3D printer advice?

I'm looking into getting a 3d printer for my son this Christmas (which means getting one for both of us). I have no idea what to look for, and don't want to spend more than a few hundred dollars. I'd like to be able to make little parts for whatever project I have going on.

Any advice?

I was just looking at this: https://www.creality3dofficial.com/p...-v2-3d-printer
Is it any good?

You'll need to specify parameters to get better idea which printer would be best for your needs:
  • What Do You Want to Print?
  • What Size Objects Do You Want to Print?
  • What Materials Do You Want to Print With?
  • How High of a Resolution Do You Need?
  • Do You Want to Print in Multiple Colors?
  • What Surface Should You Build On?
  • Do You Need a Closed Frame?
  • How Do You Want to Connect to the Printer?
  • What Software Do You Need?

Now I realize I know nothing. I think I was looking for a jack of all trades. Something my son could play with, yet something I could make plastic parts out of.... but I realize this may be too general of a description, and I don't know what I don't know.

I ended up getting him the Ender5 on a BF sale. I hope he likes it!

I’ve been 3D printing since 2017 and I can’t even recall how many I have amassed since then. Too many.

I started with a Creality CR-10 and quickly added a couple Ender 3 units and a Flashforge Dreamer. Even more now. I will say that anyone who doesn’t want to spend a lot more time troubleshooting than printing may want to consider a Prusa.
