I am very interested in 3D printing and I want to get into it. What would be a good printer for a beginner that is also of reasonable quality.

I don't want to make anything huge but I don't want to limit myself to any size that's unreasonably small.

Edit: Wow, you guys were all so helpful. While I haven't made my decision I have a lot more to go off of, I'm gonna do a bit more research into it based on what you have all said.

Straight for the Cadillac of printers

I wonder if i should get the 4, i've had enders and am tired of the hassle. I need something reliable.

I have both a 3 and a 4. My 3 is dialed in pretty good that I trust it to just run. There is some quality of life things on the 4 that I like. The auto bed leveling is nice for swapping sheets without having to change z offset settings. For the price difference between the two I'd go with a 4.
