Hi guys. I am trying to buy a 3d printer for someone willing to create stuff anywhere from small PC enclosure for a radpberry PI to say awesome stands for monitors or appliances. I dont want to build outrageously big stuff but i need something beginner friendly in a cheaper side of budget (maybe 500€/$?) what would you recommend?

    Do you want am easy start or a cheaper start? You’ll learn more with something like a cz-300 but you’ll have an easier time with a prusa or bambu.

      I think a cheaper start. I don’t mind things being a little tough. Unless the “easy start” is just 50-100 more but with same features. However if i can control a device from an open source app i vastly prefer that.

        As I said, a cz-300. Its as basic as FDM printing gets. Its time consuming. Zero automation, except for the printing. You will learn all the mechanics you might not be able to using the newer printers. I will sell you mine for $150.

          Hey sorry i didn’t get back at you over it, i slept over 20h and felt totally sick.

          i’d love to take it off you, how long have you had it? Is it in good condition? Does it have upgrades on it or would i need to buy a few? I don’t mind to talk on discord or something.
