Can any name a better 3D printer that is not Creality

This has became a complete headache, prints failing for no other reason than software crap after 2 days. So guess what have to start all over again, a waste of ******* time and money. App not working but it’s supposed to be the most up to date version (Can’t even get pass the ****** slicer)

New K2 Plus & CFS owner after 7 years with a Prusa MK3S that just always works. I thought that the bigger bed and multicolor would be great. The first week the K2 was fine, but now prints ignore color choice and fail to stick. I’m thinking about returning the K2 and sticking with my old Prusa.
So - in my experience Prusa printers are not flashy, but are extremely reliable.

Bambu Lab printers just work.

I was hyped on the K2 Plus, and tried to use it for a couple of months. One problem after another. I ended up selling it. No more Creal;ity printers for me

I hate to be that guy, but Bambu doesn’t just work. I bought my wife an A1 at the same time I bought my K2, and guess who has more problems? I know the K2’s seem to be hit or miss QC wise, but those issues usually get dealt with through support from what I’ve seen.

It’s unfortunate that you all have had so many issues, but I have something like 53 days of print time on my K2 and it’s been great printing everything from PLA to PA. In my short 6 months of printing, I’ve owned or used printers from Bambu, Anycubric, Creality, & Flashforge. Guess what? They all have the potential to run into the same issues. 99.9% of the time that issue can be fixed in the slicer.

If you just want to click print on someone else’s print profile, Bambu definitely takes first place. Otherwise, seems like pretty much every printer released in the last two years are all completely capable machines. Returning a printer because you can’t get prints to stick is insane lol.

I have 3 different 3d printers with my most recent being the Creality Hi combo. After 2 years of experience I have found that all of the manufacturers have there pluses and minuses. 3d printers are not yet fully plug and play. There is a learning curve and you’ll need to watch many videos and follow many on forums like this one to get great results. The Creality Hi is producing excellent results for me. I have used it with 3 different slicers and got great results with each. Keep learning, and unless you have a defective unit, you will get fantastic prints out of your Creality Hi.
