No. You can get a Bambu A1 mini for this price, or an Anycubic Kobra X for about $50 more. Those both come with a lot of features that make printing a lot easier. Also a warranty

This is more than enough for a good printer. If money is really an issue (like you are looking for recommendations closer to the $400 end), I would get him either of the following along with some cash to buy filament: Anycubic Kobra X, if printing in multiple colors is the most important Elegoo Cent

I own both. Facts: Print quality is similar, Kobra X multicolor is a little faster and a little more efficient. Opinions: Bambu Studio is better; Anycubic Slicer Next is what you get if you shoot Bambu Studio with a Bizarro Ray. Makerworld is much better in that it's more mature, but it's free regar

Ich kann dir den Anycubic Kobra X empfehlen, ist zwar offen, bringt aber ein Colorsystem für 4 Farben direkt mit. Habe den im Presale für 260 bekommen und bin echt zufrieden mit dem was er leistet. Gerade für Anfänger (bin ich selber) sehr intuitiv zu bedienen. Modelle von Makerworld, etc. ohne Prob

So far, honestly, my experience with the Kobra X has been very positive. I was a bit cautious at first too, mainly because Anycubic’s older reputation made me expect some headaches after the first weeks, but this machine has actually surprised me in a good way. It’s been reliable, prints consistentl

My advice is delay your purchase until you can purchase Prusa or Bambu Labs printers. AnyCubic Kobra X for a low cost printer is decent, and this could be a good option too. If you’re brand new, Bambu Labs just makes such simple printers to use that it’s hard not to suggest them.

If you were super cost cutting, I think you'd be looking at the anycubic Kobra X The creality Hi (and Spark ix) seem to be fighting for a section of the market that doesn't really exist, imo. If you have faith in the Hi, go for it, but if it gets them, it will basically be the first Creality product

Yes, more of the same from elegoo. I use to like elegoo cheap and effective was the game and sometimes you get a stinker, but now they are more stink and more cost. Who are they competing with? Look at the latest offerings, finally a multi color printer from 4 years ago and asking almost 500usd and

Flashforge sucks. Literally any other brand is worth while. Look at the Anycubic Kobra X, love mine, it’s been a fantastic printer.

The Kobra X is my third printer out of four. Since I also own the S1 Combo, the Kobra 3 and "soon" the S1M I can see how Anycubic has evolved in terms of design, improvements, firmware, and hardware. Unfortunately, there are a few users who have come forward to discuss issues with this printer, but
