FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) is great for larger parts requiring lower fidelity and cost, and this is what most home-use 3d printers are. I have one, and have had good success while it was still working. Some people call it the "toothpaste print...
Jim, I will echo what Eric and Joe said about Prusa 3D printers. I have the Prusa MK2.5S and love it. I’ve had it for about 3 years and have had no issues. I bought the kit and built the printer myself and it was quite easy to put together. As Joe m... moreJim, I will echo what Eric and Joe said about Prusa 3D printers. I have the Prusa MK2.5S and love it. I’ve had it for about 3 years and have had no issues. I bought the kit and built the printer myself and it was quite easy to put together. As Joe mentioned, Prusa customer service is very good and there is a large support network available, i...

Just to continue the speculation . . This is made in the Netherlands for a European and US audience? My impression is that garden modellers on both continents who buy lo...
One of our esteemed members had an extra 3D printer lying around, and made me an offer I couldnt refuse, so I became the proud owner of a Qidi 3d printer. One of the smaller ones, but big enough for what I want to use it for, I think.

Anyway, after a couple test prints of small bits for gaming, I dove into a bigger project, a flatcar...

You could also have it printed by someone who owns a 3D printer. It's almost become a cottage industry, printing things for other people. Or try Hacker Labs -- many cities have them....
