so im a teen with not alot of money but i want to get into 3d printing, another community suggested the ender 3 original. it looks like a solid printer but who know im a noob after all. my budget is around 100$ or less. im looking into making mini figures and painting them or whatever nerdy thing i find. i know the budget is tight but im hoping there is something, also im debating on buying a used 3d printer because they seem cheaper.

also any tips for a noob would be great like what makes said model good or bad compared to other models and such.

    If you plan on printing small things, I’d recommend checking your library first. My library has one that’s free to use, I just have to stay at the library while it’s printing, and it has to be while that section of the library is open, which is usually 4 hours at a time.

    I’ve seen other libraries that charge a small fee to print.

    This way you can get your foot in the door to make sure you enjoy it, and by using their machine/software you can get a feel for what you might want in your own printer.
