My favorite from the list is Bambu Lab X1C. I like it because it balances power and versatility nicely. It handles lots of materials, prints very fast, and its enclosed design makes it more stable and reliable. For someone doing cosplay pieces or large props, that mix of speed, quality and reliability makes a big difference.

Really helpful breakdown. I like how you separated each printer by what it does best. It makes it easier for someone to choose based on their project size and budget. I’ve heard a lot about Bambulab lately, so seeing it recommended here makes sense, especially with the multi color printing.

The Elegoo Neptune 4 Max also caught my eye because that build volume is huge and ideal for full size props. It is good to see you’re only recommending tools you actually use. Makes the list feel more trustworthy.

Looking forward to the updates when you test more printers.

Do3D recommends fast, reliable printers like FLSUN, Bambu Lab X1/A1, Creality K1 Max, Elegoo Neptune 4 Max, and Elegoo Jupiter SEĀ for resin prints.

They also suggest essentials like super glue, magnets, sandpaper, polarized visor sheets, M2 screws, and servo kitsĀ for building and finishing 3D-printed props.

Great breakdown of 3D printers and essential supplies!Ā šŸ‘

I really appreciate how detailed this list is, especially with the pros and cons of each printer. It's helpful to see options for different needs whether you're looking for speed, build volume, or versatility in materials. The Bambulab X1C and Creality K1 Max are definitely on my radar after reading this. The speed they offer is impressive!

Also, the recommendations for tools like the Super Glue and sanding supplies are a nice touch. As someone who’s just getting into 3D printing, it's good to know which products are trusted by experts.

Looking forward to the updates on the new printers you’re testing! Keep up the great work. šŸ‘
