Now that Bambu is off the table, which budget-friendly 3D printer would you recommend?

I don't know what your definition of budget friendly is, but I recently got a Flashforge Creator 5 pro. I've got around 30 print hours on it so far, and it's been fantastic so far. I have it in LAN only mode and have been using Orca slicer. Compared with my old Ender 3, it's an absolute joy to work with!
