Don’t go cheap, you will only end up being disappointed with the print quality.  It’s like the difference between an old Atari and Xbox 1 graphics.

We use Anycubic and the new version works well but…

Like above I would see if you can find any of the Creality Enders in your budget they are popular with a good amount of support.

It’s worth sticking to the known brands it’s easier to get support advice etc.

Creality are big sellers and have a really good sized user base out there.

In the early stages that to me is the number one factor over print quality etc, as print quality is more about how you choose your settings than a particular brand.

Creality to me kind of hits that sweet spot (even though we haven’t used them!)

I will also suggest the ender 3. It’s a good starting printer and the price isn’t to bad. I have been able to print reasonable minis and terrain on it. I did have some issues like a dying fan after several months but it was cheap to replace.

As for resin I’m waiting for someone to get the monoprice mp mini SLA which you can find for $200Us on eBay right now. But at that price in really tempted to get one and if I had space to set it up at the moment I prob would of ordered one.

I write this to show that there are options so you don’t have to go all in on the tech-hobby side of printing.

I have a FlashForge Finder FDM. Cheap and very plug n play. It is very simple and easy to get into and operate. No tech savvy needed until the inevitable blockages need clearing or the nozzle needs to be replaced. And then there are videos on you tube showing every step. You get a simple and easy slicer program with it.

It also has very good print quality IMHO.

The biggest minus is the print bed size of 14x14cm is a bit smallish for terrain such as large houses and it only used PLA (which is the best for terrain anyhow so I don’t really count this as a negative). I also print smaller minis on this, with great results. My 3-d printed minis project https://www.beastsofwar.com/project/1356322/ are all done on this printer, and most of those are not even printed at the finest settings.
