With the k1, Bambu labs, and prusa xl all coming out I’m really starting to look at my 3 year old SK-GO as “slow”. Do you think it’s worth waiting for awhile and seeing if the competition heats up more or should I just pull the trigger on one of the current high speed machines

Yea I mean, I think I have a pretty low appetite for modding and tinkering. I would describe my ideal 3D printer as like, “what if Apple made a 3D printer”. I’d want to load filament and have it “just work” as much as possible.

So in that case, Bambulabs P1P is probably the printer you want, despite it's proprietary nature.

I probably should have asked what you were looking for in a printer before starting to recommend stuff, but at least we figured it out in the end.
