[Levent]

3D printer, I really hate and love my 3d printer.

[YourCrush1234]

This is one of those questions that no one will ever know the answer too

[Slottr]

VR is super sweet and I love my vive, but the tech isnt exactly perfect yet. I'd get the printer.

Depends what you want to do, I mean a 3d printer is cool because you can make almost anything with it, but with a rift you can explore many things that not a lot of us get to in the world of VR. Personally I would get the 3d printer as I am an engineering student so would be REALLY helpful with my projects but like I said, it is all subjective

[Cyberspirit]

The printer sounds more exciting and practical. VR is really cool but, it needs to get better or at least cheaper.

[Sauron]

Should you eat cake or pie?

Should you buy a car or a bike?

 

Questions like these don't have an objective answer, it all depends on what you want. I get the impression that you're just looking to buy anything though, so I would recommend keeping your money for when you actually want something specific.

Imma also chime in with the "get a 3D-printer", though, only if you get one of the higher-quality ones, like e.g. Prusa i3 MK3, and not the cheap, low-end ones. Why do I recommend a 3D-printer? Well, you'll have a proper excuse to learn some actually useful skills, ie. 3D-modeling and/or CAD, you can print all sorts of fun toys and gizmos, or you can do what I do and print custom cases for DIY-electronics, fix all sorts of things around the house, print custom parts that just can't be found anywhere and so on and so forth.

 

Hell, you don't have to even print anything for yourself: I print various kinds of plastic toys for the nurses at the nearby hospital to hand out to sick kids. I get a good feeling out of it, and the visit to the hospital will hopefully be a wee bit less awful for the kids, too.

I'llya be getting a 3D printer, as it's MUCH cheaper (for a little self build). I may think about occulus/Vive v2. Because IMO it needs 1080p+ to make it just feel more natural.

[aezakmi]

I'd keep my kidney

[LeapFrogMasterRace]

Used rift and a cheap $150 DIY printer 

[TetraSky]

Go for the Printer if you're into DIY stuff and can see/picture actual usage for it.

Go for the VR if you want to play games in VR... or watch porn.
 

[TB4211]

Depends what you would use a 3D printer for. What are your PC specs because that would effect whether you could use a rift properly?

Frankly saying, buy Oculus RIFT then if u have save up enough money, then buy 3D Printer.

I bought a used 3d printer just a couple days ago. Its cool but so far I haven't found it very useful.. and the prints can take hours to complete. 

 

If its an either or situation I would probably go VR headset

you probably wont be happy with a printer like that.

 

i started with a low cost printer as well and while it got me started i now really come to hate the shortcomings and i am considering buying a prusa mk3 so i can print much better quality.
