At this point, if you get an Ender 6, Manta E3EZ+ CB1 EZ2209 drivers, I've got you on my config and setup instructions. Otherwise, I would stick to a printer like the Bamboo X1 that does all of the slamming your head against your printer for you.

Personally I have a Prusa Mk3s+. I'm not a hater or a fan boy. There are definitely things I don't like about it and they are expensive, but the thing I think most people like about them is that they just sort of work. This is very valuable, especially when you're just starting out.

But what I really came here to say is that to 3d print, you need to do more than just buy a printer. Don't forget, unless you just want to print doohickies you find on the net, you also have to learn how to use 3d graphics programs. The most common is probably fusion360. It's free for hobbieists but there are some drawbacks. There is easily as much to be learned about this drafting as there is about the printer. There is also another free program called FreeCad. The learning curve for both of these is a bit steep to get proficient, but not too bad to get started.

You also need to learn about the filaments. When I printed something using PLA, the default material often provided with the machine, my dimensions were spot-on. Unfortunately, most of what I wanted to print either was used on a car or needed to be transported in a car. I live in a hot environment and PLA simply won't stand up to those temperatures. So I started printing with ASA and regrettably this is difficult to print with and my dimensions are always a bit iffy. This material and many others require an enclosure to print, something else to consider. You also might need a way to dry your filament and keep your filament dry.

I'm not trying to discourage you. All of these things can be overcome. I just wanted to inform you.

If you go onto YouTube and watch some videos, you can get a lot more info. I recommend the following:

Get a Prusa but maybe not the mini unless you can't expand your budget or very tight on space. Some of the big limitations of 3D printing is size and speed. You claim to not care about speed, but trust me, you will. In terms of size, a smaller print volume really limits what can be printed. Some will claim that it's no big deal because you can glue pieces together and that is partially accurate, but at some point you're just going to want to print something in one piece and not have to endlessly assemble it from many small pieces. If you have the space and budget get the larger Prusa model.

Check out any of the Ender 3 series of printers. They print good out of the box and can print even better with some light modification. The community is large if you ever need help and spare parts are easy to get.

Do note that there are two things to consider: do you want 3D printing to be a hobby, or a 3D printer?

The former points you toward things like Prusa, who has an excellent track record on reliability and being a work horse. They give support if need be and just high quality.

The latter means things like Ender 3 etc. They have perhaps a larger user base and lots of places to find info on what upgrades to do, and how to get most out of the machine. But they might not perform as worry free as the other kind. It is not that they won't give you a beautiful print, it is more that they are more prone to problems and can be lacking in certain aspects, hence, problems / necessary upgrades are most likely expected at some point.

The former is roughly speaking 2-3x as expensive as the latter kind, assuming similar print space.
