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

Seriously, amazing piece of kit and pretty open and hackable at that.

Way fun to use.

Only downside: the reverse bowden tubes make printing with PLA annoying because it keeps breaking in the tubes if you leave it in there for a few days without printing.

The upside: it prints PETG just as well as PLA, so I just stopped using PLA alltogether.
