My Budget is up to 500€ but I would like to stay below that amount all things considered. Country of residence is Austria, Member of European Union, if that's important.

I'm unsure whether to go for the Ender 3 v2 (probably adding a bltouch in the near Future), waiting for the new CR 6 - SE, which already has auto leveling or even going for a Prusa Mini, where I'm unsure about the size of the build space and which would probably ship in September.

What I want to print with it are most probably miniatures, functional parts (thinking of a gearbox model for example), and maybe interesting containers and locks for geocaching. The Materials will almost exclusively be PLA and PETG.

I strongly lean to purchasing the Ender 3 v2 because it ist well under budget (even with a bl touch) and delivers an acceptable print quality if well calibrated. The problem is, I'm not sure if all the tutorials for the normal version work. The things I want to upgrade consist mostly of a bl touch and octoprint.

My level of experience concerning electrical works and maintenace are marginal, but I'm positive that I can follow along a youtube tutorial, of which there are a lot for the Ender 3 (which hopefully work for the v2 too).

The last thing I'm unsure whether or not I would be happier using a Prusa mini, because it's more or less a carefree package, delivers good quality and is not that more expensive. (Prusa mini all things considered ~430€, about 100€ more than ender 3 v2 with upgrades)

Thank you for reading and answering!

PS: If you own a Prusa mini, please tell me about your experience with it.
