Best 3D Printers
3D printing is the rage nowadays. Even though it has been around for almost 20 years, the technology has developed and the prices have come down to a level that the barrier to entry is much lower. Here are some 3d printers that have the best value and recommendations based on user experience. (Click on links to read the reviews.) The UP! Mini 3D desktop printer has an all-metal enclosure and fabricates objects using 1.75 mm ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) or PLA (polylactic acid) thermoplastic filament (sold separately), with a vertical resolution from 200 to 400 microns (0.20 to 0.40 mm). The printer can build objects to maximum dimensions of 4.75 x 4.75 x 4.75 inches/120 x 120 x 120 mm (H x W x D).
