I’ve been using my Bambu P1S Combo for roughly 2 Months now and have been loving it. I liked its User Friendliness, Speed, Quality and Reliability so much, that I wanted to get a second P1S Combo for all Multi colour stuff and then go on to try the A1 Series for Mono Colour Prints in a planned small Size Print Farm…

Needless to say, Bambu shit the heatbed so hard with its recent changes that I can no longer support them, leaving me to wonder what printers hit the same Notes that I liked and mentioned above.

One Printer I’ve been curious about since I joined this hobby was the Ankermake M5. If what I heard is true, then it would make for the perfect Monocolour printer as it would allegedly hit all above mentioned points… especially considering I could go for Refurbished models for half the price, only 260€ which seems endlessly enticing…

Thoughts? What are some other options? I especially could need a reccomendation for an enclosed Multi Colour Printer with P1S quality… as for price wise I am very open and flexible honestly. I’m kinda just curious what options there are in general nowadays!

    If you have a farm you’ve got spare parts on hand and you’re not relying on support.

    I agree on creality though, I’ve owned a few and I’m skeptical but people really like their new one.

      The k1max was my first. It had its share of issues but as someone who wanted to learn it was good to you build a baseline understanding. It was one of the first wave of productions that had some issues. My K1C and second K1Max only have user caused issues.
