your ability to maintain them – some are a pig to replace things in the hot end, others are a doddle – then bed size, software, price and so on

First big decision is filament or resin. That depends on what you want to make,

I would suggest a basic filament printer that is affordable so you can get to grips with originating designs for 3D printing.

You may then decide or not to upgrade to another filament printer or then choose to switch to resin should you, on the basis of hard experience, to changeover (but you may well decide to keep the filament printer anyway).

Many people – myself included – find the learning curve into 3D CAD best approached with crampons and an ice axe, so don't invest a fortune until you have mastered the basics.

If it is not working for you there are many designs available online you can use or adapt.

Can it print spam or not.

One that slipped through the net hence no post and just the title.
