For those that are interested in 3D printing their own devices for themselves or others but who do not have access to a 3D printer and are interested in purchasing their own – we have created a small list of our e-NABLE Community’s favorite machines that are being used within the e-NABLE Community to create devices for those in need!

For more information on recommended 3D printers – please visit Matterhackers and let them know that you are interested in purchasing a machine to create e-NABLE Community designs on and they will help to answer your questions and guide you to the machine that will work best for your classroom, home workshop or business! They have a 24 hour customer service line to help you with all of your printing needs or questions!

When you purchase a 3D printer or filament through any of these links below – your purchase will also help support the enablingthefuture.org website!

Consider purchasing and donating a 3D printer to a school or local library so that families and students can all benefit from this technology!
