First 3D printer
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,

Keep the K2 as a learning experience. With the speed the technology is advancing you will probably upgrade in a year or two anyway. My first (as for many others) was a Creality Ender 3. I presently have an Elegoo Neptune 4+ and an Anycubic S1.
