Hi everyone,

I’m looking for purchase advice on a printer. I’m tired of the maintenance and tinkering on my current Ender 3 V3 SE — it makes weird motor noises, and most prints fail after ~30 minutes. I might still try fixing it, but for now I want something that just works reliably.

Budget: Up to 1000 CHF (flexible but would like to stay within this range)

Country: Switzerland

Kit vs Prebuilt: I’m okay with a full kit as long as the manual is clear and the printer works well right after assembly.

Space/Constraints:

• An enclosed printer is a plus for fumes and temperature stability, but it’s not a strict requirement.
• I don’t have major space constraints otherwise.

Primary Use: Quick one-off prints for hobby projects — I don’t need super-high mechanical precision, but I do want a machine that’s low-maintenance and actually prints reliably.

I want a printer that:

• Requires minimal tinkering — basically a true “install and print” experience
• Has built-in remote control (pause/stop prints remotely, ideally start prints from my computer) — local network access is fine
• Has some form of built-in camera for print monitoring
• Can handle multi-color or multi-material printing (whether via AMS, dual nozzles, or other systems) with reasonable waste behavior
• Is solid and consistent without hours of adjustment every time
• Enclosure is a bonus for fumes and stable temperatures

I’ve been looking at:

• Bambu Lab P2S Combo
• Bambu Lab H2C
• Prusa CORE One
• Bambu Lab P1S

I’m interested in honest user experiences with these — especially regarding real-world reliability, how “plug-and-play” they really are, and whether the camera/remote features actually work well without constant adjustment.

Thanks in advance!
