Hey everyone! I'm the lead organizer for the Portland Indie Game Squad. Our funding project recently surpassed most of its goals – which are all resources being made available to the community – and I'm coming up with some higher-tier options. A 3d printer is definitely on my list for the board game/miniature game developers in the group, and I've been asking around for what people might recommend as a "beginner" setup, somewhere between $400 and $600.
Multiple people have been saying the $500 Solidoodle is the way to go, but any other opinions are appreciated.
Thanks!
