[Michlib-l] 3D Printer Suggestions?

[David Edelman]

Hello,


We are considering a 3D printer for programing, as well as to potentially let patrons print their own items on (with supervision).

I am new to this and see tons of reviews that can help guide me, but wonder what other libraries are successfully using.


Budget is being determined but likely will be under $1,000. We might swing up to $1,500 for the "perfect" machine.

I'd like something on the quiet side with the ability to print with multiple materials using standard filaments, nothing proprietary.


If anyone has suggestions and can provide any insight, I would appreciate it.

Please respond directly to me and I'll consolidate responses back to the list.
