So the Bambu labs A1 looks like the perfect starting point.
One problem, it uses proprietary firmware and software, I’m a big advocate for owning the things you buy, and not supporting companies that don’t allow you to do that as much as I reasonably can. So yea I can’t buy Bambu.
The Creality SparkX i7 seems nice, it looks like a straight up clone of the A1

I’ve heard a lot of people complain about Creality though, so unsure. I’m a bit stuck and getting decision fatigue.
My budget is ~500 Euro.
Help.
we have a prusa mini for several years at work. i am printing quite a lot and had zero issues so far. if you buy the mini: order the wifi module.
Prusa is ran by Zionists so I’d definitely avoid that.
i never heard about that. is that something prusa said?
Prusa recently partnered with Israeli company Fillament2
sad to hear, prusa looked pretty good.
Yeah very sad development from Prusa indeed, but it is what it is. Chinese companies like Sovol and Qidi provide good open-source alternatives.
