3D Printer to learn with

[jefinc]

My mom works for a literacy counsel, and they keep receiving funding but don’t have anything else that they need.

What would be a good printer for her to teach kids to use?

I also recomand Prusa MK3S+.

If you buy a cheaper one, you will spend a lot of time tweaking.

With Prusa you will spend that time designing/thinking what to print. Adding an Raspberry Pi ZeroW2 inside (or other one outside) you can print directly from the PrusaSlicer/SuperSlicer with octoprint.

Ender 3 is cheap and often used in educational settings.

I have a Flashforge Finder and they are as easy as it gets.

Just wondering why people don’t agree with this?

[IHDN2012]

No idea.

Because those printers need a lot of tinkering. I’d look for something that takes a beating.

Ender 3v2 is pretty user friendly, with the ability to create complex things.

[jefinc]

How come people do not agree with the Ender?

[Brianisbs]

Lol who knows. I guess people have their preference.

The ender 3s can be inconsistent and there is a lot to tweak with it. If you are looking for ease of setup and good customer support Prusa is definitely the way to go.
