I've got a Centauri Carbon 2 since early september, was a complete noob with 3d printing. Printed lots of stuff, only did the installation (with help of youtube videos) and automatic bed levelling before starting to print. Last week I had to clean the bed plate for the first time with some soap (I should probably do that more often), other than that it's hassle free.

No Bambu or Creality, seriously - get a Centuri Carbon from Elegoo. It’s the absolute best option for a newb, the price is incredible for what you get, and they just work. Bambu and Creality are both very hostile toward their users for no reason.

In my experience they’re just difficult to work with. I never had a problem with customer service because I never engaged with them, but the printers themselves are always a project instead of the project. Not a good choice for beginners who aren’t serious about learning everything, imho

I’ll throw my hat in with the Centauri Carbon. Good price point, good capabilities, won’t give you a headache every 5 minutes.
