I think the typical recommendation would be "the 100" (Link to GitHub). There are a few other projects like it. I think that should be a good starting point for a search though if that particular one is not your cup of tea.

We're in the age of easily accessible, great quality hardware though. Just from a performance point, 3d printing will be worse in most respects comparatively (still "good enough" though if using a modem design). Look at a Voron V0 kit as an example (or one of the other printers for ants, if you're looking for more complexity). Uses nothing but readily accessible parts, reasonably priced and incredible performance.
