choices choices (newb questions)

[Fear no beer]

Welcome Fear.

Price is just one component. You have to decide:
- Whether to build a kit or buy finished (kit is obviously cheaper)
- What size print envelope you need for your intended projects
- What materials (filaments) you want to print with
- Type of extruder (depends in part on materials)
- What options you need (heated bed for example)
- Is your intended (love) supported by an active community? (a good idea)

You'll get more help if you can answer some of these.

thx for the reply :

Im not afraid of building one myself seems there is a few on the market , I just thought a plug and play option might be better first up , but I will consider a build now you've mentioned it, il look into them . maybe something like one of these would be a better option?

id be happy with 200 x 200 (most seem smaller) for a bed but for a better printer id cut size , after all this will be my first so I can always update, PLA material would be used.

I don't need a heated bed, and im hoping this is my goto forum for any questions I have to ask .
