Last year I said I'd probably never recommend another Bambu Lab printer again.
I still use my P1S, but after Bambu Lab started pushing their always-connected cloud solution as the new default:
I blocked the printer from the Internet via my OPNsense Firewall I stopped updating the firmware I locked the printer into Developer mode I deleted Bambu Studio and started using OrcaSlicer I had to do that to keep it under my control, instead of Bambu's.
Just about any modern printer “just works” these days.
Prusa is fantastic in terms of openness and self-repairability, but it is pretty expensive due to the fact that it’s all made in the EU, and not in sweatshops in China.
The Snapmaker U1 is a good alternative if you want something far less expensive, but it’s not going to be quite as open and repairable.
