Hello there,

after a few years of being out of the hobby I am starting to get interested again after seeing that a lot of budget printers now are having all the features that my old one were missing. Direct extruder, auto bed leveling, dual z axis, stuff like that. So which one of the budget printers around 300€ would you guys suggest one should get to get started again? Elegoo Neptune 4? Creality Ender 3 V3? Anycubic Kobra 2? Sovol S06? There are so many good looking options that I am interested in your experiences and opinions. Thanks!

    Best budget printer is one someone is selling.

    Buy it, then if you have to, upgrade it into what you need.

      I agree IF you know where it’s coming from. You could be (likely are) buying someone else’s problem(s). You lessen the risk by getting a higher quality printer (Prusa, Bambu, etc) but NEVER buy a used one without seeing it print firsthand
