I’m thinking of entering this world for the first time, and I was wondering if there are any models that you feel you would particularly recommend, thanks to anyone who would like to share their experience!

A1 bambu
I originally had a enderr 3 v3
I will say I learned how to replace virtually every part and how to make custom parts to fix design flaws
But no. I would not recommend it.
I got the A1 bambu. It just works.
You can also use it with AMS. Which is a 4 color multicolor system (optional).
Has wifi. No need to deal with getting cards and card readers and all that. There is also an app that you can monitor your print from. With video.
If you are printing a bunch of parts and one messes up, you can cancel that specific part and the rest of the print will continue.
This kind of thing is really awesome actually.
The slicer software is user friendly. (The software you use to prepare the print file,).
It has this whole thing where you can create projects with multiple plates. Didn’t know how awesome this was until I started using it. It’s so convenient.
The replacement parts are cheap. So far I haven’t needed any but I bought a few nozzles and a fan when I ordered mine just in case. Since I figured all printers were like my ender and needed things replaced regularly.
Honestly can’t say enough good things.
If you broke. The A1 mini is about $200.
It’s just as good as the A1. Same features just smaller print bed.
I bought one for my nephew and niece. They are kids and have learned how to use it.
No way could they use the ender without my help on every print.
Cause it seems to always have some problem.
Here is how you can verify what I have said. Go to reddit r/ender3v3 and r/bambulab
See which one has constant posts about big problems.
The slicer software is the same as Prusa/Orca Slicer. (It’s a fork of Prusa and Orca is a fork of Bambu slicer) You can use either and get all the same slicer features for any 3D printer. In short, don’t choose a 3D printer for it’s bundled slicer since almost any slicer can be used for almost any 3D printer.
