[–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (6 children) I was looking at a mini a1 recently. What’s an alternative? permalink fedilink source hideshow 12 child comments replies: [–] half_built_pyramids@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago (1 child) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] SupraMario@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago Yep grab a mk3s from FB marketplace for like $200 and print like mad. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ATPA9@feddit.org 4 points 2 months ago (1 child) You could look into the Ender 3 V3 SE. I don't know what your needs are, but it will probably work. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 child) Just something tiny, inexpensive, beginner oriented and no drama permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] turmacar@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago The newer ender printers are definitely less drama than the older ones. Unless you go higher end with them where they have bed leveling and more sensors I'd recommend something more plug and play. Big fan of Prusa. permalink fedilink source parent [–] laxu@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 months ago 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. permalink fedilink source parent [–] sobchak@programming.dev 2 points 2 months ago Voron Micron or Salad Fork kit. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Undearius@lemmy.ca 1 point 2 months ago (1 child) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] frongt@lemmy.zip -1 points 2 months ago 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. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Postmortal_Pop@lemmy.world 1 point 2 months ago (1 child) I'm always a supporter of qidi, though for my next rig I'm going to go full diy. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Tja@programming.dev 0 points 2 months ago I use Arch, btw. permalink fedilink source parent
