I'm just getting into 3d printing and I'm looking for some recommendations. My budget is $400 and I've narrowed it down to the sv06+ or the Ender-3 V3. I like that the print size is bigger on the sv06+ but all reviews point to the Ender, do you guys have any recommendations for me?

Also maybe the bambu a1? Or a1 mini? I don't like that the firmware isn't open source though.

I'm OK tinkering but just want some insight.

Thanks!

Yes, it's true. Most of the talk about Creality printers is based on their early models. I had a first gen Ender 3 and it was terrible. I had to calibrate it and adjust the screws after every print. But then I switched to the K1 Max, and it became much better.
