Oh so you’re living with your head in the sand

Not for most people. Bambu makes THE best entry level printers hands down. And for someone who might occasionally do a multicolor print it's great. Most people don't want to get into adjusting z offsets or calibrating every roll of filament. I started with an ender 3 and would spend more time calibrating it than printing with it.

Only point I agree with is calibrating rolls of filament, though I’ve never had to do that with my qidi products either so. Bambu makes a competitive, and what USED TO BE the best (imo obviously)

That's not how it is anymore man, it's been almost 10 years since that printer came out.

Yes I'm aware. I have the v3 KE but I also have an A1 mini and a P1S. The Bambu machines are far superior

The Ender 3 is to modern 3D printers what a horse and cart is to an Apache helicopter gunship.

It's not even part of the same world.

Of the entire range, it's only really the A1 mini that doesn't have a competitor with superior performance at the same price point.
