If you are considering this, please consider if you want to work on projects with the 3D printer, or you want a 3D Printer project. Some 3D Printer kits may leave you spending a lot of time maintaining and fixing your printer. My experience with the Flashforge Finder has been totally different - I have been able to spend more time designing parts and printing them, with the only maintenance being some bed levelling. Although I have upgraded with a magnetic print bed and additional spool holder.

## Filament

4137
The Flashforge has rather set my choice, I use PLA filament only. I have had some great prints from it, once it was dialled in. I've used transparent filaments, and all kinds of colours. Just be sure to get filament that isn't too cheap, and remember it has a shelf life. Try to keep it dry and from experiencing temperature changes before using it to print.

[Learn Robotics Programming](https://amzn.to/2RZqPIy) shows you how to build and program a Raspberry Pi based robot with Python in your own time. The book takes you through selecting the parts, assembling them into a robot, and then how to write Python code to make the robot do interesting things. What kind of things? Line following, object avoidance for a start. Or computer vision tasks like following a coloured object and looking at human faces.

The programming sections are step by step, and does not assume more than elementary programming skills (written a few lines of code? Know how to work with if statements and for loops?). This is a great way to get started on a robotics hobby!
