@geerlingguy@mastodon.social I've been avoiding Bambu like the plague since they made their first blog post "trying to set the record straight". OTOH I really need to get a new printer to replace my aging (and modded-to-death) ender 3. Do you have any recommendations? I've been looking to the prusa core one+ (since the Bondtech INDX is or will be available for that). They seem to honor the open source community, but you never know what'll happen. Perhaps I should just build a Voron 2.4 and be done with it.

@grumpydad@infosec.exchange @geerlingguy@mastodon.social Prusa has been great for a really long time, support their printers well, and offer upgrades when possible. You could have upgraded a MK3 to a CoreOne+ through upgrade kits over time if you wanted though it would be the printer of Theseus by the end. I’ve got an INDX on order for my CoreOne+.

@grumpydad@infosec.exchange I've been happy with my 2.4 but I think if I were building now I'd go with the latest revision of the Trident. The new release is due out very soon and having the rigid frame for the tool head gantry is nicer for print quality at speed.
