Which 3D Printer Should You Get? A COMPLETE Beginner's Guide

[@dexstclaire5442]

No one ever talks about getting the files. I started 3D printing with an old mac. It just didn't have enough grunt to render some models at all and if I had too much on the virtual print bed, it really struggled. I just happened to upgrade to a new PC and it made a world of difference.

[@frognutz0o]

how do you get files?

[@ryw00d]

[@AceBoy2099]

3rd. Not only "get" files, but also make your own for things not "get-able".

[@DaDarkMagician]

@Phase10Minecraft as someone who’s looking to go into 3D printing myself. What printer would work with my MacBook best? And what software is compatible with most 3D printers? That’s the part I’m still confused on because I’m looking on Amazon for one around 200$

[@wookiee.gunner]

You mentioned that FDM typically takes longer because it tends to be larger prints, there is also a second reason. Since resin printers print the entire layer at once, the print time is based on the number of layers only. With FDM, it is based on the total volume of the print, so 3 identical soldiers printed all at once on a resin bed takes the same length of time as 1 of those soldiers, but takes (approximately) three times as long on an FDM printer as 1 does.

[@kairon156]

Fantastic point. I'm thinking with Resin it's best to have a dedicated room or space due to the chemicals and such, where FDM you can have it on a kitchen table when in use and not worry about cats and things as much.

[@wookiee.gunner]

@@kairon156 I would still be worried about cats and such. Some people believe that FDM will still release fumes but even if it doesn't the bed and hot end are burn concerns assuming the animals don't eat the filament first.

[@TMANM]

Okay nerd

[@ce.ad.domain7642]

@Alex Wolfiecat enclose the printer in plexi and filter the air with some kind of active charcoal filter. ideally then put it out the window if you can. i've been thinking about it and that's my best idea.

i feel like you should have talked about post print processes more also, FDM is print and done, but resin you have to clean and harden the print before its ready for paint , alot more work

[@ajdecaprio]

Totally agree with you, Danny and I will be making a Part II to this video, which includes assembly, slicing, printing problems, and definitely clean up!

@@ajdecaprio Is there only upgrades for FDM ? is wash & cure stations a must have or just fancy extra ?

[@PigsxArexAwesome]

@@matso3856 you have to wash and cure resin, it's a must. However you can wash them in a bucket with either water or alcohol depending on the resin, and can set then outside to cure. The stations just make it easier

Fdm Is a lot simpler in the post process. But FDM troubleshooting is a whole nother beast compared to resin. Also Resin has a lot less risk of burning your house down. Pros and Cons to both.

I don’t typically comment on videos, but I gotta say.. not only was your video informative, but I very much like how you went about it. I’m in the first stages of looking into 3d printing for miniatures and small terrain additions, and you confirmed what I’ve been leaning towards. Thank you for the information and keep up the great work!

[@BennyIncorporated]

I believe it's worth mentioning you CAN 3D print large figures in a resin printer because a lot of the models for the figures often come in pieces to be assembled. Because I didn't know that I went and bought a filament printer and partially been regreting it. In my honest opinion if really high quality prints is your absolute top priority and are willing to pay accordingly just get one of the larger 3d resin printers like the Saturn or Photon Mono X.

[@kiwiflowers9475]

Amazing point I was thinking that as I’ve been doing tons of research and want to print BJDs, ppl print the larger scale ones in parts since they come in parts anyway.

[@oldschoolfrp2326]

Really good reasonable introduction. I’d only add: •Miniature design can make the difference. Read the descriptions of some models you might like to print and they should say what are the largest model sizes in the collection, and whether they are optimized for FDM (which also should work in resin) or if they are intended for resin and not recommended for FDM. FDM is great but it just can’t handle really dynamic poses as well. •There are good honest KZbin reviewers, but another reason to be wary of KZbin reviews at first is the proliferation of channels simply gushing over whatever printer they just got sent for free, even if they haven’t actually used it very long, angling for their next free gift.

[@therealDonMac]

Awesome advice! There's something nostalgic about a new 3D Printed Tabletop video coming out.

[@eddy4ce]

Speaking as someone who started with FDM for terrain, I was surprised to learn how much nozzle size affects the print. I've gotten really good results with a 0.25mm nozzle and .07mm layer height. Wish you'd have touched on that. *Edit: What I mean is good results printing some minis using these settings. It still requires dialing in the filament, lots of patience with supports, and it doesn't do well with tiny details. You will, however, get a lot more details than with a .4mm nozzle!

Great video! I'm now curious to know about the "software" side of 3D printing now. For example, which software do you use (Solidworks, etc.)? Do certain 3D printer brands have their own proprietary software? Is software completely separate and I have to buy it myself? If so, which softwares are the best to use? Basically, could I get the rundown on how software is chosen (not necessarily how it's used) and how it is then processed to physical 3D printer?

So I like resin printers. I know a lot of people have safety concerns and talk about issues. But I haven't experienced them. For me, there are some upgrades that are essential and super cheap for resin printing and make a huge QOL difference.: 1) Flexplate. Way better than that metal spatula. and you won't have to risk scratch the build surface. Also if you get a pair of them you can start printing a second print almost as soon as the first print finishes. 2)Drip adaptor. Something so that after the print finishes allows you to hang the build plate so the excess resin can drip off. 3) Handles for the plastic lids/enclosure/whatever you call it. Honestly not sure why this doesn't come by default 4) Syphon Pump for transferring the IPA or cleaning solution with minimal spills and drippage. Mind you this is like maybe $40 of upgrades that just make printing so much easier

As someone that just did this like 4 months ago (and went with both an FDM and Resin printer). I would suggest picking one. 3d printing is an entire hobby in itself. Take it slow. Also, I highly suggest going for the upgraded version of FDM printers. I went with a CR-10 and exactly 1 print later absolutely realized I should have bought the v2. I ended up buying all the upgrades and I’m still waiting on some to arrive so I can install them. Should have bought the pre upgraded version. That said its not without its positives, I get to learn as I install these which I am looking forward to. Finally.... UPGRADE THE PTFE TUBE! Seriously, the stock one in most of these FDM printers suck. Its a super cheap upgrade and make sure you buy the one that comes with the proper clippers. Keep up the great work, love the channel! You are an inspiration.

The running cost is different between resin and FDM printing too. FDM you kind of just need a roll of filament and you're set. With resin you need IPA, gloves etc and you need to cure it in a UV "oven". Just something to keep in mind.

FDM is good for prototypes/practical bits too; made a replacement part for my mom's sewing machine, little legs for a coffee maker, painting pylons I found on thingiverse. If I could get/make a decent enclosure for my printer I might try ABS again, which is some pretty solid stuff like Lego plastic if I recall correctly.

Great use for FDM would also be dungeon wall sets, tiles, anything without high detail required. I disagree, that FDM are slow, depends on the printer. I feel some FDM printing can be MUCH faster than SLA, depending on the size of the print. Ive printed mini's in 15-20 minutes on an FDM, while a resin can take 2 hours for same print. You can also increase details of low quality fdm prints by hand. Although resin is getting faster, the newest ones are cutting that 2 hours into 30 minutes if you get one with a mono screen. Resin is also very dangerous, highly toxic. PLA is plant based. Eco Safe.

Hi Danny. Thanks for all the great videos and advice for those of us that are new to the hobby. I bought a CR10 mini as my first printer about a year and a half ago (to go with your Lost Adventures Kickstarter), and now the resin calls to me. The question I have is about using my printer and future resin printer in the garage. Indoor space is limited as is, and I’m not sure I want the resin fumes in the house with my family. I live in Southern California where temperatures in the garage can be regularly in the 90’s much of the year to well over 100 degrees in summer. The colder months of the year might drop overnight to the low 40’s, but usually in the 50’s and 60’s. Humidity isn’t usually a big concern. I can’t imagine these temperature ranges can be good for printing, but figured I would get your insight. What sort of impact would this have on the machines and the prints themselves? The uncertainty about this is really the main thing holding me back from that resin purchase at the moment.

Hey man this video really helped me understand the basics of the differences between printers and I really wanted to thank you. Even for someone like me, who is not going to use the 3d printer for tabletop gaming but wants to use it for other projects.

Thank you for this. Its exactly what I needed. I look to create costume pieces and props for performers (stilters, and general joy-bringers), and needed a place to jump from. This is great info, and you have a new subscriber! thanks!!!

I started with a flsun super racer and i really love it. It is a really good starter printer

I just got mines. About to use it today and print a toy or something useful. Wish me luck .

I traded my resin printer for fdm because I have kids and didn't like doing prints while they were in the house. Resin is also a lot of hassle when it comes to work flow. It's also more expensive when it comes to failed prints etc.

What would you recommend as a second printer? Backstory : I've had my Ender 3 Pro for roughly 2,5 yrs now and I have tinkered with it a lot, so I think I understand all the basics and some more advanced stuff also, but not an expert by any means. I mostly print stuff for Board games (inserts, upgraded components etc) and tabletop (terrain, miniatures etc) and the Ender has been a good/great machine. I have been eyeing a Prusa MK3/MK3S for quite a while now, since I don't think I'd want to go Resin. Any thoughts? I don't really NEED another printer, but I really do love working with these machines, but the leveling and upkeep on the Ender 3 sometimes does wear me a bit having 2 small children in the house also :D Anyway, love your videos!
