I don't know anything about 3D printing, but I make stuff all the time. (
As background, I have done casual woodworking for ~20 years, lots of DIY, lots of tinkering with small swappable parts for making home items, I recently started using epoxies and resins to a solid effect. I'm excellent as t learning software, which is really my primary skill everything cognitive relies upon.
Would this be a good entry level device? If no, what do you recommend?
I don’t think I would recommend a printer like this as an entry point.
Go with a Prusa (any of them are good, choose the right size for you). Or if you don’t care that much about open source, check out the bambulab P1P or the other ones from them. They are very good at multi color printing.
Thank you!
