Once you fight through some of the issues with the low-cost FDM printers they can actually be pretty useful. Yep, there will be jams and such, usually at the least convenient time, but I've found PLA to be a pretty reliable material over the past couple years. If you keep a couple spare print heads on hand, you can always clear one while printing with another.

Perhaps the question is "how do I turn printer jams into a learning opportunity for my students?"
