Hey there, I'm looking to buy my first 3D printer but I'm not sure what features to focus on. Besides print quality, are there other things I should consider? Like software, ease of part replacement, maintenance process, etc. Should I go for FDM or resin? Based on your experiences, what do you usually look out for?
What should I consider when buying a 3D printer?

“Oh man, look at all you noobs wasting money on 3D printing, just like me, asking ‘how do I even get my first print?’ 😂. I only bought the ones labeled ‘easy to assemble,’ and in the end, I couldn’t even get past three different variables without snapping my plastic heels like some kind of tragic fashion disaster 👢💔. Start with FDM—you’re not ready for resin’s chemical stench waking you up, even I wasn’t ready 😅. You buy a part thinking ‘oh, how simple,’ then suddenly you’re holding a $20 screw that won’t even fit in your shirt pocket. What’s your move then?”
