Lots of Bamu fanboys in here, and don’t get me wrong, those print with minimal hassle and have great customer service, but you are selling your soul, always on internet connection, bambu account required, every print you ever try sent to the cloud.

I recently got a creality K1, refurbished, super cheap, awesome machine, zero tinkering. and creality just gives me root access at the click of a single button so I actually own the hardware.

Before that I had a super cheap no-name bedslinger with no auto-anything, and taking that apart multiple times a week was terrible but also very educational to actually understand the hobby

Don’t believe the marketing, there are viable options.
