3D printer recommendations?
Hello,
I'm looking for a 3D printer soon and wanted to ask around if there are people here with experience who could help me choose, because there are so many.
A few things to help you get a better idea of me:
Budget: up to 1000€
No experience with 3D printers
Print size is basically irrelevant, but since it is a larger purchase I want to remain flexible
Material doesn't matter but I think more plastic
Speed and print quality should be balanced
I would also assemble it myself if necessary

Learning by doing works rather badly, just as (just) to question here. ;
Take your time and get familiar with the theory.
Read through real forums that deal with the topic. Good question is not the same as good answer. ;
Do not trust the recommendations of Fanboys, for which your own printer is always the best, find your printer that matches your ideas.
Don’t get that high. A cheaper printer without any play, idR is easier to control than a fully equipped high-speed machine.
Another important point is the slicer. The manufacturers usually provide an adapted original version. Your printer should be natively supported by PrusaSlicer and Cura.
For the start, you should work with the PrusaSlicer. It is a pure working animal and provides consistently good results. With some basic experience, Cura is also good to master. Cura is a playground with very many options, skillfully applied when printing can still get some quality or speed out.
Autoleveling is a fine thing, no question. It also works very well with manual leveling. I never had problems with the first layer on the Ender-2 Pro. At PLA I often had not activated the heating of the bed.
You have to say goodbye to the idea of the super-beginner printer that always brings top results. The devices always need maintenance and adjustment. You will always be faced with challenges, no matter what the printer costs and what equipment he brings.
My way doesn’t have to be yours, but maybe an inspiration for you.
I started with the incorporation into matter. Technology, functions, software, hardware and the peculiarities of the various plastics. After a few weeks the first printer was bought. Small, slow, but the quality of the prints were very good. The only weak point was the 8bit motherboard, which was installed at the time. Next year I will add the current model with 32Bit MB as a second printer.
Closed. First the theory, then the practice. If you are through theory, you also know what printer you want.
Thanks for the answer!
If it’s your first printer and you want to get in with it, I’d rather advise you to a Creality Ender printer at first, so you’ll find a lot of reviews, instructions, help etc. on the Internet or even spare parts when problems arise, with “unusual” printer sizes or even Noname products you’re more likely to be on yourself, have also had two printers of Tronxy who ran right, but never was so.
At the ender cih would also have you guessing the autoleveling, which makes you much easier.
You don’t need to spend 1000€ here by far, only if you start with it, there are good models between 250 and 400€.
From printers with ultrasound leveling/stopper for the Z axis I would also be advised, so one had my 2nd printer, which has made problems more often because he then screwed the nozzle into the pressure bed if he did not correctly detect the end point.
Even immediately before, no matter how fast the printers can be, most prints can’t be used afterwards if they are printed with more than 100mms, I print almost only with 30mms in the first levels and at the edge with about 40mms and the filling with about 50-60mms

Thanks for the answer, I have a few questions:
How long have you been in some way on the subject of 3d pressure and you were well known?
What else should a good 3d printer have, apart from what you already mentioned?
Do you have the Creality yourself?
Should the 3-D printer be a tool or rather a hobby project? For a 3-D printer as a hobby project, you can actually buy any cheap ones. But if you just want to print and don’t care that the thing works then I would recommend you take 250 more in your hand and buy a Bambu lab X1 Carbon
Well, he doesn’t have to go directly to the x1c, the new A1 or a P1S should do it as a tool.
But if Joa is right. I for the most part stopped at 3D pressure because it’s been so upset that the thing doesn’t work all the time and I just have to put it in time to print it.
Jup I understand perfectly, that is horny yes, that almost all models of BambuLab have this property to function easily
