I have found a creality ender 3 pro on facebook marketplace for $75, would this be a good 3d printer at a good price for my first time?
I probably wouldn’t be printing too often, but I have a number of ideas for things that I’d like to try making.

As others have said, the printer you should get depends on what you want to do with it. If you want to spend the time and money to mod the ever loving shit out of a printer like I have, an ender 3 is great. If you want to just set it up and start printing, something from either prusa or bambulab will be the way to go, but a word of warning about bambu, they seem to be laying the groundwork to close off their ecosystem as much as possible à la apple, so I won’t be surprised if one day it gets to the point you can’t even use non bambu branded filament on their printers without hacking them.
If you do go with an ender though, I will say before you even get into using it, swap out the hot end with an all metal one. The stock one that butts the ptfe tube to the nozzle was an absolute soul sucking nightmare for me!
