I am very interested in 3D printing and I want to get into it. What would be a good printer for a beginner that is also of reasonable quality.

I don’t want to make anything huge but I don’t want to limit myself to any size that’s unreasonably small.

    Depends on what you’re looking to get out of it. Printing medium-sized toys or busts or things without a lot of fine details? Probably an fdm printer like an ender 3 to start with.

    Wanting to print miniatures for tabletop games like d&d or Warhammer? Probably a resin printer like a photon mono 4k or something.

    The fdm printer will have a much larger build plate but lower quality, and resin will be much smaller but higher quality.

      Don’t buy Ender 3, it’s not really good (it’s probably the best in cost/value ratio, but not great in general).
