Hi all. 3D printing is something I have been wanting to get into for a while. I can think of all the nifty things I can do with it for all my hobbies. Anyways, I am trying to stop this thing I tend to do where I go overboard when I buy into a hobby. Plus, I am not sure if I am going to like it or stick with it, so I am not looking to spend close to a grand for a 3D printer. I still really don't know what I am doing, what features I want/need, or even really how big I might want it to be. I am decent at 3D modeling. I have an A.S. in engineering, so I learned CAD pretty well, and I also have designed a few planes for flight simulator in my day. I am 90% sure I will survive on the design part.
So, I have been reading what you all have written on here and sleuthing around the internet, and I have kind of came down to these printers:
1. The highly recommended ender 3 v2. Benefits are a huge userbase and readily available parts.
2. Sovol 1 - I could use this to print tires for my RC car, I never can find ones I like.
3. There is also the anycubic mega, which already has an autoleveling bed.
Which one do you all recommend? They cost about the same, but have different strengths and weaknesses.
