Any 3d printing nerd that can point me in the right direction? The amount of brands out there is overwhelming.
You're viewing a single thread.
I'm going to go ahead and say get an Ender 3. "Easy" 3D printing is nice and all, but if that's what you want, you can go order parts from a print farm.
An Ender 3 is really going to allow you to get your hands dirty. It's highly upgradable and extensible, and AFAIK it's also open-source now. There are anvariety of ready-mades community-made upgrades and modifications that you can print and apply, and some that you need physical parts for - but hey, that's half the fun!
Later on, you can swap to a more advanced and stable printer like a Prusa, but the education and experience that a simpler printer like this is going to provide is simply invaluable. Plus, it's also on the cheaper end, which is perfect for a starter printer.
(I'm talking about the Ender 3/3 Pro here, not the late upgrades like the V2 or V3, which are more restricted and come with a lot of features on their own, which really limits how much you can learn on your own)
