I have enjoyed my Ender 3v2 but my extruder and hot end are acting up and I am ready for a more reliable printer. I like the simplicity of Bambu but it seems to come at the cost of customization. Prusa seems to be more open and extendable, but at the cost of increased complexity. What would you recommend?
I have a Bambu P1S. I think biggest fear is the cloud stuff goes or gets hacked whereas Prusa prints straight to the machine which is less of a man in the middle problem. I can’t speak of longevity but the P1S is pretty idiot proof as a printer and I like the AMS aside from the needless pooping which is more of a firmware issue - should be a way to suppress purge poops if a person knows they’re using same filament between prints.
As for fragmentation, the X & P range are essentially the same except around the edges - the control panel, supplied nozzle, lidar, camera etc. The A seems like a weird diversion but it has been received favourably and slaughters the Prusa Mini which is getting on in years.
