Live in Southern California desert region and have been in the hobby since reprap mendel and have built several printers from scratch. Then tinkered with Creality for years adding and customizing parts to improve my prints. But after all the years(at least 20) I can say I am happy with the ease of printing and quality of prints for such little effort and cost with my Bambu A1. Cant wait to see what the next generation of printers will be... will Bambu start to run away with the market or will a new printer emerge giving new options and healthy competition.
