Hello,
I'm looking to buy a new 3d printer to use at home. I want to print figurines for board games (about 25 to 50mm height).
I want something not too expensive, with a decent resolution and easy to use. I was looking at the Mars 4 by Elegoo and the Anycubic Mono X.
Any advice for a beginner hobbyist?
Thank you!

Budget?

Currently, I have:
Ender 3 Max
Ender 3 S1 Pro
Bambu X1-Carbon w AMS ($$$$)

The Bambu is my favorite by far, but significantly more $$, probably out of your budget.

Your 2 mentioned ones are also good.
 
Thanks for the information, I was looking for something in the 300$ or less range.
Have you had your Ender 3 for a while? What kind of printing are you doing with it?

I'm mostly using the Bambu now, but....

(a lot of those are from the Ender 3 S1)
