Accurate 3D printer without support material - Any for home use?

[curious aardvark]

the best cheap minimum-support option is a right side up sla printer.

Most sla printers pull the model from the vat of resin, and need supports.
But a few build the model from the bottom up like a fdm machine and they can print complex shapes without supports.
The peachy is the only one that srpings to mind at the moment.
Because the resin is less dense than the saline solutiuon, you can print some unsupported structures.

The cheapest powder based machine I know of is around the £10,000 mark.

You can always get your models printed via shapeways. Expensive - but a lot cheaper than buying your own powder machine :-)

Another option is the mcor paper based system. full colour, no supports needed. And half the price of a powder machine. http://mcortechnologies.com/3d-print...olour-printer/

Still not cheap, but the models are surprisingly robust considering they're essentially paper mache.
Okay just looked at the mcor consumables - a 4 pack of ink is £480 ! Over $1000.
So, um not exactly cheap things to run.
But hey, full colour, no support machines aren't going to be cheap for a few years yet.

You're best bet is buy a flashforge creator pro - or equivalent. And prit with pla and pva support.
that way you just throw it in a sink of warm water to dissolve the supports :-)
And then paint it afterward.
