Prusa if you want to buy something ready to go.

Voron if you want to build something from a kit.

And for a cheap starter printer the basic Ender 3 and variants are good.

If you want a printer to "just work", have an upgrade path to the next version when they come out, and don't require a cloud account, then Prusa is a good choice.

If you want open source, open schematics, and open everything, then Voron based printers are a good choice.

There's also tons of printers out there, just don't support these shady lock-in manufacturers. Let's not let 3d printing become what inkjet printing did.

Apparently it depends on your priorities.

If privacy, right of ownership and right to repair matter to you, then Bambu Lab printers ain't for you. But besides that, I hear good things about those printers.

i bought an anycubic kobra x instead of the bambu a1 combo and i miss nothing. i was told that anycubic is not as much plug and play as bambu and bambu is friendlier for beginners... but if someone doesn't understand the kobra x maybe 3d printing isn't for them anyway. yeah, you have to calibrate it, but come on, thats not actual something complicated.
