A Bambulab A1 Mini costs 200 bucks and churns out incredible prints with zero hassle. There's literally next to no barrier to entry anymore.

Isn’t that the company that requires subscriptions to use your own printer?

Yes, they had really great printers, but they enshittified so much since then.

They try to cover it by tons of marketing and sponsorships, but the community doesn't forget.

Huh... I watched a basic review on it and that seems somewhat intriguing. It looked faster than expected, decent basic features, and he says parts availability is good. I may have to put this on the wishlist... Thanks for the tip!
