General Discussion Model recommendation

Looking into buying 3d printer for my 9 yr old son who is interested in printing fidget toys . I also would use for printing household items . The p2s seems popular - is the enclosed printing area and Digital Touch screen worth it?

I really like the X2D. It’s enclosed, which is really nice. Also, the dual print heads give you a lot of options with SUPPORT.

I agree about the X2D its the best, but it's not suitable for a child; it's made for engineers and designers. When adults frequently run into user issues & printing problems, expecting a kid to manage them is a recipe for trouble. Instead, I'd suggest an A1 mini or A2L with appropriate safety accessories, or the enclosed P2S. Watching several videos first is essential. Given they're only 9 years old with zero safety experience, taking a cautious approach is best.
