Hello, I'm a total beginner in 3d printing and I want to get into 3d printing for the sake of building small engineering projects. Considering this I probably won't need a printer with alot of fine detail like for example small sized textures (I think). So would it make sense for me to just go for the cheapest one that somehow prints ok (I thought of an ender 3 or something like that) or should I spend some more money on a Presa mini (+) or a somewhat similar model. What experiences do you have with low budget printers (250€-400€) for my specific although not very unique use case? I'm very thankful for every answer I get.

As an Ender 3 S1 Pro owner, I say buy a Prusa 😅

If you need to go cheaper, look at the Sovol SV06 - it's basically a Prusa clone with surprisingly positive reviews for the price, and it's Klipperable if you decide you want a performance boost down the road.
