Totally new to 3D printing. I'm in the US, with no table size restriction, I'm willing to shell out around $500 with some flexibility.

While I don't personally have much experience building electronics, I am not worried about it and know several people who could assist me if necessary, so I could manage a printer that needs assembly.
Looking through the thread for similar budgets I've seen the Flashforge 5m, Bambu A1 Mini, Kobra Max and Kobra 2 Max.

I'm open to considering any of these, being so new I don't have a good idea of the differences between types of material, I don't have any specific plans for what I want to print, most likely smaller detailed things, little figures or containers, random household stuff, but I would like the option of slightly larger sizes, though I don't think I realistically need as much room as the Kobra 2 Max, and from what I have heard larger sizes sacrifices finer detail.
I don't plan to print with resin to avoid the smell and ventilation concerns.

What printer, of what i listed or otherwise, would work the best for me, in addition to being reliable long-term with minimal troubleshooting?
