I think it depends on preference. The MK4 is very well known and loved by many. Personally, my first printer was an Ender 3 and it's been an absolute beast. So I'd prob lean toward the ender, but I've also never had a Prusa so maybe I'm missing out

I would look at the Creality Ender 3 ($175) and you can buy cheap filament on amazon for $20. Not necessarily cheap, but more affordable than most thing and that's a quality setup honestly

Same for me, I can't wait 😂

Yeah, in terms of my car says I have 300 miles of range but in reality (especially road trips) I really only have maybe 70% of that (just estimating here, don't have hard data)

You lost all credibility when you said Bambu has "great support"...They are known for having some of the worse product/customer support in the business. And just a bout EVERY printer made since last year "just work right" without any tweaking. The ONLY thing Bambu has (had) that other companies didnt was the AMS system and now come June/July there will be a ton of those from different companies and all those new ones are improvements on Bambu's AMS...You might want to dump your Bambu's now while you still can because they are being Antiquated in a few months time....I already dumped mine

I have never used a bambu, but if that is your experience and you've had good times then for sure I wouldn't move over. That's a bummer about Creality. I've gotten lucky maybe, but only had two of their machines, and not expensive ones.

@@anthonylong5870 Are you talking about the new Prusa? Not reviewed well and have used one. Not ready for prime time. Creality has non existent suppot. Any issue I have ever had with Bambu has been remedied quickly and at no cost to me. 4 Bambu printers working flawlessly. I have had Creality, Prusa, Anycubic, Elegoo, and Bambu. 15 printers in all. Nothing even comes close to speed, quality and reliability of my Bambu. My first Ender 3 was a great printer and is still in use. My Anycubic Predator Delta is still in use but requires a good deal of work. All the rest I dumped due to wasted filament and time. I can only speak to my own experience but I'm sticking will Bambu till something better comes along. Would like to build my own Voron. That would be fun.

@@OverExtrudedPhysicist Unfortunately for me I jumped in on some of Creality's untested printers. Specifically, the CR-10 S pro and the CR10 smart and the CR-6 smart. I still use my original Ender 3 and it can be a workhorse for the right job. For critical prints I leave it to Bambu

I've never used one personally. The idea that I could scan something and it make a reliable mesh sounds amazing. But still there are hurdles (what about underneath the object if it is sitting on a table, what if the mesh looks like trash, how detailed can the scan really be, etc.)

I use an Einstar scanner myself, and I use it if I need to modify and/or add-on to any sort of item with a lot and/or unique geometry that would take too long to model in CAD from scratch. Simple stuff you can just go to down with calipers and probably get the job done faster. Very unique items like certain auto body parts or items where you are trying to mesh a 3d model with another item that has a lot of organic lines? These are situations where 3d scanning is fantastic.

did you try to retrofit something to cars? Try to get all surfaces and features from dashboard...

You certainly didn’t see yet a good scan from a 3D scanner and not from a phone app. I ordered a Creality Raptor. It will go well with my existing ones. Einscan-SP, Revopoint mini and Einstar. I use them for reverse engineering or for reference for mod parts.

I wonder that....I'm waiting to find out. I feel like naturally it should, right? If nothing else a second hand (if you find it worth the risk) should definitely fall

With the CFS I totally agree. It is a super similar system...but the most sincere form of flattery is imitation!

Surpassing actually

I guess for a hobbyist like myself it's still a big ole chunk of change though. It's more than all 3 of my printers combined lol

@OverExtrudedPhysicist im not saying its not a lot of money, it is still entirely out of my budget. Im just saying that the next option is 3000 and they go up from there, so its cheap relative to its competition os what i mean

I am definitely considering a K1C just to use the CFS with. After using my SOVOL I will find it hard to use only a single color from now on. The K2 is prob too expensive for me right now

@@OverExtrudedPhysicist The CFS is going to be available on the standard 3 V3 as well. and possibly the Ke According to the early reports

@@OverExtrudedPhysicist definitely

I feel like as long as you double everything properly it’ll be good
