I’m planning to buy a 3D printer.

Any recommendations from the 3D printing community and experts on which one to go for as a beginner.

@itskanishkp If you can afford it, a Prusa will treat you well and last for years and years.

Avoid Bambu.

@RichiH Hey thanks, for sure I'll never go for Bambu as they does not have a FLOSS support. but Prusa is way out of my budget (which is ~$280 ) any other recommendations apart from Prusa. I checked out the Creality Ender 3, and it fits my budget. and mainly I prefer an open platform when I can tinker and learn and more preferably an open hardware ( with Open Source Software support ).

@itskanishkp a friend of mine got his Core ONE two weeks ago and sold his Mk3s for 250€. As more people get their Core ONE, maybe eBay etc are a good place to look?

@itskanishkp I hear OK stuff about Sovol as well. RatRig seems good, but expensive.

I'd avoid e.g. elegoo as they are too new in the FDM and the core xy business.
