3d Printers for Wargaming

[Moress]

Hello all!

 

My brother and I recently got back into Wargaming (Warhammer 40k specifically) and have been thinking about getting a 3d printer so we can print out our own terrain and perhaps some bits and bobs for our models.

 

I know basically nothing about 3d printers and this was the first place I thought to ask for a general run down.

 

Anyone have a good suggestion for a 3d printer that is accurate enough to print terrain that size and is ~$300-500?

detailed small 3d prints usually require a more expensive printer unless u want to build it from scratch and dont mind modding. the anet a8 is okish stock but after a few mods and replaced parts its really decent. should be within ur budget aswell

I've had good results with a Lulzbot Taz 6.  Expect to spend a bit more or you'll probably grow out of it pretty quick.  Buy once, cry once.
