Comment on Choosing my first printer is driving me mad.

Qidi and Creality both make good quality enclosed printers.
I have the Bambu A1 myself (not enclosed, but they do have the P1S which is), but I would not recommend any Bambu printers in hindsight as they are locking down their ecosystem and blocking third party software, like OrcaSlicer and I think OctoPrint too. I have my A1 set to LAN only, perpetually on firmware v4.0.0 and use Tailscale to access it remotely.

Creality has the K2 Plus which is enclosed, has its own AMS-like system (no idea how good it is though, never used it before), and is also larger than Bambu’s P1S and X1C.
Qidi has their Q2 and Plus 4, the former being newer and the latter being larger. I haven’t used any of Qidi’s printers, but I’ve heard lots of good things about them.
