Comment on What's a good entry level printer these days?

If don’t care about open source or that you’re locked into a vendor specific slicer. The A-series from Bambu labs is a very good turn key printer.
If you care about the specifics of open source or how your print gets sent to the printer, then I suggest looking somewhere else.
Started with ender 3 v3. Constant tinkering
Got a bambu A1 year later. Won’t go back to anything creality makes ever.
A1 just works.
Replacement parts are similar prices as generic parts for the ender.
So I don’t care if it’s all proprietary. It all works. And you don’t need to deconstruct it to get it to work.
I’d also recommend the A series (I got recommended the A1 from a friend when I was starting out), and it’s been pretty great so far. As for the slicers, I know you can use OrcaSlicer with Bambu printers (as well as with a ton of others too)

Of course that’s a thing now. Yeah I would very much not like to be locked into a vendor ecosystem.
