Comment on Back with an update on my previous posts

I’ve gone back and forth on Creality. I had a first-gen, non-pro Ender 3 that I got new for like $230. I spent so much time trying to get it to work that I feel like I could build an entire printer from scratch at this point, firmware included. That experience was valuable, though, and it made me really appreciate the performance of my CR10 v3 when I got that. Sure, it’s slow compared to modern printers, but it’s huge and takes standard parts for literally everything. Plus, I’ve only had it fail maybe 4 times in the 3 years I used it. Moving to a P1S was a great choice for me at the time, but now that Bambu has gone full Orwell, I’m looking for another alternative for my next machine. Hell, I’m considering going back to my CR10 in the meantime just to keep the prying eyes away from my prints.

I could not be more serious about the Centauri Carbon. Bambuu was never an option for me because again, user-hostility, but I haven’t heard anything terrible about Elegoo yet. The fact that they came through with the CANVAS at that price point is bananas to me, honestly.
