Another reason for me to buy a 3d printer. Any tips on building one folks?

Buy an ender 3 if you're cheap and have plenty of tinker time. Buy something by Bambu if you have cash and want ease of use.

I'm more broke but want to get one anyway and I am between the technical and ease of use mode.

Try to go with something popular so you can find help when things inevitably go wrong. Expect to learn a lot when building. If you like that, awesome, do it. Otherwise you may want to consider a prebuilt prusa or bambu.

Ender, prusa, bambu are names that have popularity, longevity, and reputation.

You can find a ton of recommendations and best printer lists with a quick search. You would probably be fine with most printers on those lists if you wanted to save some money, but the above three are solid and give you a good budget range already.

How much money do you want to put into a setup? With $1000, you an get any of the really good printers, a different size nozzle, a few little tools, and plenty of filament.
