They’re not bad machines, per se, but the company’s been pushing the shitty practices in an apparent rush to compete with a shrinking barrier to entry and attempting to create a sub-market for “elite” hobbyist machines (in size only) without increasing the quality of parts but certainly upcharging on them… I currently have 8 Elegoo printers (2 Mini 4Ks, 4 Saturn 8Ks, and 2 Jupiters) as both Phrozen and Anycubic are notably worse in a number of ways.
All this aside, I recommend you look at established brands in the FDM space that are less likely to be making a cash grab outside their comfort zone.

Hm, I have had an entirely different experience. Phrozen has been by far the best and most reliable printer I have ever owned, and I’ve had 6 different brands of FDM and resin over the years… the Phrozen resin printer is still going after 2 years of printing almost daily and I never have to mess with it, it just prints perfectly every time, assuming I don’t cock up the supports.
