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.

    Ender 3 Pro used with large wheel upgrade as a starter. Upgraded the hot end and extruder. Prints beautifully. Looking to add a CR Touch soon. But I learned manual bed leveling and can do it fairly quickly. You can get great prints from Enders you just need to understand what causes what and there are a bazillion videos that go over that. It’s like learning to drive a manual car first then drive automatics. Great starter printer.
