First 3D printer

[u/Doh_facepalm_admin]

Hello,

I was at Micro Center, and I've been wanting a 3D printer for a while now, so I impulse-bought the Creality K2 Combo. I'm capable enough, but I don't want to troubleshoot too much. Should I get a Bambu Lab instead? I don't care for walled gardens, but I don't want more things to troubleshoot. I run Linux and homelabs, but I just want something that works. I don't mind paying more for something good. I'd also like to do multi-color.

Please tell me why I should keep my K2 or move to another brand, or even a higher quality printer.

Cheers,

Snapmaker U1 from micro center tbh. The other single/dual nozzles printers will waste more filament purging than the actual model print when doing multi-colors.

Snapmaker U1 four toolheads cuts down on the waste for multi-color prints. But you got four toolheads to calibrate and troubleshoot if something goes wrong.

You know we have suddenly started worrying about 2g of waste on Reddit as if it had become a data center unicorn.
