Comment on Any recommendations for a low-cost, low-hassle printer?

The P1S by Bambu Labs, while not the cheapest (on sale now for 550$ without an ams) pretty much just works.

I’ve done PLA and PETG (various brands) using default settings and the thing just works. I’ve also used polycarbonate but that required a small amount of tweaking.

I guess it also depends on what you’re trying to print. If you are going to be printing figurines that you will paint, you might be better off getting a resin printer, though I can’t speak much to those as I haven’t used them, but we do use anycubic at work and I’ve seen some pretty good looking models come out of them.

I’ve also heard good things about the A1/A1 mini (also Bambu) from coworkers.

We probably have 30 or so 3D printers at work including a nylon powder 3D printer which is amazing but I’m not sure of the brand, and it’s probably expensive because it stands about 4.5 ft tall.
