Your criteria are quite sensible – a substantial print bed, user-friendly setup, budget-friendly, and from a reputable brand. I faced a similar dilemma when choosing mine. I ended up going with the [Brand X Model Y] and it's been a game-changer. It met most of my requirements and came with good customer support. However, I did find the initial calibration a bit finicky. I hope you find the perfect printer that suits your needs! Keep exploring and researching – it's worth it in the end. Good luck!
