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?

They definitely paved the way for more affordable printers! But I feel like there are better options at the same price today.

    That very well could be, I haven't had any reason to look for anything else though so I don't know what's available now. My next purchase will be a resin printer, I do some model railroading and would like to be able to print my own figures. I've also worked on some simple car designs but so far those have printed well enough in PLA.
