I want to get into 3D printing before it’s outlawed and I’ve been gravitating to Bambu because I’m novice enough that marketing works. Where should I be looking? Price is a consideration but not my first.
Comment on 3D Printer Reviewers: Being honest in this industry will put you out of a job.

Wasn’t following the guy, but I will now. Fewer and fewer people in yt 3D printing space remain that care about the ethics of the companies selling this and more and more are just bambu sponsored.

Strongly suggest not going with Bambu, they have a history of attempting to start a walled garden ecosystem the only thing that has stopped them thus far is backlash.

Look for a used Prusa.

IMO, toolchangers are the future trend in 3d printing. Snapmaker U1 is the current hype due to being relatively cheap and using open source klipper based firmware. Other than that, Prusa has a toolchanger, I would prefer them over Bambu any day. But me personally, I will either wait till U1 becomes cheaper or wait for a diy OSS solution like Voron with IDX once it comes out. But that definitely shouldn’t be anyone’s first printer.

Bambu sponsorships are a fucking plague.

Sounds like you need Morgan & Morgan
