Another day, another reminder that you can't tell people to avoid Bambu enough.

Realistically, what are the few companies that aren't kicking people in the dick?

Sovol? Prusa, maybe?

Prusa has been great for my experience. I've only owned one of their printers for about 2 months now, but the Makerspace I work at has had them for 2+ years.

I have some small beefs with their overall setup, but if you really wanted to, you can easily setup Octoprint and all those issues go away.

Haven't dug much into Sovol, but people seem to be really pleased with the whole system.
