It really depends on what you are wanting to do. If you want to make actual figures, you still need a high-resolution resin printer, which will cost you way more than $400 and has a steep learning curve. For more basic items like terrain, or even vehicles and mechs, you can get very good results from higher-end filament printers, like an Afinia or an Ultimaker. As I said in that other thread, if you have never used a 3D printer and are new to 3D printing and design, you should absolutely not buy a printer. It's going to be a fickle, frustrating experience. If you are looking to design your own figures, spend some time learning the design and modeling side, and get your models printed through a service like Shapeways. It's more costly per item, but you can get a lot of experience under your belt with design and how that translates to physical objects for a heck of a lot less than what you'll fork over for a printer that is just going to make you mad if you've never used one before. Once you're comfortable with design (if that's what you want to do), try to find a local makerspace or something similar where you can get hands-on experience operating a printer and all that entails. Then you can make a much more informed decision and know if you will want to shell out some real cash for a higher-end model, which will give you much better results in the long run.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/723571/9309071.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/723571/9309071.page GMT
