Hi 3D-Printer Community,

I am a total newby in regards to 3D Printers but want to start this Hobby. Do you have any tips and suggestions for me about good printers? Anything you wish you knew before starting Out?

If you want cheap-ish, go for Prusa Mini. It has a small plate, so you won't be able to print some of the larger design, but for me it was the sweet spot between reliability and not caring that much if it turned out 3D printing is not for me. You don't have to tinker that much with Prusa printers in general, which IMO is great for beginners.
