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?

I second the Ender, though i have read that there are now better options (precisely than the Ender 3).

I myself have modded my ender 3 to a pretty good amount, I'd have another z screw to install, figure out a direct extruder option, add more cooling fans, and maybe put on that 0.6mm high flow nozzle i got. Then i'm not sure what i could improve without it becoming an entirely different printer.

It's great to be able to look up using your printer name and get a bunch of guides that applies to you
