    I have a Tevo Tarantula pro on it:s way which you might want to consider for the price. I think their bad reputation from days gone by has made it a bargain. Anyway I will find out as soon as it clears customs!

    I bought an anet a8. it needs to be assembled but that is half the fun. With the a8 make sure you buy the mosfet bed drivers for the bed and filament heaters. Havent tried printed petg yet, but ABS and PLC work fine.

    I have the Ender 3 Pro with a glass plate, control via Octoprint on an Arduino and with an auto bed leveling probe. Like that, it works well for me. Bare in mind that the Ender 3 is a very basic printer (but accurate), if you want comfort, consider above addons, so be prepared to spend another 150 EUR/USD.

    I have also exchanged all blowers and used some custom printed mufflers for the blowers, got a cicuit board with stepper drivers, and it is half as loud right now.

    We have 3 Ultimaker in our company and allways thougt this is high end - because they are expensive.
    Since half a year I own a Prusa prusa i3 mk3s and I can tell you its the way way better choice!.
    I can recommend this printer 100%

    I ended up buying an Ender 3 max - good value for money and a very active community

    You can do prints up to 300 x 300 x 340

    You should check out the Sunlu S8. It works fine out of the box. Using Cura with almost different Brands of pla. Its not expensive. Great for large prints. If you want to print small parts with fine details take a Look at These resin Printers.
