I have a Prusa i3 MK3S+ that I built but still need to use. I like Prusa because their stuff is open source, both hardware and software, and you can buy replacement parts easily for repair. The printers are also upgradeable and have accessories, such as the multi material upgrade.
They are pricey, especially shipping and import taxes. According to the research I did to decide which 3D printer to buy, I found the Prusa printers are a good choice for beginners if you are willing to do some fiddling and can afford it.
