I'm thinking of entering this world for the first time, and I was wondering if there are any models that you feel you would particularly recommend, thanks to anyone who would like to share their experience!

As a house with 3 dogs and 2 cats, it's not a real problem. Sometime a quick wipe is needed, but the critters ain't going to interfere with any printing.

That's what I thought too at first, then I forgot the door open once when I went to the toilet and when I came back I found one of my cats very closeling inspecting the moving toolhead heated up at 200°C pushing out molten plastic

And it's still annoying to clean the printer before each use
