I want to buy a 3D printer for about 200-250€ but I’m unsure which one to get. There are printers that a lot of people recommend but others say they’re a piece of garbage.
The ones I found so far are these:
Creality Ender 3 V3 SE - 182,94€
Anycubic Kobra 2 Neo - 199,00€
Sovol SV06 - 239,00€
There’s also the open source firmware Klipper, which a lot people recommend but from what I understand, you need a Raspberry Pi for that. I do have a Pi 4 that I was planning to sell that I could use for that instead.
Would be great if some of you who know more than me could help me decide what to get.
I’m really happy with my FLSUN Q5 printer, it’s a small easy to use machine with auto bed leveling. It’s not for sale anymore, but you can pick up some of their newer machines for around 200€ pre-owned, or if you have the time, wait for one of their frequent sales to come around to pick up a new machine.
