items I decided to get my kids a 3D printer last Christmas, although I believe they're too young to operate it/print from sites. I print out their prints for them but let them look through and pick things.
As a beginner myself, let me show you my purchase...

3D printer & laptop recommendation
A Chromebook will not work, I had to buy a new laptop for this. I read there are some work arounds for Chromebook but to me a laptop would be easier and more useful!
This is the exact printer I bought!
It is sold directly from the supplier & is brand new! This is such a great printer and lets you print multiple colors! I was so scared it'd be so hard to figure out but I figured it all out and have printed MAN...
FLASHFORGE 3D Printer AD5X Multi-Color IFS Auto Refill High Speed Printing US
This is the same printer I already posted but this is through amazon if you don't like ebay. But, double check ebay, sometimes they have coupons or promos to save more money!
FLASHFORGE AD5X Multi-Material 3D Printer
This is the exact laptop that I bought when I needed one for the 3D printer. I only had a chromebook (not 3d printer friendly) so I had to upgrade. This laptop is honestly great, I love it! It would also work really well with a cricut!
HP 15.6 inch FHD IPS Touch Windows Laptop AMD Ryzen 5 7520U 8GB 1TB SSD Natural Silver
This may sound extra to some people BUT having a wireless mouse is so nice when 3D printing or using a laptop at all! It's so much easier than using the basic mouse pad that comes on the laptop!

Filament!
I have been using PLA+ since it's supposed to have better quality!
This is a great beginner set, especially to get a wide variety of color options.
These are smaller spools (250g) but I have filament that we use more in the big spools (1kg spools) for example; white, black, blue, red, etc. All of the basic colors I ...
SUNLU PLA+ Filament 1.75mm, 16 Pack 250g Spools, Upgraded Formula | BoneWhite+Midnight+Brown+Red+Yellow+Green+Blue+Orange+Purple+Magenta+Oak+Beige+Transparent Series-Clear+Orange+Red+Blue
This is a great basic bright white filament! An added bonus that I like to use white for....my kids! Sometimes we find basic prints that I'll print out in white and they'll color them in however they want! I have markers listed with 3d print accessor...
SUNLU PLA+2.0 1.75mm White 2KG Filament
I love these earth tone colors! I think they'd be great for 3D printed home decor! I also think the browns will be great to print a highland cow with 😅 which may be part of the reason I bought this bundle!
SUNLU PLA+ 1.75mm 1KG 4 Rolls Bundle
I know it's going to be a shock when you look at the price 😬 but this is a great starter bundle with basic colors. These are 1kg spools which are much bigger than the 250g you may find at a lower price. I bought this bundle to start with!
SUNLU High Speed PLA Filament 1.75mm, 10 Packs, Multi-Color | 1kg/Spool, Black, White, Grey, Pink, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Lavender Purple, 10kg PLA Filament 1.75mm Bundle
I bought this bundle a long time ago, back when I bought a more kid friendly 3D printer. This isn't the pla+ filament so the quality won't be as good as pla+ but it is a good starter if you're looking for a more budget friendly starter bundle. It is ...
SUNLU PLA Filament Bundle 1.75mm, Neatly Wound, 3D Printer Filament | 250g per Spool, 8 Rolls, Individually Vacuum Packed, Black+White+Grey+Transparent+Red+Blue+Orange+Green
This is a good seller to buy individual filament from as well. Usually there are deals on there to make your own filament bundle! I've used this seller a couple of times now and built my own bundles so I could have specific colors!

Some prints are going to require some gluing! Regular super glue works as well but I thought this was a good price for the size compared to some others I have seen
KRAFTPROTZ 1.76 Fl. Oz. 3D Print Super Glue Extra Strong Gel With Anti-Drying Tip - Waterproof For PLA, ABS, PETG & TPU
This is a great kit to help keep your spools moisture free! It comes with everything you need and the vacuum sealer works really good!

This is a great tool kit and has all that I have ever needed for 3d printing!
Rustark 42 Piece 3D Print Tool Kit Includes Debur Tool, Cleaning and Removal Tool with Storage Bag, 3D Printer Tool Set for Cleaning, Finishing and Printing 3D Prints
I got these so my kids could color on some of their 3d prints! We sometimes like to print items in white and they can color it whatever they want!
30 Colors Dual Tip Acrylic Paint Markers - Brush & Fine
This is another set of markers at a good price to color on 3d prints if you'd like!
SFAIH 24 Colors Permanent Markers Fine Point
This will also work for 3D printing!
Super Glue All-Purpose Liquid 1.75 oz
I have used this super glue as well! I like that you can apply it 2 different ways!
