Hi 3D-Printer Community,

I am a total newby in regards to 3D Printers but want to start this Hobby. Do you have any tips and suggestions for me about good printers? Anything you wish you knew before starting Out?

I suggest looking up videos on Youtube and getting the most popular printer. You'll have so.many frustrating problems that it will be 1000x easier if you have a lot of resources to look. I bought a cheap chinese printer and regreted every second. Get the the one with most troubleshooting resorces

Ender creality 3(?) should be pretty cheap and is really popular

Fwiw, I don't recommend an ender. Admittedly it's capable of great things, but certainly not out of the box.

Although it's not a huge selection, the best printer I've used in terms of ease and quality is the FLSun Q5. Prints great out of the box, auto-levels, easy to repair, plus it's a delta (which are just magical to watch).

ELEGOO Neptune 4

works from the day 1, both PLA and ABS+ and it plays nice with Cura.
