3D Printing
Resin printing is really nice quality, but I haven't really used it much. Future me.
I mostly just print in PLA due to large availability in makerspaces. It probably is cheaper too, but haven't compared the pricing too much.
Printers
Bambu labs is the most "popular" brand as of 2026 due to reliability + price. The at-home project printer is the a1-mini ranging from $200-$400 based on sales and if you get enclosure.
I currently own 2 Ender 3 printers that need to be repaired (one bought from Teddy for $50, and the other is free from tool library)
