3d printer for beginner? (lemmy.world)

Hi guys. I am trying to buy a 3d printer for someone willing to create stuff anywhere from small PC enclosure for a radpberry PI to say awesome stands for monitors or appliances. I dont want to build outrageously big stuff but i need something beginner friendly in a cheaper side of budget (maybe 500€/$?) what would you recommend?

Edit: i am looking for the biggest dimension possible so say 300x300 dimension… i am not sure if its the biggest possible even. I read about sovol (i also like generally open source / ageless, i dont mind tinkering or learning) —

Wanted features:

300x300 dimension Open source? Maybe? Multi coloring but without much hassle

Im a noob in all this so i dont know about the latest and best features.

I didn't need to fiddle with anything to make it work. Assembly was easy and it worked out of the box. The only change I made was replacing the glass bed with a mirror of same size as it was recommended by many youtubers

What the mirror bring vs a glass bed ?

[–] sun_is_ra@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago

u want surface that is very very flat because any minor bumps even if not visible would impact build quality.

mirrors tend to be very flat because minor bumps would distort the reflected picture so its a safer bet.
