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.

I got an elegoo neptune 3 pro on black Friday deal for $189 and ive been happy with it. It has auto leveling and the ability to put klipper (I haven’t done it yet but I’m 99% you can). Its my first 3d printer and fairly beginner friendly but still a little learning curve. Its not perfect but for around $200 I’m happy with it and I’ll be saving money to get a better printer at some point probably but have no real rush to as this one is decent.
