If you've been interested in giving 3D printing a go, but haven't moved forward due to budget restraints or skill level, we found a 3D printer that's both easy to use and affordable.
Right now, the Elegoo Centauri Carbon 3D Printer is on sale for $299.99, down from $379.99, at Amazon. That’s a 21% discount on what our freelance reviewer, Adam Doud, says is "truly beginner-friendly." It also arrives before Christmas, so you can have it unboxed and printing in about 20 minutes.
This machine is designed to be "plug-and-play." Unlike older printers that require a lot of tinkering, it arrives fully assembled and has a full auto-calibration cycle that levels itself.
"I'm sure there are more advanced models for hardcore 3D printing hobbyists," writes Doud. "But when I consider that my entire journey from unboxing the printer to printing 24/7 happened over less than a week, I'm impressed both with Elegoo for making an idiot-friendly 3D printer that even I could understand, and with myself for finally embracing a new category of tech that I had previously thought beyond my abilities."
