The good, the bad and the ugly of different printers

[Shadowcat]

I can’t swing it at the moment but I love to look - what prodding Eric to chose the Ender K1 Max versus Bambu P series or Prusa MK 3 or 4?

Ability to print more colors. When, not if, you get a better printer, we will see who needs your current one.

You mean I would have to give up ol Bessy? lol

There’s more to it than colors although colors definitely is in the equation, especially when looking at what price points your looking at. The reason I like Creality, Bambu and Prusa is the reputation of being solid, low problem performers at the 500 to 1,000 range with color being available as add ons, etc. but I figured our pros would get their preferences outside my very limited knowledge.

I gave up ol' Bessie to an olde fart out east. Bext printer l have had of the 4 so far.

Ol Bessei has been a patient and forgiving old lady and she might be a bit slower than these new fangled machines but she git’s er dun. I know you miss her and offered to send it back but you said “naaw you keep her old man”.

All kidding aside, I’m really digging on this thing and can’t thank you enough for providing me the opportunity to delve into something new that I would never have even thought of before VRAP. I really do hope to get the next level or so up, but it won’t be for a while.

No hurry. And yet, you delved into the VRAP website...so trying something new happened twice this year...
