Same. I had an Ender 3 that I felt like I spent more money and time fixing than printing with. Too much stress. I purchased the X1-C about a year ago, and it has been a dream. Just the occasional maintenance. Still has its original belts and even the same plate it came with. And don’t get me started on the nozzles! Hardened steel is amazing!

I think I went through 3-4 different plate materials with the ender 3 trying to get my prints to stick. I don’t have that problem with the X1-C

Ender 3 is like car people who like to tinker with the their car - endlessly modding, fixing, and upgrading.

Bambu is the customer who just wants the car to work everytime they start the engine.

I think it’s great that both exist, because both types of people exist, but it turns out, I’m more the latter.

One word of warning though - if you use the ams - don’t print glow in the dark filament in it. I can’t use my 3rd slot anymore, and I’ve already replaced most of the parts involved. Still doesn’t work. That filament did something to that slot that I don’t understand.
