FLSUN delta's. I haven't been following them lately for any problems, but there are none I know about. The SR is a good starter printer and is pretty cheap now, hell I think even the V400 which has a lot of more modern amenities like Klipper and a direct drive extruder has come down significantly in price as they have come out with bigger and newer things.
My first printer was a Q5 and I still have it, it still works, and it was a fantastic platform for learning the hobby, if a little restrictive on the build volume.
After that I went full on crazy and built a RatRig vcore4 and it's awesome when it is working, but I have had to dedicate a lot more time to troubleshooting and tuning than I would have liked. I think if I had it to do over I probably would have bought one of the big deltas from FLSUN or maybe got one of the SOVOL voron-alike printers. I dunno, I'm proud that I successfully built the RatRig from a pile of parts bigger than my dining room table, but also often wonder if the fact that it was built by an idiot isn't part of why I am always having problems with it in which case, did I even successfully build it? lol
