I'd buy him a cheaper model like the Ender 3 series or similar. Unless he has unlimited funds for tinkering. That all depends on how much aptitude he has for this type of thing, Only you and/him can answer that. But, Creality makes printers for tinkering. If he doesn't mind doing that & knowing that Creality has a bad track record thus far with spotty CS, poor QA at the factory & they break more than other comparable competition then that's the risk worth taking, I don't care what Creality says...they are not marketing this printer for an unbox & go type of user. And I own Crealities. If I had the money I'd go with one the Bambu Labs offerings since I just want to unbox & print. I'm not a tinkerer.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Honestly , this was my second printer, i was printing files with it right of the box.. no tweaking anything, just ran default setting for what ever filament being used.. works great
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.yes this is a great starter printer for sure, This was my first 3d printer and you just unpack it and start printing, It's that easy !!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It would be a great choice for him.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Get a bambu labs mini with AMS, this one is too complicated to deal with all the quirks for an adult much less a child.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Ender 3 v3(really any model) would be appropriate imo. This isnt what i would call a good first printer choice.
