Can one deduct a new 3d printer purchased for research on personal individual taxes? It is work related, i have been in manufacturing for 20 years so it is related.

If you are an employee who receives a W-2 then none of your employee business expenses are deductible on a federal tax return due to the tax code changes in effect for tax years 2018 thru 2025.
