Hi,

I just have some questions regarding 3D printing. Despite doing this for 2 years I still feel like a beginner.

Questions:

I'm looking at the Ender 5 Plus and Prusa MK3S, I've seen plenty of people say the Prusa is better because the Ender 5 Plus requires more "tinkering". I just feel that the Prusa is overpriced and don't know if I should just bite the bullet and get it or something else? I want to get back into the printing game.

I live in a trailer and my room is pretty small about 30ft x 30ft, would it be safe to use my printer in my room if all I print is PLA (I'm not talking about using it overnight either since I don't trust it). Or should I leave it in my living room?

If I was still living in a trailer, I would try to get the cheapest one I could find that works. I don’t think the fumes are all that bad for PLA. There is definitely an odor but falling asleep to the sound of the motors is worth it imo. It’s so relaxing sometimes.
