I am very interested in 3D printing and I want to get into it. What would be a good printer for a beginner that is also of reasonable quality.

I don’t want to make anything huge but I don’t want to limit myself to any size that’s unreasonably small.

Edit: Wow, you guys were all so helpful. While I haven’t made my decision I have a lot more to go off of, I’m gonna do a bit more research into it based on what you have all said.

    You should first consider how much time you want to out into it. Or I’m other words, are you interested in 3D printers or 3D printing? Difference is that the first has cheap printers and might need upgrades and tweaking to get everything rolling well but you save money (most likely) and understand more about them. Second option means you dish out more money up front but get reliability and quite possibly support from the company behind the printer should you run into issues.

    Haven’t been thay much looking into printers as of late but last time I checked the first option was 300-500e and second roughly 1000e. Like Ender 3 lineup vs Prusa mk3 (and now 4).
