i need to acquire a solid consumer (maybe consumer plus™) grade 3d printer

any recommendations? (brands and/or specific models)

is PLA still the material to go with?

i don't need a large build volume. parts don't need to handle high stress. i'll be doing mostly R&D/prototyping and low-volume fab. my prior experience was intensive but about 10 years ago (mostly Makerbots using PLA)

also another option is protolabs.com or https://www.xometry.com/

just send them the cad file

ty! will consider.. as i'm sure you know, cycle time is often the bottleneck for a lot of things R&D. tolerances are hard
