Before I can recommend anything, I have to ask you some questions.
Are you wanting a printer that you will spend more time tweaking and modifying than actual printing? Or do you want something that just works right out of the box?
Do you care about it being open source and upgradeable?
What's your price range?
Do you want to print miniatures and other fine detailed objects?
I don't mind spending some time tweaking the printer but I would tend to it should work!
Open source and upgradable would be great.
Price range is 800-1500€
I don't know exactly what I'm going to print but it would be more functional than beautiful I guess ;)
Currently I think I will by a Prusa MK4 maybe even as a build kit.
My Prusa MK3S is a workhorse, and putting the kit together was a blast! It’s so nice to focus on designing and printing things without worrying about the hardware. Sure there will be issues and learning curves to get past but you’ll learn so much very quickly.
