Hi guys. I am trying to buy a 3d printer for someone willing to create stuff anywhere from small PC enclosure for a radpberry PI to say awesome stands for monitors or appliances. I dont want to build outrageously big stuff but i need something beginner friendly in a cheaper side of budget (maybe 500€/$?) what would you recommend?

Edit: i am looking for the biggest dimension possible so say 300x300 dimension… i am not sure if its the biggest possible even. I read about sovol (i also like generally open source / ageless, i dont mind tinkering or learning) —

Wanted features:

300x300 dimension Open source? Maybe? Multi coloring but without much hassle

Im a noob in all this so i dont know about the latest and best features.

    As I said, a cz-300. Its as basic as FDM printing gets. Its time consuming. Zero automation, except for the printing. You will learn all the mechanics you might not be able to using the newer printers. I will sell you mine for $150.

      Hey sorry i didn’t get back at you over it, i slept over 20h and felt totally sick.

      i’d love to take it off you, how long have you had it? Is it in good condition? Does it have upgrades on it or would i need to buy a few? I don’t mind to talk on discord or something.

        It needs two parts. A ptfe tube fitting connector, and an SD card.

        Other than that its in good condition. However I have no idea how to switch out the nozzle without replacing the whole hotend. The nozzle is a little beat up, but works fine.

        If you send me an invite to a discord server I can share photos. I don’t feel comfortable posting my dm contact here.
