- wespiser_2018 5mo agoI would start with one printer, only print PLA, then talk to your neighbors and family about it and focus on printing things they want and use. The card stands were a lot of fun, but most of what I print now are dog toys and gifts for my niece and nephew. It's nice to roll up to a family holiday, and have something interesting and unique you can just hand out. You could get started doing that for just a couple hundred bucks and some desk space!
