I'm just getting into 3d printing and I'm looking for some recommendations. My budget is $400 and I've narrowed it down to the sv06+ or the Ender-3 V3. I like that the print size is bigger on the sv06+ but all reviews point to the Ender, do you guys have any recommendations for me?

Also maybe the bambu a1? Or a1 mini? I don't like that the firmware isn't open source though.

I'm OK tinkering but just want some insight.

Thanks!

I was just curious if they had done their own thing. Some companies just ship Cura, some have done their own thing, and I wasn't aware of which way they went.

I'm not a giant Cura fan* so was just curious.

(* Cura has the problem of trying to be everything for everyone and to do everything anyone ever might want to do, and ends up just being.... a bit much.)

I have only great things to say about it. Maybe Elegoo modified it enough? I don't know.
