Another noob question - what causes this horizontal banding on a surface that’s meant to be smooth?

Say what you will about Prusa, but my Mini+ that is nearly 6 years old and still receives firmware updates including input shaping shows the long term value. Bambu started in 2022, I think, so it still has to prove itself long term. Not saying it isn't any good. If I wanted reliability today VS my C

Am I looking for a printer that doesn't exist?

Most modern printers will give you what you’re looking for. With regards to print settings, the most hands off option is usually sticking with a brand and their own filament. I bought a Creality K1 Max over a year ago and for the most part printed just fine using Creality filament and Creality’s def

Please help recommend a printer for a newbie

Love my A1. Yes it's a closed ecosystem, but so is Apple, and the iPhone is doing just fine. The A1 is an unbox, auto calibrate and start printing printer. I get why people don't like the company, but their printers just work. I also have an H2D and a Creality K1 Max. I don't even use the K1 much an

Uneven squishing even after autocalibration, K1-SE

check the bed mesh, it’s probably not level and the probe can only compensate so much. you can print bed shims that will even it out to fix this, i did it on mine and the bed variance went from 1mm to .3mm with much cleaner first layers https://www.printables.com/model/681528-bed-shims-fits-creality

Still under warranty, think I'll get a new printer or just new parts for the printer?

My K1Max drilled a square in my plate at the start of a gridfiinty bin print. Luckily I stopped it doing what happened to yours. Also under warranty. Last I heard from Creality was they will replace the "strain gauge and adjustment plate". Not the build plate though as it is older than 3 months and

Does building a Voron make sense in 2026

Vorons are fantastic printers. I built a v2 LDO kit and loved it so much that I got a v0 ldo kit as well for rapid prototyping, and I'm in the process of rebuilding my v2 to be a stealthchanger with 6 toolheads. you can tinker and mod and do whatever you want with them and stock they are fantastic.

My detailed K1C + CFS-C review

I just went through all these same issues with my k1 max upgrade. So many small changes needed from ptfe tube, orca slicer printer codes, new cfs extruder and cut module, and cfs feeder/splicer jamming and feeding wrong. Finally still working 80% of the time with Minor ghost feeding and retracting w

Call me a Bambu glazer but..

Coming out a a Creality k1 max I picked up an a1 mini from a friend as I wanted to see if it was as good as people make them out to be. Yep. I have a P2S and it’s a great machine. To be fair I also have a Core One which has been great as well. The amount of hours I wasted on troubleshooting that Cre
