+1 from me. I bought a few months ago as first printer and total beginner. Love it. But if the choice is just between the centauri and qidi, what are the must haves that would differentiate the buying @CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world ? Check also info on the support on the region you are located in. Check their webpages for how errors in printers are solved etc, how open they are in terms of connections , cloud independence and slicers!

I can’t recommend the Snapmaker U1 enough. Incredible prints, fast, doesn’t waste filament and with the lid has full filtering and can do high temp materials as well

I’ve already used those thoughts to get my choices down to 2 printers. So, now it gets to be more about user experiences with each machine.
But your reminders of what to think about is great. And the fact that you like your machine even as a beginner is what I want to know.

I had it BIQU and an Anycubic, and both developed issues. So far my U1 is just printing like a beast with no issues at all.

I have an Anycubic Kobra 3 max as well and I concur, it’s got the worst extruder design ever. If I don’t use the highest of quality filament it clogs like a toilet at Taco Bell.
