This is my go-to 3D printer recommendation for beginners who want to print awesome nerd sh**

Elegoo Centauri Carbon seen from the front, in front of board game shelves.

Getting your hands on a good 3D printer for beginners is a bit of a minefield. Many machines claim to be easy to understand, but the reality is... well, slightly different. Because getting your head around the process is so worthwhile (it's a rabbit hole of amazing props, cosplay, terrain, and miniatures), getting something that won't make you want to tear your hair out is pretty important.

I've been reviewing these machines for years now, and there's always one I suggest as a good 3D printer for beginners - the Elegoo Centauri Carbon. I use mine to create everything from tokens for the best tabletop RPGs to inserts for storing components from the best board games, and you can currently get it for a record low price.
