I have Prusa I3 MK3S+s at work that are great, but I just bought a Sovol SV06 for home use. I got it for $229. It was $200 during prime days. Auto bed-leveling. Prints well out of the box after short, easy assembly. Far, far less troubleshooting than my old Ender 3 V2. It comes with a branded Cura slicer, but I use Prusaslicer instead. I'm recommending the SV06 to the makers that come into my makerspace if they want to get into 3D printing at a low price point and not have the headaches of older machines that lack the more modern features.
I wanted to get a Sovol S6, and I nearly did, but I decided to splurge on a Creality K1.
The K1 put out amazing prints for a week, then it started throwing an error (key:2507 not heating as expected) and I'm having to jump through the hoops with Creality tech support so I can get the parts to fix it.
I could have almost bought two Sovol S6's instead.
