Hey everyone My sister wants to get into 3D printing. She has her birthday soon and we are thinking of gifting here a printer. What models wold you recommend?

What do you think of Bambu Lab X2D. What would you get for a beginer?

Edit: thank you all for the responses. I certainly did not expect so much engagement and such high quality answers. Will have a look at all the options you recommended. Hopefully our budget has enough room for a comparable morally righ choice.

    I personally avoid Bambu like the plage

    If you are looking for the same performance and feature set (but not a PR nightmare, and locked eco system) look at Snapmaker U1.

    If you wish to not break the bank as much, and just want something more simple and cheaper. I believe Creality still makes decent options.

    Prusa is the best, no questions. But they are also the most expensive
