So my budget is $5,000.00

Hi;
Most filament 3D printers range anywhere from $400 to $1000 these days, I have no preferenc
e in manufactu
rer, but Ebay or Amazon is a good place to begin your search for these. Power printers on the other hand, cost way more should you want to go that route. Good luck, have fun.
Cheers

I have an Ender 3 Pro in our winter house, it's a good starter printer that will run you between $200 and $300 US. They have a newer version, called the not very creative V2, that's added some tweaks and looks worth the small price increase, I just upgraded mine to the latest 32 bit controlle
r used in the V2, which has the additiona
l advantage that the cooling fans are the only sounds coming from the machine.
The Prusa i3 MK3S+, at $750US would be my choice for a higher end hobby printer. Drifting into suggests you're not looking for a professio
nal productio
n machine, either of these, imho, are a good way to become familiar with hobby level 3D printing.
