I have the a1 and love it. Its terminally online nonsense the hate for them. Its affordable and works great. Go for it.

My sleepy brain thought that “its terminally online nonsense” literally was referring to the printer.
An apostrophe would have made that clearer in the original comment.

Oh. Just flip the switch on the back, it’s a power button. Turns it off completely. When printing it’s nice for it to be connected though so I can watch a livestream of my plate/print when I’m at the store.

AFAIK, you can’t use the printer without an internet connection unless you put it in “developer mode”, which is fucking insane.

Yeah, I don’t have to. Its a nice fun toy.

Yanno, I couldn’t tell what to get because of the toxic attitudes on 3d printer forums. Very elitist, mean, and loud bunch of people really.
I mean, how could I tell the difference between what actually sucks in real life or what was being pushed by manipulative “brand management accounts?”
So I went into best buy with a pocket of cash and picked myself. No regrets, it’s great really.

You didn’t need to explain that you were just a basic consumer with no interest in corps destroying things like privacy and ownership. Trust me, we know.

Loving the toxic attitude, super cool stuff. I bet your heart health is shit.
I have an A1 and I hate it. It’s so stupid that they are locking down on their ecosystem, and I fervantly despise that they are trying to take down that fork of OrcaSlicer (despite their own software being a fork of a fork!)
Elegoo’s Centauri Carbon has an enclosure and is CoreXY, so objectively much better value than the A1
Until it doesn’t. The nozzle of my A1 has clogged, and it is difficult to fix. The Prusa Core One is more reliable and repairable for a similar price and performance.
