3d Printer recomendations

Hi everyone!

 

I'm planning to purchase a 3D filament printer in October and I'm looking for recommendations. I've tried restoring an original PrintrBot, as well as some generic 3D printer that a friend tossed me, but the lack of documentation and support simply made these large paperweights! And BigTreeTech's documentation is essentially worthless! So I want something that has some type of support from the manufacture as well as an active community forum. My price range is around $300 USD/$400 CAD. 

 

Suggestions?

 

Thanks!

Ender 3 v2 is a great printer. Although my experience with it when I first got has been shaky, in couple of hours I fixed all the issues mine had and I have printed over 2.5 kilograms of various materials with it in 2 months. One thing I can suggest is don't mess with your first or only printer, fix problems as they come don't attempt mod it unnecessarily. That was one of the reasons why I shit experience with my Anet A8 and it took me close to 3 years to fix it.

I print my own designs (gives me a reason to learn fusion360) but mostly things I find on thingiverse. Yes, Ender3 v2 is a great printer for the price and would suffice %95 of the people who need a 3d printer.
