I'm shopping for my first printer, I don't have any experience with 3d printing but I'm vaguely familiar with the whole process and I understand there will be a learning curve and I'm looking forward to that part.
I'm leaning towards the Creality S1 Pro because I remember the huge hub-bub about the Ender 3 when it first came out and it seems like everyone and their brother suggests it as a good first printer but then when I read reviews it seems kinda janky and I'm an adult with a job so I don't mind fussing a little but I don't want to fuss a lot.
I picked the S1 Pro because I think it has an auto-leveling print surface and the name recognition from the previously mentioned Ender 3, but when I try to research other printers I'm completely overwhelmed by the options.
Depends how hands on or off you want it to be. I wanted complete ownership so I went with an open source one and did Klipper and other mods and after all that its maintenance free but certainly not a short road. Know it inside out though so no relying on anyone else to fix it which was important to me.
If you want good support and relatively hands off Id do Prusa or Bambu
