SV06 ACE

Tbh, at that rate I'd go buy a Sovol Zero - I imagine if you're buying all the parts yourself to attempt am A1mini clone build you might end up in the same ball park. I imagine others might have other suggestions. All that time and energy you would otherwise spend sourcing, assembling and testing ca

For cosplay you'll probably need a bit more space. I might recommend a sovol sv08 or sv06 plus ace. I have an artillery sidewinder x4 plus s1 that is an absolute beast for only like $230 but it does require a bit of understanding of what's going on and probably isn't the best beginner printer

I have an artillery sidewinder x4 plus that is fantastic but not the most beginner friendly machine around. If you have the budget, a Bambu H series is pretty f

I’m a big fan of the Sovol brand. Open source and they make great machines. I got the SV06+Ace for $300. They have cheaper, but that’s my recommendation. It only prints one color, but it has a 300x300x350mm print bed. I use it almost purely for functional prints.

If you want to not be locked in to an ecosystem then my recommendations (and what I’ve stuck with after dozens of different printers) 1 - Prusa. Core One is great but has some teething issues.
