Ok, just got back from hunting grouse. I have over thirty 3D printers that I use for production and another 12 just for play. I know @Hondasxs already said you didn't want to go with Bambu but I can't recommend them enough for the best printer right out of the box. Not only for speed and accuracy, but also just plain easy to use. Someone who has never printed before can start printing within 20 minutes or less after unboxing and running the startup sequences. I own 5 Bambu P1P's for my personal at home printing along with the 1X Carbon and AMS attachment. The Bambu slicer is also very user friendly and only take minutes to learn.
Now, I also learned on and still own Creality printers (Ender, Ender 3, Ender 3 Pro, CR10, CR10S, K1 and K1 Max). I cannot say enough good things about them. However, using these printers will force to learn maintenance procedures, troubleshooting, upgrade procedures, slicer modifications and making changes on the fly. The Ender 3 got me to where I am in my printing adventures. They are cheap and plentiful. Parts for upgrades are a dime a dozen. Also being the most sold printer worldwide (Ender), there is no shortage of knowledge within the printing community on how to get the best results along with solve issues with your prints/equipment.
Slicers are something else. Cura is free and pretty good. Creality has their own, but could use some improvement. Simplify3D is awesome but you have to buy a license for $75 but this has some really powerful tools within it. Plenty of YouTube tutorials on all of these. I am also proficient in all of them if more detailed help is needed.
I am always happy to help in any way. I am expert in Solidworks, so the 3D modeling side is where I spend most of my time and efforts. Learning "efficient" modeling is by far the hardest part you will encounter when learning 3D printing. There are an abundance of sources for models that are shared among 3D printing enthusiast that are already designed for common use/fixes/upgrades (Thingiverse.com, Printables.com, Esty, and forums). 80% of the time I don't really need to model something cause it already exist on these sites, but for the really custom things that are specific to my needs, I need to model and tolerance them myself. I have been doing additive and subtractive manufacturing for 23 years now, and almost anything you choose is pretty user friendly in these days. I would just recommend staying away from resin printers. Good luck and feel free to reach out to me with any questions.
