So I think I'm going to take the plunge and buy a 3d printer specifically with the intention of printing enclosures for my electronic projects... any suggestions?

@freemo Prusa has quality printers, but they're pricey. However, I see a some people around me buying cheaper printers and coming back with stories of disappointing build quality and difficulty calibrating the printer. Resulting in poor print quality.

Build quality can be improved by printing plastic bits to fasten the printer. Basically upgrading your printer with printed parts. You can find the STL files for those add-ons online, depending on your specific printer.

A cheaper printer might be a great starting off point if you're just doing enclosures for electronics. I've heard good things about the Creality Ender product line. Those seem to be quite affordable.

@Ganonmaster I can afford expensive if i need to, but since my only interest is enclosures I'm not sure its worth it. I certainly dont want something i need to fix with custom parts though. I got enough to do on this project :)
