- I never touch or see a 3d printer in my life, I want to get into some easy to use one (off course easy to repair if something went wrong)
- I want to make some 3d jewelry "stuff" for molding and looking for machine that can prioritize fine detail over speed

- My budget is 500usd but would be nice to be as low as possible

- TBH I want a fine detail FDM one instead of SLA, because I don't want to handle liquid Resin, but if SLA benefit can outweigh FDM then so be it, also FDM can be more future-proof if I don't want to do jewelry stuff.

How small are your parts?

 

The smaller your parts are, the more layer lines you're going to see, even at lower layer heights on an FDM printer. 

 

Left is 0.05mm layer height, right is 0.15mm

For reference this a 1.5" (38mm) diameter box fan knob I made.
