Hey everyone! I'm in the market for a reasonably priced 3D printer. I've heard some good things about Bambu printers, but I'm not looking to spend a fortune. Mainly, I'd like to print jigs, push sticks, push blocks, clamp holders, and similar items. Any suggestions?

Check out the Flashforge Adventure 5M! It’s a very affordable option that still produces high-quality prints. You won't be disappointed!
I'd recommend checking out some Prusa printers. They're reliable and deliver great quality. If you're working in a dusty space, consider getting an enclosure or look for an enclosed model to keep everything clean.
Before you choose, make sure to consider the sizes of the parts you plan to print. Most entry-level printers have a build volume of about 20 cm x 20 cm x 25 cm, which works for push blocks but might be a bit small for push sticks.
Bambu is definitely a strong contender! They’ve got the A1 model and possibly a mini version that's still affordable. It's pretty user-friendly too!
Yeah, Bambu had some hiccups recently with locking things down digitally, but I think they've improved and are pretty straightforward to use now.
What dimensions should I be looking for, then?
