CORE One+

This is a Prusa group so you are likely to get some biased responses. For what it's worth, I choose to go Prusa over Bambu because I like how Prusa has remained open source. Bambu has recently made moves to close in their ecosystem which was a concerning direction. One of my first 3D printers was ve

Hi, so although Josef signs my paychecks, I did purchase a Bambu A1, and X1C before I replaced them with Prusa, and then subsequently applied to work for big orange a little over a year later. My biggest problem with the Bambu system, is that the right way to use a Bambu is the way that Bambu decide

The business ethics, generally open platform, and repairability will keep me in the Prusa ecosystem unless they pull some shenanigans (boy, that would be sad). I’ve had MK3’s through the Core One. I’ve always had other printers as well, and those Prusa were the only ones that just kept chugging alon

If you care about data security, opensorce, and want livetime upgradebility for your printer that is ALWAYS for ever repareable by yourself. And also want a free 24/7 live chat support. And its okay for you to spend more mony than defently a Prusa. May be be a core one + If you want a ceep and good

Prusa. I got Core One + and it's an amazing machine. Open source, easy to mod, many mods on Printables. Avoid Bambu, they restrict their system more and more, sue people who create a free software, force you to connect to Chinese servers and abandon new models quickly to make you buy a new printer a

Rest of the market has caught up pretty well, too. Bambu is not the only printer that's easier to use than a clapped out ender 3 anymore. My next will likely be a Elegoo. I know prusa is the darling and the core one+ looks sick. But I print a ton of CF nylon and the elegoo gets me open source + acti

As far as Prusa goes (since we're in this subreddit), I think their most beginner friendly system is the regular Core One+. That should be able to get you prototyping as fast as possible with the least headaches. Lots of documentation and Prusa support can help you out with most problems. You could

I have basically the line up of the Prusa printers since the Mk3s, with 7 total currently. The CoreOnes just work, maybe have to tune the belts and square it up but that's about it. I've never had an issue with support but not something I've had to use much. Coming from an IT and tinkerer background

Buy a Snapmaker U1, be happy with it and enjoy. Buy a Prusa Core One+/IDNX/L, kit or pre-built, be happy with it and enjoy. Then have the confidence of support 24/7 should you ever need it. Even if you decide to mod it. Have a potential upgrade path (though uncertain for C1 models currently) and the

Instead off a P2S, consider a X2D. Even if you're never using the 2nd extruder, it's upgrades are worth the price increase, active chamber heater and 1.5mm drive belts are great to have. Bambu does have a closed ecosystem, which as of yet doesn't have any severe consequences (you can still use Orca
