I am thinking of buying a 3d printer, but don’t know which one to buy:
Mainly using this printer to print some small stuff…
Both models are similar to me.
Although I know Bambu A1 is good for beginners…
I prefer more on Ender v3 because a local shop now has 3d printer deals.
Feel free to share your advice with me…Thanks!
Talk to Mathew, on this forum or at 3D printing Canada
bambu is more user friendlyhttps://3dprintingspace.com/t/printers-not-extruding/9766?u=printerperson
Bambu it is more likely to be hassle free and have better support. The ender is very old tech now, heck Bambu is falling behind as well, but still it is far more advanced.
Some of the latest Enders are fully equipped and superior over the old models. They are still bed slingers but for smaller items that is OK.
How small is small? An A1 Mini is cheaper yet.
Nothing wrong with a V3 and you have the option to install a 0.2 mm nozzle (the default is 0.4 mm) for miniatures with fine details.
For Beginners: Choose Ender 3 V3 SE for simplicity and cost-effectiveness.
For Advanced Users: Choose Ender 3 V3 KE(for greater material flexibility and customizability) or the latest Ender 3 v3 (for high-speed printing and modern features) or Ender 3 v3 Plus for larger prints
For Professionals: Choose Bambu Lab A1 for speed, automation, and superior performance.
Bed slingers are OK (usually work fine and print good enough for most things) and cheap but if you can afford more then a core X-Y is a better choice. My K1 Max prints better then my old E3V2 and six times faster without pushing it’s capabilities.
It is important to remember that ALL printers have a learning curve and will need repairs at some point. This is not negotiable.
