Hi there,

I’m considering upgrading my old ender 3 and it looks like the prusa MK4 or bambu labs p1s are the current best options out there.

I like the bambu labs for the fast print speed and x/y print bed. I also love the idea of the AMS - it would be awesome to print in colour! But being closed source puts me off a bit as I currently use octopeint and obico to monitor my ender 3 which, as far as I can tell, Is not possible to use with bambu labs. Also having to upload gcode to the cloud is not ideal.

The prusa however is great because of the open source nature. However the slinger bed and slower prints are putting me off. I have also read that the mmu can be temperamental at best, so printing colour may not be an option?

Any thoughts/recommendations?

Thanks

    Take a look at the WUXN printer Comes fully assembled and ready to go I prefer Open platforms They are far easier to get parts or get fixed when needed There is also the massive amount of waste that Bambu Lab printers make out of their poop shoot to print color
