I'm a slightly Advanced 3D printer... Been printing for 5 years. Started with the CR10s & two Ender 3's when they first came out. I think it's definitely helped me be successful with the Bambu & some of the tiniest quirks/learning curve. I've had some Amazing Prints on the Creality Printers, But Bambu is by Far.... Far Superior in every way, from Print Quality to being able to print from my Phone... Only Downside is the Small 238mm x 226mm print area, the bowden tube too close to the right side & top of the printer & how it won't retract many filaments. I'm a Huge tinkerer & Woodworker
