I am very interested in 3D printing and I want to get into it. What would be a good printer for a beginner that is also of reasonable quality.

I don’t want to make anything huge but I don’t want to limit myself to any size that’s unreasonably small.

Edit: Wow, you guys were all so helpful. While I haven’t made my decision I have a lot more to go off of, I’m gonna do a bit more research into it based on what you have all said.

    Dang, you give me hope that I can rescue my own Dreamer. Are you still using the original main board? Sadly mine are fried, and Flashforge hasn’t had them in stock for a while. Ran into the same problems you did, but damn is that machine a trooper.

      Still the same board, just with the wifi module removed, and instead a voltage converter and a raspberry pi ziptied into the empty space next to the board.

      The alternative firmwere is here: https://github.com/moonglow/FlashForge_Marlin

      Currently it’s mainly waiting on me finding time to do proper profiles for prusaslicer - though I did manage a few basic test prints.
