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?

For your use it should be pretty safe then. As for Creality, the couple of printers I've worked with from them are an absolute nightmare (but in their defense it looks like they were discontinued the moment they came out). I have the impression that the only positive comments you get about Creality printers are from people who haven't owned anything else, and joined this "tinkering" circlejerk. They're unpredictable at best and an electrical hazard at worst.

I recommend reading this reddit post and the other (first) post linked there: https://web.archive.org/web/20230119045038/https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/comments/w7o1pa/stop_recommending_creality_machines_blindly/
