It all depends, as someone above has said by why you want to be involved in 3d printing? If it's for a hobby if you get pleasurer out of it it's worth whay your prepared to spend on it! If your interest is commercial that brings a different perspective. For example my interest was purely commercial. I am a director of a science and design consultancy and my interest all started when I took the drawings for a small part I needed to the machine shop we use and was told that the part we wanted machined out of Delrin was un economic to make because of the number of setups required. In desperation we got the part made by SLS at a print bureau. That event changed the way we designed many parts for our projects and we used that bureau almost weekly for the next 2 years. With the treat of lock down we bought the simplest cheapest 3d printer so that we could print our own. I wish we had got into 3d print earlier so the answer is YES
