Hey everyone My sister wants to get into 3D printing. She has her birthday soon and we are thinking of gifting here a printer. What models wold you recommend?

What do you think of Bambu Lab X2D. What would you get for a beginer?

Edit: thank you all for the responses. I certainly did not expect so much engagement and such high quality answers. Will have a look at all the options you recommended. Hopefully our budget has enough room for a comparable morally righ choice.

    OP:

    My sister wants to get into 3D printing.

    Your suggestion: Tell her to order prints from a print farm vendor or makerspace and buy her a nice purse instead.

    What?

      No.

      Your suggestion: discuss it, have a plan, make sure this is the right gift by talking to her, otherwise, the machine is fine.


      What?

      Male models?
