids of the newer kickstarter model looked like it was pretty quiet-
So in my research coming up with these options
Creality CR-6SE - 341 shipped/august - over budget slightly, is it worth it as a more polished product? August is a ways off too-
Ender 3x = 219 ships in 2 weeks
Ender 3 pro with glass and 5 nozzle upgrade = 258
Ender 3 with glass/5 nozzles - 219
Ender 3 V2 = 269, june? not available for pre-order right now-
any feedback or suggestions on other models would be greatly appreciated. I'm a bit nervous about even pursuing this hobby, but with being home more thought it might entertain me and the kids if I can figure this out-
Thanks!
