-- With the new guide, Functionalize aims to meet the needs of hobbyists and enthusiasts seeking their first 3D printer. While professional printers can cost upwards of $20,000, Functionalize recognizes that reasonably priced desktop models offer effective results at a more budget-friendly price point.

To ensure readers select the right model for their needs, Functionalize's latest guide outlines several key factors to consider before buying. It examines the printers' compatible materials, noise levels, and extra features that enhance the user experience. For example, some entry-level models now offer smartphone connectivity for remote printing or breakpoint printing.
According to insights provided by G2, a leading software review platform, global sales for 3D printing reached $3.7 billion in 2021 alone. Looking ahead, market research firm Precedence Research has predicted the market may grow to $98 billion by 2032.
Functionalize's guide provides a comprehensive look at the latest entry-level 3D printers, ultimately selecting the QIDI Tech X-Maker as the best all-purpose choice. With its compact size and intuitive interface, the X-Maker is an ideal starter printer for users looking to learn the process.
For more advanced needs, Functionalize recommends the QIDI Tech X-Pro as another top choice. The X-Pro includes specialized features like breakpoint printing, allowing users to automatically pause and resume prints, as well as an emergency power loss recovery system. It also boasts a dual extruder assembly, allowing it to produce more quality finishes.
For makers working with limited space, several smaller printers are available. Functionalize suggests the compact FlashForge Adventurer 3. Measuring just 5.9 x 5.9 x 5.9 inches, this printer's footprint is suited for crowded desks and small workshops.
A spokesperson states: "Most of the printers in this price range will be a bit smaller than the more expensive models. If you're just getting started, you probably plan on printing smaller projects, so that's fine. But if you want to work on bigger pieces, then you'll probably have to spend a bit more."
