Hi all, I want to buy my son a 3D printer for his 20th birthday. He is a third year computer science major, so has no issues with the software side. I have no idea where to start, or even what questions to ask. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi all, Thanks for the replies thus far. Budget is about AUD$1,000

    Not sure about printing materials, I need help there. Plenty of space for the printer and any peripherals needed.

        Thank you. My list keeps growing….
        Happy to spend the money on the right printer, as long as it doesn’t become an expensive dust collector.

        $1k is ok, as long as it’s used, but I gotta say, the current special of $369 for the Kobra 3 v2 is pretty enticing!
