I know a ton about PC hardware, but I've just never attempted to learn anything about 3d printing. Can anyone that's well informed in this area tell me if this is any good or not? Never heard of the brand so id assume probably not, but I know you guys can point me in the right direction. I build/sell PCs for a living and you'll often get motherboards with a missing IO shield, so that would be probably my main reason for printing anything to be honest. Any good recommendations? I'm not looking to print any sophisticated products right now, but that might change after a few prints, who knows lol. I know that Bambu Labs is a top tier brand, and I've heard of Creality, but I don't really know any brands outside of that. I would want to get the best in the $300-$500 range. Thanks ahead of time

Good deal. I've had a older Adventurer 3 and it printed perfect right out of box.

I highly recommend starting with a bambu a1 mini. It's under your price range and is probably as close to "it just works" as you can get right now. The build area is big enough for things like IO shields and such. The biggest benefit is it'll give you the opportunity to learn 3d printing and modeling (you'll inevitably want to do more than just print others' designs) without worrying about the printer being a problem or project in itself.
If down the road you find you want more you'll know exactly what that more is, but the mini will cover most everything for quite some time.

I love my a1 mini. Being able to use their app to find a print and sending from the phone app is a true joy.
