Hi,

I want to buy a printer to try out 3d-printing. Thus a printer should be:

  1. Not too expensive
  2. Tolerant of beginners
  3. Easy to get in/to Europe.

I am presently looking at Anycubic, who have the Kobra and Kobra Neo on offer for 199 Euros and 179 Euro respectively. Are they any good or is there another printer that is a little better at a similar price point or way better at not too much more?

    Fully up to you, I use the 2S, and 3 pro. The 3 pro is great, but if you have budget, might as well go 4 pro

      Thank you, but I have two friends who have printers collecting dust, so I think I will go for the lower cost option and see how it goes.

        They are most likely collecting dust because they’re cheap crap. It’s like buying a $200 “mountain bike” from Walmart to try it out. Sorry, but you can’t buy a mountain bike for $200, there’s nothing to try out.

        Your cheapest option is to buy Ender 3 S1 and upgrade it with SonicPad.
