Hi and welcome! Do you have a budget and a rough idea of the kinds of things you'd be looking to print?
Naively, I'd second the core one recommendation, assuming that the price tag isn't a problem and that you aren't looking to print multi-color (it's still possible on that machine, just not something that comes stock).
I think that multi colour isn't a huge deal.
Initially I'd be printing things like organisers.
My wife wants to build interesting art. Like eye ball phone holders or other fun stuff.
