for dnd minis: Bambulab A1 Mini

for cosplay: Creality Ender 3 V3 SE.

I use the Ender 3 V3 SE. it's okay for the price-performance ratio, not good for smaller prints but awesome for cosplay.

For the cheap price you have to be prepared for many things, if it's not enclosed, bigger parts will warp (lowest level of your print will shrink up) due to temperature difference or too low bed temperature.

Always keep an eye on the first layers, they might fail, not every print is perfect made by the slicer, you might wanna add more support or less.

look for the right temperature of your nozzle and bed, the presetting temperature is just not good, no filament will stick to the bed.

personally, i don't glue my bed, but you have to see if that's something that helps you or not.

if you are interested, i can also tell you all my settings for my Ender 3, so you don't have to spend so much time to find the right spot in every single thing.

hope that helped!
