    What 3D printers are we all using?

    I saw an old thread, but it's from a few years ago, and stuff changes fast

    What 3D printers are we all using here on the forum?

    I bought a new printer last year: Bambu Lab A1 with AMS
    It's been a great printer! So much less tinkering than my old Anycubic I3 Mega.

    Also got my workplace to buy a Bambu Lab P2S

    I've been enjoying the Bambu Lab ecosystem a LOT, between their online community and their slicer/software, I've been getting the best prints I've (personally) ever had. The simplicity of the workflow has also enable my kids (10 and 12) to run prints without any help. At work, we've got the Bambu Studio software on several co-workers' machines, so any one of us can print or check status remotely. Lots of cool features. I'm amazed at the advances in features in the past 5 or so years.

    Bought a P1P when they came out to upgrade from my crappy bed slinger. I did get the AMS later... I have not needed anything else.

      My "good" one is a Flashforge A5M. I have it at my brother's house because he can't keep the "bad" one running.
      My "bad" one is an elegoo Neptune 4 Pro. It works fine for a bed slinger.

        I have been on the fence about getting something newer myself. I have a prusa MK3S+ and thinking about the bambu route.

          Voron v2.4, Voron v0, Ender 5 plus and an Ender 3. Really want to try a Bambu as keeping the Vorons running is getting to be a chore. I want to print more and tinker less.

              I have a qidi and it's been awesome.
              Klipper and heated chamber are great for high temp stuff.

                  I’ve had a Bambu P1S with an AMS 1 for several years now. It’s hard to beat the quality of the Bambu lab’s products for the price.

                    Yeah the AMS is a nice addition.

                  I'm still running an Anycubic Kobra neo 2. Almost zero tinkering and does what I need it to do.

                    Bambu X1 Carbon with AMS here. I got it a few years ago after I gave up on my Voron 2.4 build. I just couldn't get it to work right and had spent almost double the "initial build cost" before deciding to cut my losses. I still want to get it rebuilt at some point but that build was seriously demoralising. My X1C has been so easy to use, tbh, that I've spent more time printing in the first 6 months of owning it than I was ever able to with all of my previous 3 printers (Tevo Tornado, Creality CR-200b, Voron 2.4) entire time combined. Just before Christmas I got an Eibos Tetras addon for my AMS to keep the filament constantly, actively, dried even when my X1C is off. I print primarily in ABS and PETG so it really helps to keep things dry.

                      Anycubic Kobra Max at home and a Bambu H2D at work. The anycubic was used when i got it and has taught me a lot about how to repair 3D printers. The H2D spoils me.

                        Bambu X1C with AMS. I've got 1600 hours of print time on it and it's still a phenomenal machine.

                            A1 mini. I ended up not getting the AMS, although I'm sure the convenience is nice. Sure beats my old Ender 3.
