Yes, we know; 3D printers are getting featured every now and then on every major media outlet. That is because 3D printers are transforming the manufacturing world. The reason why they are so popular is that anyone can make use of them to 3D print cool items. 3D printing technology has become more reliable and precise. What makes buying a 3D printer even more tempting is the fact that the price tags are becoming affordable.
We have put together a list of five 3D printers that you can get in 2019 and become a 3D printing expert. Check out the list below and do let us know what you think of it;
Prusa i3 MK3
There is no way that you can go wrong with Josef Prusa. He based in the Czech Republic, and his printers have become the go-to 3D printers for beginners and experts alike.
