The Anet A8 3D printer is a great one for the price. It has almost 5-star from costumer reviews on GearBest.  This printer is perfect for those who want their own 3D prints, but don’t want to spend a lot of money. The printer doesn’t come assembled, you receive the parts and have to build it on your own – so, you’ll actually learn how the mechanical parts work.

Recommended reading: we also recommend the Tevo Tarantula 3D Printer that is within the same price range.

This station has a digital temperature display, which isn’t common in soldering stations within this price range.

Additionally, it also has a 10 minute sleep function. This means that if you set the iron into the holder after using it, it will go into sleep mode after 10 minutes.
