Ender 3 S1 is a good start.
Cheap, includes all the basic upgrades people recommend (auto bed leveling, direct drive extruder, dual z motor).
Takes about 30 minutes to set up and do a few calibrations to get printing out of the box.
I know there's amazing new types of printers out there, but this one has never ever let me down lol. Don't know what it is but I get constant results with this ender.
What's a good model for a person who knows nothing about 3D printing or what to do?

I want to print stuff in Diablo characters. Does anyone recommend a good printer for beginners to print stuff like this? Thank you
If you are wanting to do miniatures or fine detail models, SLA printers with resin is where it is at. But understand it's a lot more complicated and toxic than standard filament printers.

I second that. With mine I added glass bed and "professional firmware". At first the leveling wheels kept falling off. I found out that they were supposed to be first tightened all the way, then loosened a bit, then leveled. After that I don't level unless I clean the bed surface that had a lot of glue buildup.

A lot of people will tell you Ender 3, but for me, tbh, I got up and running much quicker with a Mars 2 Pro. You have a lot less mechanical setup, but dealing with resin is a lot worse than PLA. It wasn't very bad for me, since I have a garage and lots of sun.
What type of printer would i need if i want to print things i can use on the farm such as electric fence insulators for example.
Desynergy had a great response, I'd just add that pretty much any printer can print small functional objects. Your lowest $/kg is usually PLA for an FDM printer like these.
I'd agree if it comfortably in your price range. If not, A Ender 3 S1 is a great budget starting point to get into the hobby. The community support for Enders are second to none.
