Bambu lab A1 mini alternative?

Is there a small printer with ease of use and quality comparable to the A1 mini?

I was gonna get that one but the drama with BL has got me looking for alternatives.

My priorities are ease of use (no tinkering) and small size

Thanks!

  • I started with 3D printing just before Xmas last year and got myself a Sovol SV06 ACE. Open source, Klipper, large enough for my needs. But not that easy for an absolute beginner. Many mistakes made with regards to settings.

    Just two weeks ago, I bought an A1 Mini as backup and because it simply works. OK, you should use Bambu's filaments to make it 100% fool proof, but just take a look at how long it takes to swap a nozzle on the A1 vs the same operation on the Sovol. No way I'm gonna change from .4 or .2 for a single print job on the big machine.

    Long story short: yes, Bambu's policies suck, but the Mini is a fanstastic machine.
