3D PRINTER PURCHASED

Finally pulled the trigger on a 3D printer!

Been doing a ton of research over the last few years into SLA 3D printers. Several friends have purchased Titan, UniZ and Formlab SLA printers with generally negative experiences. The price point has been the stickler for me -- 2 to 4 k is generally the range for these, and at 50% or greater fail rate, forget it! Plus, I have zero interest in a new hobby; I want a tool that will just work. Time spent tinkering with a tool is time not spent creating.

My friend Kenzie pinged me to recommend the Anycubic Photon 3D printer. The reviews on Amazon are largely very positive, and he's got several friends in NY that have also had great experiences with it. The only drawback is the small build volume:

But for a first real foray into this realm, 500 bucks is low risk!
