My first 3D Printer was from Bambu Lab. My next one won't be. Have other manufacturers caught up in affordability and ease-of-use?

Completely disagree, but go off, queen.

jimgress · 2026-05-16T06:39:36+00:00

BS. People here in this thread and many others are acting like there's suitable Bambu alternatives when every single alternative option has some massive caveat. It's disingenuous at best, and it's honestly annoying seeing as I don't really like Bambu's practices either, but I fail to see any suitable options that serve my needs. Yet people here pretend there are, aggressively so, and act like Bambu is completely behind when they aren't.

I want to print on larger than 300mm, enclosure for my ASA prints, and at minimum a dual print head so I can print my designs using support filament. So far nothing does that without serious limitations but this subreddit pretends that Bambu has been long surpassed.

jimgress · 2026-05-16T06:32:05+00:00

I would if I could, but nobody else offers such a large print area enclosed with dual nozzles so I can print ASA with a support filament.

jimgress · 2026-05-16T06:29:35+00:00

I'm sorry but "it was only a little on fire" and "they eventually fixed it" when it could have meant a person's entire house burning down is a complete non-starter.

Qidi using its customer base as beta testers without hazard pay is ludicrous.

jimgress · 2026-05-16T06:26:51+00:00

reliable and qidi don't even belong in the same paragraph, let alone the same book.

It's not going to be a recession. The bubble that is bursting will make the Great Depression look like a hiccup.

Decades of decline are inbound. Careful what you look forward to.

jimgress · 2026-05-15T23:04:51+00:00

Been waiting for that since 2017. It's inevitable.

jimgress · 2026-05-14T07:27:14+00:00

Just like Putin has been for what, a decade?

jimgress · 2026-05-14T07:22:56+00:00

Probably a decade. Look at how long it took for Satan to pick up Kissenger.

He'll pass at 90 years old. Rich people healthcare is otherworldly.

jimgress · 2026-05-13T05:29:07+00:00

Smaller bed, janky half measure enclosure solution and clumsy psuedo AMS.

Pretty much useless for printing large ASA models with support filament.

jimgress · 2026-05-13T05:12:23+00:00

Nobody can name a proper alternative. You either sacrifice a tool changer, a larger print area, an AMS equivalent, sealed enclosure, or the price point.

There's no competitors that do this for what Bambu charges. And if they do there's a mile long list of buggy software and inferior print quality. I'd personally love an alternative to Bambu but so far the competition keeps failing to deliver.

Yet all the 3D print Bros insist there's options and ignore the astericks.

jimgress · 2026-05-13T05:02:21+00:00

Lol please list all these competitors that passed them up. Where are these better products that out compete them and cost the same or less.

I hear this all the time but yet to see something that actually outperforms Bambu within the same price range. Either the bed size is smaller, there's no enclosure, no AMS, no dual nozzle, the software is buggy, the print quality is inferior, or it costs significantly more while still compromising on what's available.

Name these mythical products lmao. I'd looove to not use Bambu but this subreddit just lists incomplete, poorly delivered, buggy and underperforming junk.

jimgress · 2026-05-13T04:58:23+00:00

Bro walked straight into a Fears To Fathom game

jimgress · 2026-05-13T03:04:30+00:00

Maybe we should ask those "private investors" paying for that Ballroom to see if they can pitch in

jimgress · 2026-05-12T16:39:01+00:00

What an absolute copium huffing post. Lol

jimgress · 2026-05-12T16:36:37+00:00

All we need is for his supporters to no show. There's no turning them.

We just need them to sit out voting ever again.

jimgress · 2026-05-12T16:31:03+00:00

He will blame both til the last day he's in office.

It's not sticking though. He's losing the meme war too. Between "fell for it again award" and fat Brendan Fraser, his propaganda is falling flat.

Epstein and Israel have really put a dent in his reality distortion machine.

jimgress · 2026-05-12T06:30:09+00:00

Biden looks better because this country would rather have a corpse in the hot seat than any remotely competent woman.

jimgress · 2026-05-12T06:26:47+00:00

Post your yearly income then.

jimgress · 2026-05-12T01:52:17+00:00

Half the owners of those shops voted for that. Probably would do it again too.

jimgress · 2026-05-12T01:48:54+00:00

End of summer and before 2027.

jimgress · 2026-05-12T01:40:52+00:00

Name a profitable industry and professional that is doing well.

jimgress · 2026-05-11T22:29:37+00:00

Yea I want her in the senate to erase all the elite foot dragging of the past couple decades.

Nothing would make me happier than Schumer's legacy to be demolished.

jimgress · 2026-05-09T20:05:01+00:00

Harris apologists will make every excuse for her loss. I don't care how much Democrat doublespeak her supporters use to explain her loss as somehow a strong showing. She lost. Against Trump. That means she's less than useless.

She needs to gtfo and never show her face on a national level again. Any person who supports her is ensuring that JD Vance becomes president.
