    If you don’t mind the shit business, Bambu printers pretty much “just work”

    At least compared to any Ender

      My Ender 3 V3 (CoreXZ) has been perfect but I recommended the V3 SE to two people based on my experience but they’ve had nothing but issues 🫠

      Bambu is working hard to make the bottom panel a reality for 3d printers as well. Their closed-door approach is the main reason I won’t touch them.

        Yeah bambu needs to die in terms of marketshare. They tried to intimidate foss devs into pulling down their reverse engineered software to replace bambus garbage. Nobody should ever recommend bambu again.

      My last printer was an Ender. Lots of mods and fiddling to get it running close to consistently! I had heard that Bambu is better but I haven’t had a chance to try it myself!

        Don’t. Bambu doesn’t respect the licensing of the software they use, and they do not care about open source what so ever. They are not a positive contribution to the 3D printing space.

        I still run my Ender3, upgrading to a Prusa core one+.

        The first question everyone needs to ask about 3d printing is if you want the printer itself to be the project.
