Looking for a new 3d printer

Also add the ability to print in multi-color.Have useful items to print, the ability to scan in a SKU code, and it shows all the parts it can print for replacement. Also have the ability to print things you can use around the house.It should be able to print metal and plastic.Let's say you want to print a roomba, it should print all the parts, and then it automatically orders things that cant be printed and then it prints out directions of how to put all the pieces together.

Spoken like a true enthusiast. On your way into this hobby you should spend some time considering and then understanding why all of these printers come unassembled. If the printer came ready to print and you just opened the box and started printing the expectations of quality would be as such that there would be an absolutely huge return/warranty rate. But to sell and ship them completely unassembled creates a plausible deniability where the manufacturer can first argue that you put it together wrong but then can argue that you opened everything and manipulated all the pieces and parts helping greatly with denying a return. So many people in this world just don't get this simple truth. But it is most certainly the truth. The printers that come ready to run and require little or no setup are generally expensive because they know their stuff has to work. So like the Prusa Mini that is just 3 pieces to assemble will be a good machine. But it is expensive for it's build envelope. And you might be on a waiting list to get it as that printer seems to be a favorite of the printer farms.

LOL, I was just responding to your microwave question... this is what it would take for mainstream adoption.

It is important for us to put our thoughts and ideas into this hobby. It is the only way it will grow into what you have envisioned. Because Lord knows as it stands you really gotta look in any town for the home(s) with a 3d printer in them.
