Welcome to
HackSpace magazine
What is a budget 3D printer? It’s no secret that you can get a
good 3D printer for £300 these days. If you shop smart, you
can pick up a good printer for £200, but what if you go lower?
Our 3D printer test lab has been a hive of activity this month
as we aimed to answer the question of ‘how good a printer
can you get for under £100’?
We’ve tried printers in this price bracket before and not
had good results, but time and technology move on and there
are some more options now. The results certainly surprised

full rundown.
Of course, it’s not all 3D printing.

On page 74 you’ll find a guide to
expanding the graphical capabilities
of Raspberry Pi Pico and, on page 110, we take a look at adding
buttons and lights to this microcontroller. If you’re in a less
digital frame of mind, you can read all about making things
with wood and ink on page 80. Happy making!
