Comment on What 3D printer should I buy?
SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 3 weeks agoI would advise to not pre order any printer from any company. Creality in particular has a history of promising specs they never actually deliver. Software is going to be important.
I had several Creality printers in the past, they were all 80% solutions. I also manage a large university print farm and am not a fan of Prusa. The biggest problem in the consumer industry is too many models with very short sales lifespans because buyers want gimmicks.
There are several patents expired to affect consumer printers, including tool changers and heated print chambers, essential for engineering grade plastics.
Lastly, Bambu established that the YouTube review process is corruptible, so wait for real world feedback from real people, not infomercials disguised as reviews. Those channels are windsocks, after a year of hyping Bambu they all now slam it to regain “credibility”.
