Fucking Bambu turned a good slicer into the fucking worst slicer I’ve used.
Comment on Choosing my first printer is driving me mad.

I’m going to throw the Prusa Core One into the ring:
The first thing you will probably notice compared to something like Bambu Labs printers is the price. Yes, it’s high. However, Prusa is doing a lot more than just building 3D Printers, they are also developing the slicer software PrusaSlicer which many, including Bambu Labs Slicer, are based on and make it available for free to anyone. Also, their customer support is top of the line.
Don’t let the fact that you assemble the printer from the ground up let you scare away. I am not exactly a precision engineer myself and got everything working flawlessly on my first try.

I had to put my Prusa i3 mk3s+ in storage for about a year when I was looking for a bigger place. I tucked it under the couch’s cushions when I moved from the east coast to the Rockies, and literally only had to blow the dust off the build plate before I was able to print again.
I can’t imagine most other printers going through that without needing at least a recalibration or leveling.
That reason alone will have me strongly considering Prusa when looking for my next printer.
