Hi all, I want to buy my son a 3D printer for his 20th birthday. He is a third year computer science major, so has no issues with the software side. I have no idea where to start, or even what questions to ask. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Fellow Aussie here - you can get an Anycubic Kobra S1 Combo for less than that. Excellent printer - I've had mine a few months and already have ~600 hours on it.

    Thank you. My list keeps growing….
    Happy to spend the money on the right printer, as long as it doesn’t become an expensive dust collector.

    $1k is ok, as long as it’s used, but I gotta say, the current special of $369 for the Kobra 3 v2 is pretty enticing!
