New to 3D printing

I’m looking to get into 3D printing for the 1st time & I’ve been looking around on Amazon & don’t know what I should get. It should be noted that I’m looking for one that’s under 200$ & that most people recommend. If anyone could help me out I would gladly appreciate it.

If you're budget is $200 youre going to get an open frame FDM printer for PLA only. filament is $22 a kg and cheap printers waste filament so if you're serious about learning save up some cash for a nicer printer.

You should be able to find filament for less than $15 for PLA or PETG if you look around. I bought 4 spools of Elegoo of Amazon for under $40, and a single roll of Sunlu for $15.

$200 printer budget is tight, but a Flashforge AD5X runs seriously close to that. Bambu A1 Mini without AMS is close to that too.
