What to buy? - eviltoast

<TLDR> • Experience: none • Size: > 20x20x20 cm • Price Range: 800-1500€ • Print Medium: PLA </TLRD>

Hi all! I would like to join the group of 3D printer owners but I don’t have any experience. I don’t want to buy a cheap printer just to find myself buying a better one in a few months so I set my price in the middle segment (I think).

I am going to set it up in my office which has AC but direct sun light for some hours a day. Is a full case recommended?

What printer can you recommend for me and what software (windows) can I use to design and print some parts?

If you need any more info please let me know.

Kind regards in anvance

    The X1C has the ability to run in local mode so that their servers are not required.

      Yeah, but still need to download their app to set it up and the progress updates trough the app also don’t work without the cloud, even when on the same network. Also no webcam, because that needs to be routed trough Chinese servers to guarantee optimal Image quality and latency.
