Does Farcaster have a 3d printer recommendation? 

Creality seems to have squandered their rep 

Prusa is out of my price range 

Bambu looks interesting, but is new enough to be unproven 

Anycubic and Elgoo seem to have goo entry-mid range offerings with the Kobra and the Neptune

What’s your price range and are you looking to learn the ins and outs or just hit print?

mechanical design engineer. 

I like to make stuff. 

Currently interested in: 3D printing, product design, hard tech, space. 

if you are ok with tinkering and spending a lot of time trial and error’ing go with some form of ender 3. Will learn a lot and save money at the cost of headaches and time. 

If you want to hit print and not worry go with a Bambu Lab P1P (also prints ~3x the speed as the others unmodified). This is my current machine

If you want a middle ground between the two look for a used mk3s+, you should be able to find one at a discount since so many have switched to Bambu. 

I would recommend going the ender 3 route if u want to save money and u can always upgrade it or get a better machine in the future.

I own all 3 of these machines and Bambu really makes life easy but glad I learned on the ender. The output of the prusa and Bambu are similar quality just big speed difference. 
I’m a big believer in small initial monetary investment with the caveat of increased time investment. You’ll learn the most.

I don't mind learning a bit, but would like to just hit print most of the time. 

Hoping to stay below $600-700.
