I want to buy a 3D printer for about 200-250€ but I'm unsure which one to get. There are printers that a lot of people recommend but others say they're a piece of garbage.

The ones I found so far are these:

  • Creality Ender 3 V3 SE - 182,94€
  • Anycubic Kobra 2 Neo - 199,00€
  • Sovol SV06 - 239,00€

There's also the open source firmware Klipper, which a lot people recommend but from what I understand, you need a Raspberry Pi for that. I do have a Pi 4 that I was planning to sell that I could use for that instead.

Would be great if some of you who know more than me could help me decide what to get.

I love my Aquilla. It's just an Ender 3, basically. All the same mods and firmwares work the same.

Yup, friend of mine describes the aquila as the "AK47 of 3d printers"
