3D printer for someone who rarely prints (feddit.de)

I'm thinking about buying a small 3D printer for the odd project once in a while.

Problem is, I will not use it very often and I don't have much desk space for it to sit around.

Ideally (and I know this is utopia), I would like a device that I can pull out of a closet, fasten four screws, plug it in and be ready to go.

Is there something even remotely like that available? Every review I've seen just seems to assume that printers are basically static.

You could try to find some local dude that got into 3d printing and made it a business.

Yeah, I have a friend who got a used print farm, but I'm looking for large sla printing.

Well that’s definitely a different usecase
