@MookyTroubadour I used to run a Creality CR10-S5....massive build volume (500x500x500) for cheap...but also a massive PITA to run. Constant adjustments, failed prints, failed hardware, etc.
Switched to Bambu X1C (256x256x256) and it's a complete game-changer. Speed is ridiculous and the quality doesn't seem like FDM.
Currently running a test print on it at 0.01mm layer height -- curious to see where/if it fails with it.
@MookyTroubadour I'd recommend just getting used to cutting STLs and combing finished prints. I've done full armor suits on an old Ultimaker S3. Increased bed size has (so far) not been worth the trade in quality or reliability.
@Nikto I considered the Bambu before settling on the K1, but am in the market for something larger. The K1 Max isn’t really a “Max” kind of volume, but is CoreXY, enclosed, and fast.
I may have to wait for something to come to market, and I hate having to wait. 🤬
