Now that Bambu is off the table, which budget-friendly 3D printer would you recommend?

I used to recommend the Bambulab A1 (Mini), because they are amazing, really cheap printers. But Bambulab in the meantime Bambulab is pulling an Apple in a very bad way, so can't recommend them anymore.

I have a Snapmaker U1, a decidedly not-budget printer, but I can totally recommend that one for anyone who's seriously into 3D printing. What an awesome machine!

    Really wish I had backed the Kickstarter. Definitely in for the next one if they keep this up.

    Seriously, amazing piece of kit and pretty open and hackable at that.

    Way fun to use.

    Only downside: the reverse bowden tubes make printing with PLA annoying because it keeps breaking in the tubes if you leave it in there for a few days without printing.

    The upside: it prints PETG just as well as PLA, so I just stopped using PLA alltogether.
