Your goal
What do you want to print or scan, how often and at what quality?
↗ EQUIPMENT ADVICE
The right machine for your purpose.
Printers, scanners and accessories come at every budget. I help you choose what suits your projects, not the marketing promise.
Lots of choice,
little guidance.
Data sheets promise a lot, reviews contradict each other, and what works for others may not work for you. A bad purchase costs not only money but also time and nerves: a build volume that's too small, unsuitable for the material you want, or too loud for the office.

Your constraints
Budget, space, noise and how much time you want to invest.

03 / CHECKLIST
Before you buy
These points decide whether a machine suits you. Go through them calmly before you buy, whichever manufacturer you are interested in.
-
Build volume
How big are your largest parts? Better to plan some headroom than to split parts later.
-
Materials
Almost any machine prints PLA and PETG. ABS/ASA, nylon or fibre-reinforced filaments place higher demands on the nozzle, temperature and enclosure.
-
Open or enclosed
An enclosure keeps the heat in for demanding materials and reduces smell and noise.
-
Multi-colour
Do you need several colours or materials in one print? Systems with material changes cost more and produce waste when switching.
-
Space and noise
Where will the machine stand? Fans and motors are audible, and some materials need good ventilation.
-
Software
Which slicer, which app? Does the machine need a cloud connection, or does everything work locally?
-
Spare parts and support
Are nozzles, build plates and wear parts easy to get? Is there an active community and good support?
Currently:
Bambu Lab.
When it comes to machines, my current focus is on Bambu Lab, because these printers are simple to set up and use day to day. Even so, I recommend the machine that suits your purpose and budget.
Advice on materials, workflow, maintenance and repair is brand-independent and applies to all printers.
What you can do afterwards
- You know which machine suits your projects, and why.
- You buy without costly detours and with the right accessories.
