Looking to buy a 3D printer for my boyfriend for his birthday in March and just wondering if anybody has any advice on the best one to get and everything I will need to get with it. Thanks in advance.

I wonder if you have checked out the "3D Printing" section of the Forum?
just scroll down the menu.

Do you want FDM or resin? When are you next at Grantham, I can bring some along to look at...

Resin I think is probably best. We’ll be up in Grantham for the meet in March.

Ok, I will try to attend with a resin printer in tow

Thanks would really appreciate it. Just want to get some idea of everything I’ll need to buy.

You'll need the printer:

A wash and curing station:

Or curing station only if you stick with water based resin:

IPA for washing (unless you stick with water based resins)

Resin (as an example, others are available):

Gloves, as this stuff can be nasty:

A respirator would also be a good idea as well (IPA fumes are not to be messed around with!):
