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.

    I think that depends on you budget. If the Sky is the limit a Bamboo X2D or a Prusa Core 1 are good options.

    But if you are going for a lower budget, look for a printer with auto bed leveling and availability of spare parts. Printer nozzle and print bed and considered consumables.

    If you find one with a direct drive extruder it’s a winner.
