Hey 3dprinting! I want to buy a 3d printer for my little sister for Christmas. She's big into cosplay and engineering. I expect her to make props/and little container for things. Nothing crazy. I was looking at the ender 3 models but was unsure if that was the right pick. Just wanted to know if you had any advice. Budget is 2-300.

whatever you do don't get a Creality K1.

First one had a 10deg bend in the frame, the replacement had a bed leveling sensor issue that ruined my bed and fused my heatsink and heatbreak.

There are no replacement heat sinks available, so now I have a $700 paper-weight until they finally reply to my email.

I was a Creality fan boy until this, NEVER AGAIN. Thinking I'll go to Bambu
