Get the Creality K1 max instead of either. No dated design like in Prusa. And it's open enough and easily hackable to repair and modify as needed.
I get all the arguments for Prusa, but right now there's no excuse for how far behind they are in the industry. I would not invest in their machines until they do some catching up. What you get from them does not justify the price. They got complacent.
While Creality is not as open as Prusa it's not as closed down as Bambu. Their parts tend to be more off the shelf and readily available, and they are also cloned by lots of other manufacturers.
The machine will be repairable and have lots of community support for many years to come.
I have a K1 and was wondering if it would be mentioned. In the beginning I had extrusion problems, I contacted Creality and they had new, redesigned parts in my hand in a week. Since then it has been a workhorse, slapping perfect prints down every time.
I am deciding between the a1 or k1 since microcenter has the k1 for $430.
Did creality get the lidar workin?
I have a ender 3 v2 and flsun super racer and wanted a third printer to speed things up
