Slightly unrelated, I was curious if anyone here could recommend a 3d printer? Smaller one would be better just trying out now. Does not need to be too accurate (nice if it does) but looking for something that is budget and most for doing very flat 3d objects (ie: height no more than 1-2 inches, within a width/length much smaller than 10x10 cm)
Probably not what you are looking for, but if you can afford it, I can highly recommend the Prusa I3 MK3S+ (actually I have the MK3S, but it's pretty similar).
The quality of the prints is incredible and the printer is really easy to use. I've printed a bunch of parts for use around the house that have solved problems where there's no way I could get a commercial solution -- I can just design what I want in Fusion 360 and print it.
This was my first (and only!) 3D printer so I don't have any comparisons, but I have been tempted to get a Ender-3 (Pro) just as a comparison (although I don't really have the space for 2 3D printers).
I did recently augment it with OctoPrint on a RPi with a touch screen (and of course a 3D printed front "console" that accommodated it) ... makes it much nicer to use and I can remotely manage via Wifi.
