Stock Ender 3 is a hassle that can be so frustrating you’d drop the hobby altogether. If you want to get it as a platform for tinkering and modding, then go ahead. If you want it as a tool, get something reliable. Even investing a little bit more upfront might save you more in the long run. A broken cheap printer doesn’t make any money after all.

And one more note: if you want to focus on minis and want a decent quality, FDM might not be the best choice.
