I have narrowed down to a few printers as my first printer to step into the 2A 3d printing world Creality k1 speedy (the newer release) or elegoo Centauri carbon or the ad5m pro.

K1303$ Elegoo-299$ (pre order) Ad5m pro350$

I don’t really plan on printing “hundreds” of frames and items I really want to make a reliable dd19.2 in pla+ or make something stronger like cf pa12 and I might make a dd26 down the line or explore out with attachments like mags and grips and etc I heard the qidi q1 pro is good but it’s also closer to the 500$ plus range. Every printer has its pros and cons I just want something that will help me learn through the process and not get frustrated from lack of info online (elegoo from being recently new and hard to get parts) or just random errors I saw the k1 have. So which would be my best bet if someone has printed 2A related things on those printers I would like to know what you made and how reliable it has been.
