I recommend buying a used/refurbished model from eBay or some other outlet. I picked up a Anycubic Vyper for $200 four years ago and even though its an older model they are easy to use, self leveling and later you can upgrade pretty much everything on it including the firmware (using Community). I liked it so much I bought a second one and was able to get a replacement motherboard from Anycubic for $40. There are other printers out there like the Ender or a Bambu you can find on eBay too. Just make sure the seller has a strong reputation and good reviews.
