  • Oh crikey - I def didn’t drink the flavor-aid. I bought the printer, I’m using it stock with BS to start with and so far it seems acceptable to me. I loved orca and am very willing to make environment changes the moment this setup doesn’t meet my needs. I’m just pleasantly surprised that it’s not the all-but-guaranteed shit show the transition was made out to be.

    For a philistine member of the proletariat like me - just wanting to fix shit that’s broken or bust out practical shit - it fits the bill for me. It’s not a McLaren, I bought the Hyundai.

    Same page with local LAN mode and non-Bambu filaments. I want the outcome not the process.



  • Hey friend! I was genuinely surprised when there was a seemingly prevailing preference between the two stables. I had never used 3D printers before and I was blown away by how easy the ender was to use. No shade at all.

    I was really gobsmacked to experience the marked increase in built in “nice to have”/“QA features that I hadn’t experienced the first time round. I had no reason to upgrade from the ender based on my experience. It was no longer available to me and I had to buy my own and as a result of said research - the A1 has really impressed me.

    Horses for courses. If I hadn’t now used the A1, I’d have no reason to be discontent.

    I’m sure another model will come along at some point that makes me want to jump up another level.

    In all honesty, the ender was great, made sense, I was learning it and it did what I expected and wanted… the difference is I’ve learned there is more available.

    No complaints about the ender at all - I just realised, through a transition that wasn’t by choice, that there was something (on initial impression) that outclasses it.

    If I hadn’t lost the ender, I may never have looked at something else.
