Prusa mk4 (started life as an mk3s+) for bigger more durable stuff
Elegoo saturn for detailed pretty stuff Completely happy with both Prior units....too many to mention, all sold or given away because they didn't perform up to the two current |

Bambu x1 combo - currently running Voron 2.4 350 - under construction At work: Prusa mk 4, qidi xmax 3, bambu p1s All of these worked straight out of the box with no fooling around. I've got 3 Ender 3 Pros. 4.2.7 boards, touch screens, metal bed, cheap creality direct drive hot ends, and filament detectors. Just started messing w/ something other than PLA. |

Glad to see I'm not the only one with an Elegoo.
I have: Neptune 4 Pro × 6 Neptune 4 Plus × 1 Neptune 4 Max x 1 I bought all of these within a few weeks and have been happy with all of them. Working on starting a business and wanted the same printers to save time and headaches. |

Ender 3 Pro, with the SKR Mini board and hacked-in BL Touch just got replaced with a Qidi Q1 Pro. I am still floored by the speed of it.

Fairly well modified CR10S4
Think I'm going to end up building a Voron in similar size (if nothing else reuse my 400x400 A/C heated bed) |

I've been running my Prusa i3 MK3S+ for almost 5 years now. I don't run it 24/7 and mostly just design and print crap for around the house, 2a stuff, and just other random shit. But..
It's used, and often (printed straight for three weeks when I started getting into printing lowers - without one bag print) I've only had to replace the bed temp sensor Never have issues painting anything. It just works without any tinkering. Eats PLA, PLA+, PETG like nothing, all day long. I don't even remember the last time I got a bad print, must have been years ago... My last print... Overture Super PLA Plus. Other than removing support, no cleanup was needed.  |

I'd go enclosed vs not enclosed every time now, but I suppose it depends on what materials you print.
Comparing the models at the same price point, the P1S has the AMS to have 4 spools loaded. |

I'm looking at upgrading my MK3S+ to something faster and those are the two I'm debating about. The MK4 is a good printer, no doubt. Especially with the recently released firmware upgrades. But for the price, the X1 combo kills it. Look at multi material and an enclosure costs for the MK4. The P1S is 90% of the X1C. |

What about ease of print and setup? What I love about my mk3i is it's 100% flawless and requires no tinkering...

The only mod I have done is printing a poop chute. But, I did print the BaBo Duo drawer system to hold the X1 tools and stuff. I have spent a ton of money on filament though. This thing is so efficient.... I am considering getting an A1 Mini, just to print TPU, I have a dryer...... |

Bambu P1S with AMS, just worked out of the box. 700 hours later, still working.
Did upgrade the extruder and nozzle to hardened steel to work with nylons, for things I don't ever take pictures of. So here's a 12 hour helmet stand print.

Both the P1S and the Mk4 came out of the box, got set on a bench and started printing.
For that matter so did the qidi xmax 3. I'd say the qidi is the fastest, but the mk4 and p1s print nicer, barely. |
