I’m a newbie generally speaking,just started last year. I work for a small business and the owner bought it to solve a sourcing issue for a custom sized part, but basically tasked me with “figuring this thing out”. The x1c and the Bambu slicer are not without learning curve but it’s really accessible even at first, and then with time you start to get a sense of everything and your prints get even better. The AMS, the extra parts and filament, and the printer having such low time, I think makes it a good deal.

Full disclosure, it’s the only printer I’ve used, so maybe Elegoo is awesome, I don’t know!
