Hi, I am totally new to 3D printing and want to have a printer. Budget is 400€. My background is computer science and programming and I want to be able to hack the device if I want but it should work fine OOTB (or with minimal effort). Which device would you guys suggest to me?

You can get a Voron 0.2 kit from formbot for like $400 USD fyi. If I didn't already have some of the parts I need for a 0.2 I'd probably just get a kit from them. As it stands I plan on self sourcing mine at some point.

Prusa is top of the line for open source and very much falls into "works out of the box". The other bed-slinger style printers like Ender are cheap but tend to have issues and are a money-sink for upgrades to get them working (lots of mods there). If you're into hacking and modding stuff though, look into Voron printers. I'm not sure if any of the Voron versions fall into your budget, but you can buy a kit or do open-source. They're self-built, extremely fast, customizable, and really meant for the people in the printing community who like to program and mod things.
