Veterans Reloading

Any recommendations for a first, but good/featured printer? I've been around them, just never used one. In the reloading press arena so many 3d print parts and I'm getting jealous.

Thanks, Jack

to be honest...Im not sure. HOWEVER...Would you like to be a recipient for a 3D printer should one come available, say for a 6 month loan? VRAP has a fleet of 3D printers that is currently at 6 machines. I get them cheap or donated, and verify operation. Then ship to recipients. Steve Martucio has one currently, and if a 72 year old guy can figure it out, I have confidence you can as well. You will need to supply a computer or laptop for the slicing programs though.
I am working on getting one going for Emily, but have a 3 other ones to get ready to loan out...

If your looking to buy, a budget window would help narrow down recommendations. top of the line would be Prusa XL, my opinion is its the best on the market. For a more budget friendly core xy printer I recommend the Flashforge 5M/ 5M pro. Bed slinger there are so many out there that can be had for around $200. If you want anything from the Ender 3 series I would look at a minimum any of the ones with auto level features such as the V3SE or KE. The newer V3 is also a good choice. I personally own the V3SE but have spent quite a bit modifying it to make it better. Best place to buy Ender is currently on Ebay, they have refurbished units straight from Creality for almost half the price of new. I also own then Ankermake M5C which has been nothing but great for me, and is a great buy at $200 now. Lots of people love the Bamboo's but I have yet to use one. Sovol makes great printers as well especially if you like an open platform where you can constantly upgrade/tinker. That's all I got for now, hope it helps.
