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.

    This is good advice. I made the mistake of buying a cheaper “project” printer to start and hated every minute of it before getting a Prusa Mk3S. I’m sure a lot of people want the printer to be the project, but if you actually want to focus of making things I highly recommend buying a printer like a Prusa or Bambu that just works.

    I know a lot of people like their Ender printers, but I worry that they are still “project” printers. Their design and construction just doesn’t instill confidence in me that you won’t have to upgrade, adjust, and repair it all the time.
