Prices can vary wildly depending on how simple or advanced you go. A classic, tried-and-true Ender 3 can be found for $100 in some places, and something like a Bambu X1 Carbon can go for $1,400.
If you're just starting out and don't want to invest most of your free time to tweaking and maintaining a bare ones printer, look into something like the Bambu P1P. Not top end, definitely not low end, and does a lot of the tedium for you so you can go right into enjoying 3D printing.
Oh wow! I wasn't expecting them to go as cheap as $100. I'm definitely getting one then, thanks!
Just be aware that these $100 printers are great if you want a HOBBY.
If all you want out of a 3d printer is a tool to print things, plan to spend more.
The cheap ones need a lot of time tinkering and you'll easily spend more time printing parts for the printer than printing anything else.
