I’ve been running my Creality CR6 SE (kickstarter edition) for a few years now, and now considering an upgrade to add to the fleet. But I’m way out of the loop on what would be a good robust and reliable option these days. Would love some recommendations on what to look for in a new printer, and maybe which printers the community would agree are solid choices. I already have a good resin printer, so specifically looking at just FDM printers.

    Sovol sv06 is one of the best ones in terms of price to performance. If you want great customer support, get a Prusa. I can’t recommend bambu lab because of their closed off system and bad security practices.

    My Prusa i3 Mk3 treated me quite well - it wasn’t “out of the box” printing (even accounting for the fact that I got a kit version), but once I got it dialed in, I could just keep printing without having to fix things and retune.

    Most definitely not “out of the box” is a Voron 2.4, which is my current printer. It was, however, so much fun to build and get running.

    If you want something that runs flawlessly out of the box, get a Bambu labs printer. My p1p (upgraded to p1s spec) can handle anything I throw at it. Regularly printing nylon at near perfect quality.
