Hi folks,

I've been watching too many video reviews and just want a little bit of advice before I make my purchase. I'm wanting to get into 3d printing with the most satisfying results possible for around $600 CAD .

I'm looking at the Ender 5 S1 , currently for $599 CAD on Amazon. It does what I want , I think, it gets nice and hot (300C) , can use lots of different materials, auto levels, uses.usb and wifi, is quick and has a cube frame.

I suspect I would be quite happy with it. But before I go and pull the trigger, is there anything else around this price range , say plus or minus $100 , that would be better? If so what advice can you give? What models should I investigate.

Truth is I am not able to tinker as much as I would like, 2 kids and a busy job gets in the way. I'd rather tinker with software and design than hardware these days. I am willing to expand the budget a bit to ensure.that experience. This is twice now the P1P has come up. I'll check that and the X-smart out.
