3D printer
Research for 3D printers
Key points:
- enclosed for printing in colder environments
- coreXY for faster stable printing
- Resin or FDM? Higher quality smaller print size, costlier prints vs larger cheaper prints
- customer support
- price (FDM bedslinger is cheaper)

FILIMENTS
PLA
PETG: more elastic, lower impact resistance, no UV resistance
Waterproof
Low print temp (260C, warm chamber)
ABS: toxic fumes, more prone to cracking in large prints
Needs heated chamber (90-100C)
Not waterproof
ASA:
Higher heat res & UV res than ABS
Smooths better with acetone
Better than ABS
Needs heated chamber (90-100C)
Waterproof
Costs more
Prone to warping, cracking, shrinking
Toxic fume
