In the end, I want my first printer to have a well-developed ecosystem as I don't want to expend the time chasing my tail.


The slicer is just as capable as Bambu and it has a bit better print quality than any of my Bambus.

Honestly I just seem to get way better print results using PETG. Plus it just seems all around better to me for what I tend to print.



I think most people stick with pla because they just assume it is the cheapest. But petg is just as cheap now.

PLA is by far the easiest and most forgiving filament. It takes a lot of moisture to get it looking like crap. It works very good with most print bed surfaces where it doesn't stick too much, but also isn't hard to get it to stick well. It comes in the most color variations and types. It's just all around the best one to use for 3D junk that most people print. There is definitely a ramp up in what is available for PETG and a drop in price for it as well.

There is a kickstarter for something like that. Only $10k.


Resin though, there are some powder printers like that as well.
