    Looking in to getting a 3D printer, never owned one or have any idea on how to use one. What do you guys recommend for a beginner printer?

    OME Nitrocharger/2612 (front), Bilstein 5100s (rear). Vanguard roll bar modified (by me) to fit over Patriot Stealth retractable tonneau. Aftermarket halo headlights with HID, various LED bulb replacements. 17" Fuel Blitz wheels with some 33" Nitto terra grapplers. Hoodscoop, nfab nerfbars, Bushwacker flares. No-name aftermarket grille, led fender extensions. Black Horse bambi-basher. Various offroad lights.
    Lots of options, I've got an Ender. Cheap, easy to assemble, lots of mods available and fairly common beginner printer. Might check youtube, this is a field that doesn't stay still long, always some newer neater thingamajig.

    Ender 3 or whatever the latest iteration is. If you want to get into designing your own parts, Fusion 360 is (or used to be) free to hobbyists and does full CAD and you can export to the printer. Otherwise thingyverse has a bunch of shit among other sites.

    Ender if you are ok a budget and ready to tinker
    Prusa if you have a little deeper pockets and don't want to upgrade or tinker
