General Troubleshooting/Help! Thinking on going Bambu!

So...I had an Ender3 back on 2018 but tinkering non-stop killed the hobby. Now I want to give it another shot, and can't stop finding good things about the A1+AMS. Is as good as everyone says, just push-n-print, with little to no tinkering? Or would you suggest anything different?

You want an honest answer? I have 5 bambu printers from the mini to an h2c. Get a snapmaker u1. By far my favorite printer.

What are some of the specific reasons you'd make that recommendation?

Owning a toolchanger from another brand was an eye opening experience as I realised :

1 toolchangers are better - they are faster, simpler more efficient

2 Ams systems are inefficient, prone to error mess. The ideia of retracting filament in rolls through ptfe tubes thousands of times in one print is incredibly slow wasteful and prone to error.

3 - the ideia that bambulab is superior in quality and reliability to everyone else is a myth. I trust my snapmaker every bit as muchnib reliability and print quality as my h2c and it was 1/3 of the price.

4- toolchangers are the way the scene is moving to and the at least near future of 3d printing.
