Yeah, the 3D printer bug is real. I didn't want to go low end...more like mid-range and bought a Qidi iMates printer as my first. Great box. Prints ABS really well which is what I wanted it for, but then.....the Bambu Labs X1C Carbon hit the market and now the Qidi has been relegated to printing TPU... The Bambu Labs printer just prints everything so much faster and with little effort on my part screwing around with settings. I've had my share of failed prints with it, but most of those are using PETG which is really not easy to print fast. I'm about to print an IS-4 turret on the X1C and at a .16 layer height it is going to take 7.5 hours. Believe it or not that will be the longest print yet on it. Nothing else has taken that long and I printed an entire BMP-1 in less than a week of casual printing. I sliced the turret in my Qidi slicer and it would take 29 hours to print on a traditional printer. The Bambu is FAST, but it was also expensive. The P1P is much less expensive, but still not cheap. I think it would make an excellent starter printer, but like I said...not really cheap like an Ender.
