The ultimate printer I can recommend is the Bamboo Labs X1 carbon with AMS if you have deep pockets. ($1200). It's a massive leap forward in 3D printing, with excellent quality and impressive speeds. Its pretty much press print and go as the software and hardware do the calibration before each print. This printer will not manage the larger parts and you are going to need the CREALITY CR10 v3, which is my second choice of printer.
​

This design was primarily created with MSFS2020 in mind. The G1000 can be printed on a standard Ender 3 print bed of 220mm x 220mm. For improved quality, the buttons can be resin printed, but a filament printer will work fine too.
