I’m thinking of entering this world for the first time, and I was wondering if there are any models that you feel you would particularly recommend, thanks to anyone who would like to share their experience!

If you don’t want to have a second hobby as a 3D printer maintainer (which is totally fine if you like to thinker and calibrate print-settings) then Bambulab printers are really good (if you have pets, buy an enclosed one)
This was the question posed to me, and I went with the latter which lead me to Bambulabs (pre-shenanigans).
As a house with 3 dogs and 2 cats, it’s not a real problem. Sometime a quick wipe is needed, but the critters ain’t going to interfere with any printing.
That’s what I thought too at first, then I forgot the door open once when I went to the toilet and when I came back I found one of my cats very closeling inspecting the moving toolhead heated up at 200°C pushing out molten plastic
And it’s still annoying to clean the printer before each use
Interesting point.
IDK if you heard about Bambu’s enshittification, an alternative that’s very similiar in price and design is Qidi.
I didn’t get a Bambu printer because of the price or design, I got it because of its “just works” reputation, which it does.
Unless Qidi matches that ease, it isn’t equivalent, and that’s important to mention. Maybe it does?
And yeah, I don’t love the recent changes, but that’s only ideologically. Practically speaking it is still amazing.
