Hello everyone.
I'm new to 3D printing and curious how experienced users approach reliability and quality. What factors matter most when choosing a printer today: build volume, motion system, firmware, or community support?
How do you decide between FDM and resin for mixed projects like functional parts and detailed miniatures?
I’m also considering using a 3D Printing Service while learning, instead of buying a machine right away. Is that a smart approach?
I’d love real-world advice on materials, slicer settings, calibration routines, common beginner mistakes, and whether upgrades are worth it long term.
