If you are willing to spend the money, I would highly recommend a Prusa. The quality of service and support alone is worth the extra money. If the cost of a Prusa bothers you, I would point you at Qidi as a more budget friendly brand. If I was starting over and looking to buy my first printer, I would be looking at the Core One or the Qidi Plus 4. And Qidi is set to release their own AMS called the Qidi box for the Plus 4 here shortly.
Edit to add: There is nothing to fear from Klipper. MainSail is easy to pickup and use.
Isn’t prusa the company that did a 180 this year and started to enshitify their firmware? I remember some open source 3d printer co deciding to fuck over their fan bases good will this year and I thought it was them?
No that is BambuLab
Ah, thanks
Klipper is a game changer for speed and print quality once you get past the intial setup learning curve - it basically gave my old ender a new life before I upgraded.
