I had a few Enders and it was fun to mod and mess around with to make it work better. Upgrading boards, firmware, hot ends, ect.
But as I got older and free time became more and more rare I picked up a used Bambu A1 mini off marketplace with a ton a of hours. I heard the hype so I wanted to take a chance. The A1 I got had like 900 hours on it mind you, it worked flawlessly! Almost little to now tweaking on it to get it to work.
A year later I just ordered a P1S with ams which I just got. So far out of the box it’s been great no messing around at all.
I will say having the ender makes you appreciate how great some of the higher end products are. And also prepares you how to fix things that may pop up vs buying something turn key that just works.
