I don't know about other brands or even models, but I can attest that the Bambu A1 Mini "just works".

I precisely wanted to avoid another hobby, of which I have too many already. 3D printing as a hobby doesn't appeal to me, I just wanted something that solved the problem and was relatively cheap. The A1 is this for me, it's as close as a fire and forget appliance as I could find.

Not saying there aren't better alternatives, just that it simply works for me.

The A1 mini has turned out to be a fire hazard as of recently. Some component in the power supply that can explode and in the worst case catch fire. Multiple events during the last year, and shockingly it hasn't been recalled. You probably don't want to run yours while not in the room.

Thanks, I'll pay attention. To be honest I never run anything without me in the same room or the next one, so I should be safe.
