So the company im doing work for wants to buy a small 3D printer. Im obviously thinking to use this for my own means, namely designs found on this site 🤣

As they are not decided on brands or models (cheaper end tho), i thought i'd ask here which brands/models people here have.

And also is there any special features/settings that needs to be found on the printer if printing things like extension rings (assuming this is more setting focused than zoom gears)?

As the prices for printers are getting lower, investing in one and printing 3 or so extension rings can offset the price already if buying privately (thanks @Dave_Hicks ).

Seriously, you can buy a good 3D printer for the cost of ONE zoom gear! That's just $250 USD for an Bambu A1 Mini. For well under $1000 you can buy an amazing machine that will pretty much tackle any material and any scenario you can imagine. If I were to buy a 1st printer today it would be a Bambu X2D and an AMS combo for under $900. At least for created functional prints. (like camera, scuba, and household items)

If you just want to print multicolor flexi-dragons, there are other choices.
