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.

Balanced take, but Prusa is very transparent about why their pricing is the way it is, and basically the answer there is that they try to keep an EU centric and ethical supply chain.

    Which would be perfectly acceptable if they didn't market features that are half-working, half-assed, and will be delivered over 1-2 years of the product's lifetime.

    It's a bit like ST:Generations - every key component won't be delivered until Tuesday.
