Hi, I am seriously thinking of buying a 3D printer but I am still a total newb about the subject. Those who know about 3D printing, could you help me out  . What brand is the best for home printing at the moment, or is this even the right time to invest in such a machine?My budget for the machine will be 2-3k€. please ask, if you want me to tell more facts about the use etc. |

If I wasn't complete crap at modeling I'd buy one of these. Someone want to let me steal their skilz and gain their knowledge?

Get a laser liquid resin printer. The z step is finer as is the spot size. the resin is more expensive currently. The print bed is a consumable and resin is around a 100 per liter. Just search kickstarter you'll find one. I have a form labs coming and an fsd from Vegas. The for labs I will use for large items, buildings and terrain. The fsd is resin and will be for dudes, 6 to 20 mm. |

Hi! I've been looking at this for a while and I think the technology is there, all it needs is to go done in price a tad. I predict getting one in 3 years. Primarch |

Couple more years and things will be incredible in the home 3d printer category...i think right now the detail you might look for in a 6mm model is sadly reserved for larger, more costly machines. Best i've seen is making terrain and other larger items. But's DEFINITELY coming sooner than people think! |

I would print scenery mainly, not 6mm miniatures. But yes, I think it's better to get 3D skills now and wait for better "home office" printers |

If it's just to print scenery, you might want to check out the printrbot simple. I think it's $299. Can definitely print small terrain pieces. I think build volume is 4" cubed. I'd link for you but on phone...

thanks Sgt! But what is the level of detail? Is the surface too grainy? |

Interesting topic. I have also guessed that one of those liquid resin printers is the way to go. However, I have not seen anyone try it to print 6mm minis yet. Is there anyone outthere with actual experience? |

I believe Brumbaer is printing 6mm with liquid resin in his thread here: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=26528&start=30 He's using the B9 Creator: http://makezine.com/review/guide-to-3d- ... 9-creator/ |
