Rather unexpectedly, a 3D printer is soon to enter my life (long story). It seems like printers are either entry-level $300-$400, or higher-end $1,000+. Is there anything worthwhile in the $750 area? This will be hobby-use only, not for business purposes or mass production. It cannot be resin for a variety of reasons, and I will not budge on this.

@Meyerweb I am no expert but if you're comfortable with purchasing a Bambu printer then I've been happy with the P1S, which has lots of the same innards as the A1 for a middling price.

It also happens to be on sale right now it seems

@Meyerweb (many people will argue against Bambu for legitimate reasons, they were tradeoffs I was willing to make for ease of operation at the time. I don't regret them yet.)
@ryan That is really good to know; thanks!
