So back in the early days of 3d printing (2012) had purchased a Solidoodle 3. Iused it for a few years. It sat unused due to issues had run into with it and eventually got rid of it. Since then I haven't had a printer, but I've finally convinced myself that it is time to get one again. So l'm looking for suggestions for sub-$500 printers. While wouldn't consider myself a newb, I am very rusty. I'm however not opposed to tinkering and am a huge fan of open source. What printers would people recommend? I'm personally thinking the Sovol SVO6+ but am open to other suggestions.

I do really like the Vorons and while I have no problem building one myself, it's a bit much for this go-round. When I replace (or supplement) whatever I buy this time, it'll be on the short list.
