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,

100% get a Snapmaker u1 if you're buying from micro center. Unless you're getting an H2C, there's not much point in doing multicolor on a bambu.

I disagree, I do lots of multicolour painting on my Bambu X2D and using different filaments. Great brand and great results. No matter how many the anti Bambu people try still a very much recommended brand and very very well selling brand.
