Would currently go for a Bambu A1 Mini, its dirt cheap right now and the print quality without any amount of tuning at all is superb. Perfect beginner machine. Way easier to get into than the Prusa or Ender. After putting probably close to a thousand hours of research, tuning, modding and rebuilding into my other printer (a frankensteined Geetech A20M) the mini just blew it out of the water with default settings (only lowered the flow rate from 25 to 15 or so, but thats not even really necessary).
Thanks a bunch for sharing, I'll definitely look into that before I end up buying another printer. I must say as of right now after all my end tweaking I'm pretty happy with it. But I don't think it is very beginner friendly.
I thought I may not get too much use ouyt of my FDM printer like I do for my Resin ones, but I was very wrong. I have made many, many useful household items that has saved us money and time.
No do not buy a prusa there are way better printers for less money wow, do some research I'm glad I didn't didn't just pull the trigger immediately........... That funnel is a few hours with a .8mm nozzle
@@HouseDadLife The best budget printer for PLA pet g TPU and small ASA ABS parts is the AD5M, for a printer that you want to print mechanical parts and more exotic filaments the Q1 Pro hands down, The best starter printer is the A1 mini or combo or regular A1

yup I wish the A1 Mini was out when I got my first printer, the ender has been "fun" but such a headache at the same time
I learnt a bunch from the ender, but, had I known what I would have to do to it to do what I want, I would have bought something else.
Thanks H.D.L. I have an Ender 3 as well.
Oh nice, toys or diy for you?
@@HouseDadLife Both.
@ronm6585 very nice.

It's one of those you don't know what you're missing until you have one tools.
Sovol SV08! thats prob gonna be my first printer. used a ankermake m5 plenty, so time to get my own
Mines' going as we speak, I go through phases of extreme use where it feels to slow to sitting for a few weeks with nothing.
If consumer 3D printing was a thing when I was little I would've kept up with 3D modeling.
I'm very glad I started, it's filled the DIY gaps nothing else could. You think it's too late? I have a feeling it's just getting going.
@@HouseDadLife Just like a table saw or a lathe it's a toy used for solving problems. No time like the present on learning how to use it.
Bambu A1/A1 mini

Okay, that's good to know, do you have a recommendation?
