The verdict
Buy the KP3S Pro V2.
The KLP1 scores higher but is discontinued. Underrated. $159 with linear rails and direct drive is a spec sheet that should cost twice as much. The 200mm volume is the real limitation, not the hardware quality.

- +Linear rails at $159 is genuinely unusual: this feature normally costs $300+
- +Direct drive handles TPU without the feeding nightmares of a Bowden setup

Buy these with it
A printer does nothing without these. Grab them in the same order.
- ELEGOO PLA filament, 1kgThe easy filament to start on. Prints at low temperatures and warps less.
- ELEGOO PETG filament, 1kgTougher and more heat tolerant than PLA, for parts that get handled or sit in the sun.
- SUNLU filament dryer S1 PlusWet filament causes stringing and rough surfaces. A dryer fixes that before you blame the printer.
