I’m just getting into 3d printing and I’m looking for some recommendations. My budget is $400 and I’ve narrowed it down to the sv06+ or the Ender-3 V3. I like that the print size is bigger on the sv06+ but all reviews point to the Ender, do you guys have any recommendations for me?

Also maybe the bambu a1? Or a1 mini? I don’t like that the firmware isn’t open source though.

I’m OK tinkering but just want some insight.

Thanks!

    Again, I’m a noobie, it’s Cura with Elegoo making changes to it. Does that help? I just do my own thing, but I’ve printed around 50 models with it. I don’t really know what other companies ship with software.

    Edit: Also, I build my own models in Blender, so it was easy for a 3d modeler? Maybe it’s not for someone who has someone do their models. I’m not sure.

      I was just curious if they had done their own thing. Some companies just ship Cura, some have done their own thing, and I wasn’t aware of which way they went.

      I’m not a giant Cura fan* so was just curious.

      (* Cura has the problem of trying to be everything for everyone and to do everything anyone ever might want to do, and ends up just being… a bit much.)
