Greeting.
I have owned two printers. the first acquisition was in 2012. CreateBot mini 2 nozlle. ( https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006031709754.html ) This served until 2021. Printing was really challenging. 95% of the prints I used ABS filament. most of the prints had to be printed 3-5 times before the printing was successful. Even a successful print had small errors. such as small deviations in the hotbed attachment. I kept fighting for 10 years
in 2022 I decided to buy a geeetech A30T. ( https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003202059050.html ) Because it had a three color mixture nozzle.The print adheres better to the substrate, but messes up the print with strings. The problems started as soon as I started printing with three threads. I never managed to use more than one filament for prints. I managed to fight for a year.
in May 2023 I decided to order a new printer bambulab x1c. I had been fighting for several months with old printers. with this new printer 99.9 percent of the prints have been successful the first time and perfect. it is absolutely amazing to print more products at the same time. such has not been possible with the 2012 printer. the 2022 printer somehow managed, but they were messy. it took a lot of time to clean the prints.
Until now, bambulab has been a purchase worth every euro. I haven’t missed the tuning I did in 10 years. every time I am happy with another successful print. this printer is not just good it is unbelievably good.
