Hi, I am totally new to 3D printing and want to have a printer. Budget is 400€. My background is computer science and programming and I want to be able to hack the device if I want but it should work fine OOTB (or with minimal effort). Which device would you guys suggest to me?

    I was in a similar position recently, but also valued OpenSource (see meel being here ;) )

    I went with the Prusa Mini+ semi assembled kit.
    it’s been chugging through filament for a few months.

      I’d recommend the Mini+ as well. We have two here at work for our engineers to use and suffice it to say they’re not the best at respecting tools. Our 2 mini+ printers have been consistently reliable with minor hiccups.
