I’m just getting into 3d printing and I’m looking for some recommendations. My budget is $400 and I’ve narrowed it down to the sv06+ or the Ender-3 V3. I like that the print size is bigger on the sv06+ but all reviews point to the Ender, do you guys have any recommendations for me?

Also maybe the bambu a1? Or a1 mini? I don’t like that the firmware isn’t open source though.

I’m OK tinkering but just want some insight.

Thanks!

    I’ve worked with 3D printers for the last 8 years. The bambus are the most reliable, easiest to use, fastest, and have some of the best print quality I’ve seen.

    I wish they were more open but their replacement parts are cheap and the value of everything just working is terrific.

      Bambu is in the initial phase of enshittification.

      I wish they were more open

      This is how you can tell.

      Also every time someone links to a print on their website it begs me to download their app.

      Cannot recommend.
