I'm also a 3D printing noob and recently (~4mos ago) purchased a P1P.
- It's amazing.
- I'm using it for a lot more (mostly just fun, not functional) things than I had originally expected.
- The kids aren't as interested in printing stuff out as I had expected. A little interest in the beginning but now it's mostly just my thing (as expected?).
- Printing terrain models is super fun & easy. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DRiqX20-68 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DRiqX20-68)
- I wish I had just buckled down and gotten the P1S from the get-go. (mostly because of noise and just general "cleanliness"). My upgrade kit arrives tomorrow.
- As best as I can tell, anything less than the P1P/P1S (Ender3 etc) requires a lot of tweaking/tuning/fussing to get nice prints. I get amazing looking prints with little/no effort.
- Friends bought one of these ~$300 "toybox" printers and it was so bad they couldn't get it to print anything reasonable and returned it. I've printed some STL files for them without issue.

I think plenty of printers cheaper than the P1P/P1S have caught up. I like the Kingroon KP3S Pro V2 for a cheaper printer myself. Even Bambu have their A1 mini that's less than a P1P. The Ender 3 was popular for the time, but it's outdated now and is just coasting on its popularity and outdated recommendations. It's a fast moving market so it's hard to know what's new and good outside of what's popular.
