Make: Volume 42 - the Ultimate Guide to 3D Printing 2015

Make brought 16 of the top printers to their headquarters and hosted a weekend-long printer shootout staffed by the editors of MAKE and a number of luminaries in the field. They documented out-of-box experiences and subjected the printers to a number of print and torture tests. This issue presents their findings for you in a clear, concise manner.

With 3D printing advancing at an incredible pace, Make: magazine continues to lead with in-depth testing and reviews of the latest machines, newest printing software, and coolest prints and projects to create. This year's crop of printers features sleek, high-tech looks coupled with increasingly sophisticated interfaces that lower the barrier of entry to a wider range of new users. We'll show buyers how to pick the best printer for their needs, how to use it effectively, and how to fix problems when they arise. All this plus the wide-range of projects, features, and columns found in every issue of Make:--it's our annual best-seller, better than ever!
