I've been saving up a bit of money the last few months in hopes of getting a 3D printer to print myself some freedom. What I didn't anticipate was how saturated the 3D printing market is. There seems to be a ton of different fairly cheap printers. In your guys experience which one would you suggest around the 300 to 500 dollar price range? Or should my budget be larger? Was also wondering what plastic material would be the most durable for p80 style frames?

Ender 3. You can print lots of little flags, I'm printing a miniature 3d rendition of Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima. It might turn to shit but it sure is fun to watch the layers stack up.
What's the benefit of that particular filament?
Anything newer than the Ender 3 will work perfect.

Buy some eSun pla+ to start. Fiber reinforced nylon is the best option but is hard to work with
Edit: also checkout the encrypted group chat app keybase, Det disp is on there
Everyone is telling you ender 3. I am going to tell you make sure you get the ender 3 pro
Better psu, magnetic bed
With upgrades you can print abs. Without you can print petg. Abs> petg for freedom printing. But petg will work.
Been printing for 3 years. Ender 3 pro is still the best printer I own. Hands down. Upgrade the board for quiter operation, add a bltouch so you never have to bed level.
Prusa i3 Mk3.
Set and forget, works every time, can print in any material.
Plastic doesn't handle anything over .22 so I don't consider it practical, but it sure would be a lot of fun.
