    genuine prusa kit is a good buy.
    And there is a benefit to puttin together a GOOD kit.
    It should work
    and you'll have an idea how to fix or change things.
    I - personally - would not recommend a dirt cheap machine for a first time user. Generally you need a good working machine to make parts for the cheap ones :-)
    And the cheap one won't work, right away and will usually require modification.

    So other things to look at, I'll skip the nes with small print volumes:
    Qidi x pro - not the largest print volume, but a solid machine with great support and zero build required - also has dual extruders:https://www.amazon.com/Function-Extr...strial&sr=1-28

    On the I3 front there are a LOT of crappy designs out there.
    The sovol 2v01 is getting some good reviews and it looks klike they've actually thought about it: https://www.amazon.com/Sovol-Pre-Ass...ustrial&sr=1-1
    Support is good. They're a small company and still care about their machines and customers.

    This is also along similiar lines: https://www.amazon.com/ADIMLab-Assem...ateway&sr=8-20

    Were you to thrwo another $300 at your max budget, we'd come into some serious machines :-)





    There are some good machines around, that

    curious aardvark,I appreciate the tips. Clone copies do tend to be bragging about originals designs but, I would tend to stick with original and not risk a copy. Where would that extra $300 take me?Thank you,Regis
