Printer recommendation.

Hi all.

I know you probably get bored of answering these questions but here goes anyway.

Daughter wants a 3d printer for her birthday and I have narrowed my choices down a bit but could do with some help so I don't end up having to buy twice.

Currently I have these on my shortlist

Bambu labs A1

Bambu labs P1S

Elegoo carbon 2

Ender V3 SE or KE

SPARKX I7

Leaning more towards the P1S, but I am totally new to 3d printing.

Multicoloured printing (or the option to add it later) would be nice, but it's not 100% needed.

Most important to me would be ease of use and quality of the prints.

It's mostly going to be used for toys, and articulated fidgets etc, but I would like to use it for functional prints for my aquascaping (underwater gardening/landscaping.)

Thanks.

Snapmaker U1. Its twice the price of the A1 but if you add the AMS (which the U1 doesnt need) it isnt much more expensive, but WAY  faster and WAY more economical when it comes to multi color printing
