How To Choose A 3D Printer?

Whether a 3D printer is good or not mainly depends on whether you are a beginner or have 3D printing experience. The requirements for experience are generally higher. If it is higher, you can choose a more expensive machine. The performance will definitely be better. If a beginner plays it casually, It is enough to choose some machines ranging from 1000 to 3000.

If you have never been exposed to 3D printing, you must first understand the basic principles of machine classification, mainly FDM and LCD. Relatively speaking, FDM has a low entry difficulty factor, but LCD (a type of light-curing) is now The degree of difficulty of the FDM machine is not high. The price of the FDM machine can be regarded as a very professional machine. If you are a newcomer, I don’t think it is necessary. Around 2000 is enough to buy a particularly suitable machine for novices, such as Anycubic Vyper. Very good, I personally suggest that the LCD machine is not suitable for pure novices.

If you have 3D printing experience, I suggest you buy some light curing machines, because after you have some FDM machine foundation, you will find that the FDM machine model will have some layer pattern problems more or less, and the light The curing machine can solve these problems and make your model look very delicate.

I would like to add that if you like to use FDM or light-curing machines, FDM machines like Anycubic Vyper mainly use wires. LCD is resin. Simply put, one is solid and the other is liquid. The price of resin is higher, except for wires. In addition to ABS, other products such as PLA and TPU have a good taste, and the resin has a relatively strong taste, except for the bio-based resin, which may be good.

No matter what kind of machine, the printing area is the most direct factor affecting the price. For example, the printing area of Anycubic Vyper is 245×245×260 (mm3). Generally, the larger the printing area, the higher the price. For FDM machines, this is even worse. But some will develop dual nozzles, print multi-color, and print up and down. These will affect the machine. Not much to talk about FDM machines here. For light-curing machines, the printing area is only a small factor. Light curing machines are more like the technical confrontation of each manufacturer. The light source, motherboard, connection method, hardware facilities, light source, printing platform, guide rail, and software will all be affected. The key factor of price.
