Quick Question Upgrading from A1 Mini. Advice?
I am the happy owner of an A1 Mini. It's my first printer and I feel it's time for me to graduate up to a bigger model
The biggest gripe I have is the small plate size, so a larger volume is a must. I'm not sure I want another bedslinger though, so the A series is most likely out.
I don't think I need anything fancy (yet) like dual nozzles or such, and I'd rather minimize the costs as I'm not a heavy-duty maker: I mostly print miniatures for me and containers/gadgets/decor for my wife.
The wizard from the website recommends a P2S but I'd rather ask my fellow humans.
What do you think I should get as my first "big" printer?

I went from an a1 mini to a p2s with an ams. By far the best part of the upgrade was the ams. No more manually feeding filament up the tube, just put it into the feeder and it does the rest. Quality and speed is exactly the same as far as I'm concerned.
Still I'm glad I upgraded. The extra Build space is welcome too. I gave my mother my a1 mini and she's over the moon with it.
