A question regarding the picking of a printer that fits my use case. - eviltoast

Hello, I’m a total beginner in 3d printing and I want to get into 3d printing for the sake of building small engineering projects. Considering this I probably won’t need a printer with alot of fine detail like for example small sized textures (I think). So would it make sense for me to just go for the cheapest one that somehow prints ok (I thought of an ender 3 or something like that) or should I spend some more money on a Presa mini (+) or a somewhat similar model. What experiences do you have with low budget printers (250€-400€) for my specific although not very unique use case? I’m very thankful for every answer I get.

    Also if you got it in 2019 it’s likely from before Creality dropped their quality assurance. Back in those days they used high quality components, like genuine Meanwell power supplies, which were later replaced with cheaper noname parts.
