I’ve been wanting to get a 3d printer for a while and now I’m starting to finally look at getting one. It seems like in general though finding clear reviews and knowledge on printers is much harder than other things but maybe that’s because I’m not in the hobby yet. Bambu is a no from me but I’m open to other options. I was kinda looking at he centauri carbon but I’ve heard it’s pretty loud and I live in a small apartment. The Prusa Core One seems like a decent option but it’s all quite expensive so I don’t wanna save up for that unless it really is the best option and there’s nothing reasonable cheaper. What’s everyone’s thoughts? Absolute max budget is $1k but I would strongly prefer to spend something ~$500 or less
Given the speed and complete change in designs from year to year I don’t think there is any correlation between brands and reliability.
There are many complaints about the expensive Bambu H2D whereas everyone says the P1s is perfect.
I expect the Snapmaker to have problems given its complexity. But 4 print heads for $800 is worth some hassle.
