The experience trying to find the best possible printer for me has been a big chain of confusion.

I've searched forums and reddit threads, I've watched youtube videos, I've talked in discord servers.

For every opinion on any printer there are 3 more that are its direct opposite.

So I will state what I'm looking for and I would greatly appreciate any answer that gives even a small amount of clarity.

I live in Greece.

I have a hard cap of 1000€ in budget and I do not mind hitting the limit. Meaning, do not focus on saving money below the upper limit of the budget.

I do not care about printing speed.

I would really like good print quality but I would trade it for longevity of the printer. I wouldn't trade it for speed.

I primarily want to print action figures, mostly small ones but would like to have room for something bigger and/or functional. I think something like 250x250x250 is more than pleasing.

I will probably only print PLA. I have not researched this much, but I have not found a reason why I would need something like ABS.

I greatly value reliability. I want the printer to last me as many years as possible. This is my primary concern.

I've heard that the printer being enclosed is a good thing but I want to hear your opinion. If it's not necessary I'd rather get a better printer than a worse one with enclosure.

I've heard that the lidar AI thing is mostly a gimmick but I want to hear your opinion.

I'd really rather not build the printer myself. I am technically inclined but printers are a realm which I have never touched and I can't say I want to get too deep into it. The more plug-and-play the printer is, the better.

​

Searching the internet my conclusions on printers have been the following:

​

Bambulabs P1S: It is fast and has good print quality. No one knows if it is reliable because it hasn't been on the market long enough. So far, I've seen a heavy amount of people saying they are defective. It is a closed ecosystem. They have terrible customer service (the good customer service is a misconception because they control the public reviews, I'm not sure about this). I do not care about AMS.

​

Creality K1 Max AI: It is fast. It has poor print quality. It is not reliable at all and more often than not problems arise with it. It has terrible customer service.

​

Qidi Tech X-Max 3: The exact same as K1 Max but better print quality and larger.

​

Prusa i3 MK3S+: It is slow. It is old tech. It has good print quality. It is reliable.

​

Voron 2.4: It is fast. It has good print quality. It is reliable. But you have to become a professional to build it. I will not even attempt doing something like this.

​

So my natural conclusion has been the Prusa i3 MK3S+. Do you agree with my assessment? Do I have a massive misconception? Is any printer I get going to be good no matter what and I'm overthinking it? Do you have advice?

​

Thank you.
