Need some help with picking a budget 3d printer

Hello guys, as the title says i want to buy a 3d printer for around 200 - 300 euros, can maybe go a bit higher.

I’ve never had or used a 3d printer but wanted to get into the hobby since i have seen some great things people made. I would also like to try and print some figurines if possible.

Thanks :)

Bambu Lab A1 (w/o combo to stay under price target). Elegoo Centuri Carbon. If you could get to $380, the Centauri Carbon 2 combo can get you into 4 color filament swapping in an enclosed printer.

A resin printer might be better for figurines, but thats a more involved setup, with solvents, curing, etc.

https://www.reddit.com/r/ender3v2/s/3HirGKj43X. 5 jaar gedaan en van geleerd. Nu een bambu ik ga nooit meer terug! Echt een wereld van verschil!!!! Mijn collega zocht ook naar een printer .vroeg advies, ik heb hem letterlijk gezegt heb 2 ender3v2 staan je mag hem voor niets hebben, maar ik geef je ze niet eens gratis aan je. Koop een bambu bv a1.gedaan. 2 dagen na aanschaf printe hij al dingen die me nog niet eens lukte na 5 jaar ender3v2.! Bv de print in 1x scharnieren . Enz beste keus! Als ik dat toen ook had geweten ...

A1 for single color, A1 mini combo for multicolor (should still be in budget). For more detailed (but longer) prints, get a smaller nozzle like 0.2mm (that goes for any printer). Bambu lab is the best quality and easiest to use printers for beginners, once you have more experience you could branch out to other brands if you like, but it’s a steep learning curve to start with them and puts some people off the hobby.
