Are you in the market for a budget-friendly 3D printer? Look no further! CNET has put together a list of top picks that offer sharp details and ease of use. As a beginner, it's recommended to start with PLA filament, which is nontoxic and inexpensive. For optimal results, stick with suggested software presets and consider adding a raft layer for improved adhesion.
For testing purposes, CNET uses a standard key print featuring the old CNET logo, which assesses the printer's ability to bridge gaps and handle overhangs. Print speed is measured using PrusaSlicer, while temperature accuracy is checked using an InfiRay thermal imaging camera.
Resin printers require different criteria, including printing small models with intricate details. Anecdotal test prints are also run to evaluate the longevity of parts and handling of various shapes.
