Entry level or mid range, I don't want to break the bank as it probably won't get used much but I don't want to get straight trash either. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Not discounted currently (I'm not convinced BF/CM aren't all fake), but I recently got a Sovol SV06 for ~$209 from Amazon and had seen it at that price for several months, so it'll probably come back down again.

I had one minor issue but the troubleshooting video on the Amazon page showed me how to fix it, and it's been printing like a champ with no issues so far. FDM printer (i.e., not resin) with an all metal hotend so it can handle more exotic/stronger filament types. The auto bed leveling is also super great, most Enders don't come with that and from what I've heard bed leveling is a bitch.

Also it's been my only 3D printer ever so I don't have much of a reference point except the ones we had in university that were almost always broken. (Or at the least unlevel)
