Best options for entry level 3D printing available these days? - sh.itjust.works

I’ve had access to a roommate’s 3D printer, but they’ll be moving away soon :( Wondering if people have takes on machines that are considered entry level today but may have evolved handy features since, well, when you were an entry level user. If this isn’t the right place for this please be nice I’m sorry

Like others said, depends what is your budget. If I was buying a printer now I would consider Bambu lab P1S or Sovol SV08.

I’ve never been a fan of propertary printers but friend of mine got bambu lab p1s and that thing is a beast. Idk how good SV08 is, but its actually cheap Voron v2.4 so deffo promising

Bambu came out of nowhere that’s for sure. I sold my Prusa for an X1C with AMS. I am hoping Prusa makes a come back I will even spend a little bit more for them just to have the open source and all around good company

Yeah I hope as well, but I don’t think that will happen honestly. The thing is about low price of bambu (and other chinese brands)…it’s just too cheap IMO. Self sourcing parts would cost much more and on top of that bambu comes assembled and tuned. I know many people nowdays think 1k printer is expensive, but it just makes no sense having smartphone prices in the same range as 3D printers (with touch screen, wifi, camera,…). Just my 2c
