Hi 3D-Printer Community,

I am a total newby in regards to 3D Printers but want to start this Hobby. Do you have any tips and suggestions for me about good printers? Anything you wish you knew before starting Out?

If you want to tinker with the printer, get a Bambu or Creality. They are cheap, and sometimes really good - but it's often hit or miss on whether your exact unit is fine or a lemon.

If you want something that just works, spend more to buy a Prusa. On a budget? Get a Mini+. Bigger budget? Get a Mk4. Or get a Mk3 used.
