prompter: What is a affordable 3D-Printer to get started printing, that doesnt require a lot of maintenace and is capable of producing high quality prints without too much effort?

assistant: A great option for a 3D printer that is both affordable and capable of producing high quality prints without too much effort is the Monoprice Select Mini 3D Printer V2. It is an easy to use, plug-and-play 3D printer that requires minimal maintenance and produces detailed prints quickly and accurately. It is a great value for the money and perfect for beginners.

assistant: The Prusa Mini+ is a popular choice for beginners. It isn't the cheapest option, but is high quality and easy to use, making it a good value purchase whilst still being affordable.

prompter: I have checked the price, and I cannot afford it. Can you offer a cheaper option?

prompter: Give me a list of cheaper options, sorted by quality

assistant: One possible option would be the Ender 3 V2 or S1 since they are very capable printers for their pricepoint and have a big community around them, meaning that if you run into any issues, you will most likely find a solution easily

prompter: How about a DLP printer?

assistant: DLP 3D printers use a projector to cure resin into a solid object and produce high-resolution and detailed prints. Affordable options for beginners include:

    Elegoo Mars
    Anycubic Photon
    Phrozen Sonic Mini
    Keep in mind that DLP printers require more maintenance than FDM printers and the resin can be messier to work with. It's important to read reviews and ask for recommendations from the community before making a purchase, also have proper ventilation in place to avoid resin fumes.

assistant: For DLP printers, a good choice is the Elegoo Mars series. The Mars 2 and 3 are very cheap while still producing higher quality results than FDM printers like the Ender 3. They are very small, however, which can be a drawback for some users, but a boon for those with tight living spaces.

assistant: DLP printing can give stunning results, but the resin used in it is highly toxic and requires special care, and the prints require special post-processing. As such, it is not recommended for beginners, who should instead start with FDM printers such as the Ender 3 series.

prompter: What filament should I use?

assistant: You can use PLA, TPU, PETG, and ABS filaments with the Ender-3. PET and PETG filaments are known for their ease of printability, smooth surface finish, and water resistance and they should produce high quality prints.

prompter: Ok but where can I buy this 3D printer?

assistant: You can purchase both printer models from their manufacturer Creality's official store.

You can purchase the Ender 3 V2 here: https://www.creality.com/products/ender-3-v2-3d-printer-csco
The Ender 3 S1 Pro is available here: https://store.creality.com/products/ender-3-s1-pro-3d-printer

Both 3D printers are also available on Amazon and are likely to have other distributors as well.

assistant: The most reliable to purchase Ender printers is Creality's official website at https://store.creality.com/. You can also look for an authorized reseller, or buy a used one on a site such as eBay or Craigslist.

assistant: You could for example try to look on markets like Amazon or ebay for suitable equipment by just seaching for the products name eg. "Ender 3 V2". Alternatively you wont even have to rely on a single website, instead just type the Products name inside of a seachengine like https://google.com/ and it will show you mostly good deals!

assistant: You could buy this 3D printer online on the internet, or you could see if your local hardware store has one.

prompter: Seems like a good deal. Is there anything else I need to get started 3D-Printing?

assistant: An essential resource is filament, which is what the print will be made out of. The most common type for beginners is PLA, which prints at relatively low temperatures and doesn't require advanced care. You might also want to buy a prearranged toolkit, usually including things like scrapers for detaching the print from the plate, cutters for removing supports, and various others.

assistant: When getting a 3D printer, it's of most importance to see the reviews and the attached images (if there are any) to see if this is what you'd expect. If you have just bought one, try printing a test print and seeing if the results match or exceed your expectations!

assistant: You can watch some YouTube tutorials about 3D-Printing. 
Well, one thing is important - always calibrate your 3D-Printer table.

prompter: And where can i buy one that is not too expensive but also from a reputable source?

assistant: The easiest recommendation would be from Amazon. But depending on your country, you should look at your local shops for potential cheaper prices and you might get it faster this way. To let me recommend better choices, let me know where you live.

assistant: You can buy them on an online seller like Amazon or Ebay. You can also buy an Ender v2 or v3 from Creality's website (the maker of the Ender)

assistant: You can buy the Ender 3 V2 or S1 at popular online shops like Amazon or eBay. I can not check for current prices at different stores, but you can use a site like price.com to do that.
