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?

Ender 3 S1 - should be able to get for equivalent of $299 USD

Very simple to use, easy setup, works out of the box, Cura defaults work well, and good quality
