Do you have any tips and suggestions for me about good printers?

Know what you want to print in the first place. A lot of people go for FDM, but if what you want is high details at very small scales, like miniatures for games, action figures, and overall much lower maintenance, you'll want a resin printer instead. Anything from Elegoo or Creality should be good enough.
