I was looking at a mini a1 recently. What’s an alternative?

    Prusa MINI

    Elegoo Centauri Carbon 2

    Anycubic Kobra S1

    Qidi Tech Q2

    Creality has gone IPO and AI, aka down the same path as Bambu. Maybe an old reliable used ender 3, but I wouldn't but anything new from them.

    Speaking of, plenty of old reliable mk3s out there.

    You could look into the Ender 3 V3 SE. I don't know what your needs are, but it will probably work.

    Very happy with my Anycubic Kobra S10 + ACE. I chose it because I knew I could use open source software if needed and even the stock software works purely over LAN when needed.

    I've been looking at getting a Sovol, specifically the SV06 Plus ACE.

    I wonder what others think about them compared to some of the other options mentioned.

    I have a Sovol. They work, but they take more care and feeding. The quality of life features from some other brands aren't there. I hardly use mine because actually getting it dialed in to get a good print is a pain in the ass.

    But they're also very hackable.
