The Qidi X-Smart 3 leaps to mind, if nobody is offended by my constant shilling of Qidi printers. (Not for any particular reason other than having owned two, and having no trouble with them in contrast with other machines.)
The X smart 3 is no longer available. Much to my sadness, I was going to buy one and it's no longer available. Not surprising due to most consumers wanting bigger and bigger printers.
There are really only choices in this size range any more that are actually decent. There are a couple of 'build it yourself' models out there, but most won't want to be bothered to do so. So the A1 Mini and the Prusa Mini are about it. It would be nice if someone else stepped up an made a good budget 180^3^ sized printer.
And yes, sadly I did end up with the Bambu Mini.
Well, that's annoying.
I'm here to shill with you. Qidi is looked over and is an amazing bang for your buck.
