Ok, so I know nothing about 3d printing, but since we became empty nester, am looking for a new hobby. My wife us taking up pottery, but thats not for me, and 3d printing seems like a good bit of fun.
Started looking at videos and comparisons and all that, and the Ender 3 came up, but it seems smaller, so looked at the 5 plus. Then I started to wonder if there might be better options, while staying under $1000. Bambu, Prusa, Anycubic…what should I look at if I want larger prints but am a beginner.
I have an ender 3 and 5, both have been fun hobby printers, but have taken a fair bit of modification and patience to get to the quality and speed I desire. My workplace has a fleet of Prusa Mk3s that have been killing it as far as how little maintenance has been needed, and would also probably be my next acquisition
