The Mini and miniMaker have been especially popular with beginners and educators for their user-friendly features including auto-calibration and auto-loading filament, as well as their sizable 5.9″ x 5.9″ x 5.9″ build volumes. The Mini can be purchased at Amazon, B&H, Frys, Michaels, Overstock, Sam’s Club, and Walmart, while the miniMaker is available from Amazon, Newegg, and Walmart.

Don’t forget, XYZprinting offers plenty of free resources, too, such as the XYZ 3D Gallery, which contains over 5,000 3D models that are free to download and print. With nine different categories that include art, fashion, toys, education and more, there will be plenty to keep you busy as you start working with your new printer.
Then there’s their free XYZmaker CAD software, and, for the educators among you, the completely free XYZprinting STEAM program, which includes STEAM-related curriculum that involves 3D printing. Each project contains curriculum, a file listing applicable education standards, instructions for operations and assembly, and a reflection portion for students to think about ways to improve upon the project. The website also contains plenty of images, videos and STL files. So when your students grumpily come back from holiday break, you can cheer them up with some fun 3D printing projects.
