There are many good printers for beginner. Just choose one DIY FDM i3 with PLA filaments on Amazon or Aliexpress and wait for 2-5 days to get your first printing machine. Basic package is about $200. Maybe you could buy more materials at $300 in all.
Honestly, you will spend more on a cheap printer. Buy once, cry once. A lot of i3 clones are also dangerous with very sketchy electronics.
you are right . but I did not spoke of cheap printers
I spoke e.g. of a ultimaker . you can by each part of a spare part separately this save resources
makerbot does not save any resources because of not selling any spare parts separately.
thats is a reason not to buy any further makerbot
