Most people start out 3D printing with a filament printer (although I started with resin just to be opposite!) and in this video I talk about the basics and what you might use your printer for in modelling.
I bought a very cheap Chinese printer β an Anycubic i3 Mega β and have used it loads for a variety of items. Itβs a filament or FDM printer. Next week weβll be looking at resin printers.
