So back in the early days of 3d printing (2012) had purchased a Solidoodle 3. Iused it for a few years. It sat unused due to issues had run into with it and eventually got rid of it. Since then I haven’t had a printer, but I’ve finally convinced myself that it is time to get one again. So l’m looking for suggestions for sub-$500 printers. While wouldn’t consider myself a newb, I am very rusty. I’m however not opposed to tinkering and am a huge fan of open source. What printers would people recommend? I’m personally thinking the Sovol SVO6+ but am open to other suggestions.

    I just got a SV06+ about a month ago (first printer). I have installed Klipper and a few other mods and am having a blast. I used a Raspberry Pi and an old 8 inch Samsung Tab A for a screen to interact with Klipper even though Sovol does sell a Klipper screen for the SV06+ that you can install after the fact. I got it for about $360 on Amazon.
