Don’t get an ender unless you want your hobby to be working on the printer. That’s fine, but it’s not the same as having something ready to go when you unbox it.

Prusa printers are quality and open source; very much worth supporting if you have the money. Your hobby will be printing things for other things if you get one.

Bambu printers are cheap, but not open source. However, you will spend most of your time actually making stuff instead of fixing the printer.

Cheap, reliable, open source/modifiable. Pick two.

Personally I would get a Prusa. I want to own my stuff. I have an elegoo neptune which is also easy to repair and cheaper. Eventually, I hope to get a prusa.
