both the ender 3 and the sidewinder x1 have resume printing, the sidewinder has filament runout, the ender it can be added with some effort. yes, you will have issues with the ender, but that's a great way, IMO, to learn about printers and printing. the sidewinder x1 will have you printing almost right away with very little maintenance

I wouldn't personally bother with a filament run out sensor.
In over 6 years with 5 printers I have never run out of filament.
The slicer tells you how much filament you will use, just make sure you have enough - job done.
And yes the ender 3 is that bad.

Thought I would add my opinion, It is true in the 3 years that I have had my 3D Printers I have also never run out of filament.
However have had the filament break during the printing of a model for what ever reason the filament broke. Initially this was the reason adding this simple run-out switch to determine if the filament had run-out or broke was added to my 3D Printers...
Though if you have a few rolls of almost empty filament you could print multicolored models to use up these filament rolls effectively.

well if I was going for a big cheap i3 - the adimlab gantry pro 3d.
https://www.amazon.com/ADIMLab-Assem...s%2C311&sr=8-5
It's the only one I know of that has all the critical prusa I3 design components.
1) direct drive extruder
2) bed side support rails
3) dual z-axis motors
Personally those are the main points I loook for in an i3.

ADIMLab Updated Gantry Pro 3D Printer
As I look around an see that most of the 3D Printers with a large print area are all going to a single Y-Axis monorail support.
Y-Axis monorail support have a lot to be desired causing more problems than are worth, will be agreeing with curious aardvark choice.
