### Tools
#### 3d Printer (of course)
If you can afford a little more in cost, I suggest the [Prusa i3 MK2](http://shop.prusa3d.com/en/3d-printers/59-original-prusa-i3-mk2-kit.html) at $699.99. It gets great reviews, isn't super expensive, and makes really top quality prints.
For filament printing, I presently use the [Creality Ender 3](https://amzn.to/3lrfyRg), which can normally be found for less than $200. It's a really common printer, so if you have problems, you can pretty easily find help online.
If you want something cheaper, GearBest reached out to me to have me print with their [Tronxy X5s](https://www.gearbest.com/3d-printers-3d-printer-kits/pp_701645.html?lkid=11524128), and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised, it's a really solid printer. You can pick it up for $285.99. Also, a lot of people seem to be really happy with the [Monoprice Maker Select](https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=13860) at $299.99.
For resin printing, I presently use the [Elegoo Saturn](https://amzn.to/3llNSgH) (Around $400). I think it's a great printer, and it has served me well, however, if you were getting one today, you might want to consider getting the more modern [Elegoo Saturn 2](https://amzn.to/3TqY4B4) (Around $560) which has an 8k screen to the 1's 4k screen. If you want something a bit cheaper, the [Elegoo Mars 3](https://amzn.to/40lgENi) (around $220) is the same basic printer, just a smaller build volume, and nothing I produce in openforge that you would resin print needs the larger build space of the Saturn.
#### Hobby knife
You'll want an xacto knife. I prefer one with [rubber sides](http://amzn.to/2ESwczx). You'll also want a [self healing mat](http://amzn.to/2H58ErW) and [plenty of blades](http://amzn.to/2H3PZwy) (a sharp knife is counterintuitively safer then a dull one). Don't be stupid with these, cut away from yourself. I know, I've had 3 bad cuts in the past few years, one of which that did permanent nerve damage to my left pointer finger. Be careful!
