Why should you use this product?

Anycubic Proton might be able to fulfil your all your needs as you are getting a 3D printer with a better technology compare to the other 3D printers that are available in the market with the similar price range or more than that and It also use less resin than other 3D printer which allows you to print more thing in lesser cost and less refill.

Monoprice Mini Delta

Monoprice Mini Delta printer was designed to an entry level printer and right now it’s is the cheapest 3D printer that are available in the market.As,it use FDM technology it won’t be able to give you quality work,but if you consider it’s price range it works quite decent and gives you nice print of miniatures.

Features

• It comes with Wifi connectivity so you don’t have to link your computer with the printer ,you can directly give the command from anywhere in your house.
