i am a total newbie to 3d printing, and i am looking into getting my first printer. i have been searching or a few weeks about which one to buy, and i have a budget of 440 US dollars. i noticed that a lot of the i3 kits have a decent print area (which is important to me), whereas the assembled ones that are within my budget like the printrbot play have too small of a print area for me. the original i3 is too expensive for me. the features i would really need would be automated bed leveling and a heated bed, and i would like something with a reliable extruder and hotend with dual extruders perferred.
so does anyone have an recommendations for what to buy, i could put a kit together, as long as it has decent instructions and doesn’t require a whole ton of tweaking to get it functioning well once its built.

I have a Reprapguru Prusa i3 clone, and I’ve been happy with it. Their customer service is great also.
