Okay, what is ACTUALLY the best 3D printer (rant/discussion)??

Yeah, it's absolutely massive. And I don't know why this idiot is calling the H2C slow. It's fast as hell. It's faster than nearly every other printer on the market aside from the Snapmaker U1 and Prusa XL. You want to see slow, you look at my K1 max and it's 3.5 minute color changes.

BambuLab vs Creality vs Qidi - X1C, K1 Max, vs Plus4.

The Creality K1 Max demonstrated significantly less stringing and showed good accuracy, with the 0.3mm test piece not budging.

Now I understand how it feels

My first foray into 3d printing was buying some for my work (primary school), bought a few k1 max's for me and the kids to tinker with. Got hooked on 3d printing and bought an A1 at home. The difference in quality, ease-of-use and maintenance is insane. Closing in on 1500 hours on the A1 now. The H2S line will be my next one if this one every dies or I move and get more room.

Are Creality printers really rubbish?

Im someone who has had a home made prusa i3 printer for the best part of 10 years here and have had no end of problems over that time with breakdowns in the middle of a 12 hour print and always making repairs somewhere. Anyway I bumped into someone in my travels who has a Creality K1 max and uses it in his business extensively. It sure seems fast and going by what he said, is very reliable. The printer quality is out of this world and would be a huge jump in improvement from my prusa i3. He has made a few mods to it, like raise the height of the cabinet, as he said the top lid was touching the filament tube and he also made a different fan duct on the side, but I don't know how critical that is. Now after reading a few people's posts, there seems to be a number of people who say to avoid this brand citing unreliablity as the main issue. All I know is that it has a huge print volume and is priced well and seeing it working is pretty convincing. If anyone could shed any more light on the subject would be good. This fella is using it commercially and had nothing to complain and he seems pretty clued up on 3d printing. I wouldn't be using it as much as he is, but im printing much more nowadays.
