I7

It was the best entry-level standard sized bed slinger for a very long time. It’s still one of the best, but it has some decent competition now, like the Anycubic Kobra X and the Creality SparkX i7

Neither Bambulab are assholes. Buy a sparkx i7 are an anycunic cobra x they are better and cheaper

I've printed PLA, PETG, and TPU since day one, mostly using stock profiles. No major failures, no endless twe

Kobra X's major speed advantages come from multi-color prints specifically, its time to switch filament is way less and said switch produces less waste So yeah... If you have a single colour print you obviously won't see those time savings. It sounds to me like you only read a few youtube titles and

There's a deal on eBay from creality, for a SPARKX i7 Nano Combo 3D Printer w/ 4x 1kg Hyper PLA RFID Filament. For $299, after a promo code. About the same tier as a Bambu A1. The A1 Mini(not the same as A1) is cheaper but also a smaller print bed. Flashforge AD5X can also be found for ~$215.
