Help! Best 3D printer

[Cpl Goertz]

Hi Guys!
I'm in grade 9 and my school will buy a 3D printer for "special projects" as long as it is under 500 dollars CAD. I'd like to be able to 3D print RC airplanes and other RC things. I am just wondering what is a good 3D printer for under 500 CAD.
Thanks,
Cpl. Goertz

Ender3 V2 with bed leveling would be my recommendation.

I agree that an Ender 3v2 with a BL Touch would be a great choice.

+1 on the Ender3

I jus got mine a few hours ago.

I have the Ender 5Pro, which is a bit bigger print base and a bit more stable still under the cost.

But all enders seem to be well reviewed (Ender 3) being the most popular

Agree, Ender is a great choice, found this topic https://forum.flitetest.com/index.php?threads/3d-printer.67652/, you can find some more tips there.

The prusa mini is amazing if you are printing something smaller. my local library has one, and it costs about 500 cad.

Sovol makes great and cheap 3D. Most Ender settings work, but slightly better value because it comes stock with a direct drive extruder - which does flexible filament like TPU for tires. The Sovol 1 (which I have) is available as refurbished for $169 (I paid $320 two year ago).
