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.

It can be upgraded to do multi color, but it wouldn't be as seamless as the Bambu sadly.

From some quick research, while the Sovol SV06 and Ender v3 KE have auto calibration, the Sovol requires you to set the z-offset (just once, in one location) after auto bed levelling has completed. However the Ender v3 KE is fully automatic and does not require any kind of user input after the auto levelling has completed

The printers that run open source Klipper firmware, like the Sovol SV06 and Ender v3 KE, can be customized and controlled through your homelab network out-of-the-box. I'm not too familiar if the same is possible for the Bambu - I'm aware you can control it via their mobile app and slicer software, but you won't have the option of configuring more advanced settings that would be possible on a Klipper-based printer.
