Hello! I have been on the fence about getting a printer for years. Now my wife is getting interested too, and I feel that now it’s the time.

What are the recommendations nowadays? I am trying to steer clear of Bambi Labs due to their controversies (I’m also a supporter of open source software).

I’ve seen a few mentions of Prusa in this community. Would that be a good start? I don’t want to get in at an extremely basic level and then need to upgrade in half a year.

    I can recommend the Flashforge AD5X. I use it in “offline” mode with Orca Slicer, instead of using Orca-Flashforge and going through their cloud.

    Anyway, easy to use, can print with 4 colors loaded, automatic bed levelling. Can do all sorts of filament types. Pretty satisfied with it. Was not an expensive device, which is greating for dipping your toes.
