3d printer recommendations (lemmy.ca)

I'm just getting into 3d printing and I'm looking for some recommendations. My budget is $400 and I've narrowed it down to the sv06+ or the Ender-3 V3. I like that the print size is bigger on the sv06+ but all reviews point to the Ender, do you guys have any recommendations for me?

Also maybe the bambu a1? Or a1 mini? I don't like that the firmware isn't open source though.

I'm OK tinkering but just want some insight.

Thanks!

I have an Ender 3, Ender 3 v2, CR10s Pro v2, and a Bambu P1S.

I would recommend going with the Bambu a1 without hesitation. My Bambu is far and away the best printer I own and it's not close. They just work, and though I'm a techy guy and enjoy tinkering, I got really tired of needing to fix things on my non-Bambu printers.
