Hey everyone My sister wants to get into 3D printing. She has her birthday soon and we are thinking of gifting here a printer. What models wold you recommend?

What do you think of Bambu Lab X2D. What would you get for a beginer?

Edit: thank you all for the responses. I certainly did not expect so much engagement and such high quality answers. Will have a look at all the options you recommended. Hopefully our budget has enough room for a comparable morally righ choice.

    See recent reviews of the INDX Prusa… typical design issues.

    I just bought a U1. I print protein models, which are the most difficult things to print and the very first print on the U1 in two colors with a third plastic interface for supports was perfect.

      They fumbled the INDX release, that’s true. Probably betted on it, ran short on time and released it too early.

      The U1 is great indeed, got one myself. :)
