Looking to get a new 3d printer at around $300.

I've been looking into the creality ender 5 to replace my crap da Vinci mini w+. I was wondering if this community has any suggestions.

Take a look at the prusa mini.

Those are backorder for quite a few months now.  So, ordering one will require a few months wait at this point.

Can’t get much better than the Enders at that price. 

Those or Anycubics, especially during sales.

Depends if you wanna build it. I have the monoprice mini and it comes with literally no building effort from me lol

Any updates to this?  

 

Im in canada and am debating between the Ender 5 and the Anycubic Mega-S, or anything else in the 400-450ish CAD range.

I decided to go with an ender 3, but heavily upgrade it. It gives me better print results for about the same price. 

 

I'd get this (or a geeetech a10 clone), unless you want a bigger printer. I'd get an evnovo sidewinder x1 or cr-10(s) if you want a bigger printer

 

side note: i haven't heard about the mega-s but has great specs, it's up to you on that one.
