  • I started with an Ender 3 Pro. It's a great printer to start with and learn how 3d printing works. Last year I upgraded to a Bambu X1 Carbon. Since then, there has been no more tinkering, no more bed leveling, no more manual calibration, no more ferrying microsd cards back and forth, hardly any troubleshooting, and what few issues I've had were easily solved. The Ender is great to learn on, like a first car. You beat it up, fix it, break it, fix it again. Once you outgrow it, I'd recommend a Bambu.




  • Stop using the digital voice recorder and type everything yourself. This is the best way to protect your voice print in this situation. It doesn't work well as a protest or to educate your colleagues, but I suppose that's one thing you can use your voice for. Since AI transcription is a cost saving measure, there will be nothing you can do to stop its use. No decision maker will choose the more expensive option with a higher error rate on morals alone.






  • I started with and ended 3 pro. It was new, no frills, basic printer. I learned a lot in assembly, calibration, and my first prints. I quickly learned that bed levelling was a chore I could do without and added a cr touch. Now that I've done hundreds of prints, it's time for a step up, and I just received the Bambulab X-1 Carbon. A major leap forward in terms of printing to tinkering ratio. The point is, you are on the right track. Get something you can calibrate and tinker with and upgrade to increase your knowledge. You will know when you are ready for something more automatic.
