Well I wasn't planning on buying this printer today but here I am.... Didn't get permission from the wife.... God save my soul
I bought one last week, and my mistake, I didn't move it out of the middle of the kitchen in time after it got delivered.I got the, "what the hell is in this big box?" Sheepishly replied, "a 3D printer." It resulted in an eye roll and a "just get it out of the way."

As a complete beginner who was going to pick up a bambulab a1, is this the better printer for price? Wanted to mostly print practical things for the house but also interested in dabbling in small figures and miniatures even though I know resin is superior for that.

Still so tempted but my Centauri Carbons are doing so well. I do sometimes wish for the Multi Material which is really the only reason I would get one
I have the CC as well. The multi-material System for it should be announced some time this month.

Coming from an Ender v2, what does the slicer/toolchain look like on this? Is it just drag and drop an stl?

Just curious if I'm going to have to relearn everything as the main thing that makes this appealing is the multi-color printing.

Does this come with starter filament? Are the replacement filaments proprietary?

There's a small amount of filament included for test prints. There is Anycubic branded filament you can get with RFID tags to be more seamless, but I've been using Sunlu PLA without any problem so far.

looks tempting at $224 with free shipping, but I'm a bit wary—many users in previous threads ended up receiving the V2 version instead of the AE, which could mean inconsistencies in specs or features. Just a heads-up to double-check if you're getting exactly what's advertised...
The V2 is an upgraded newer model. Most would consider this a bonus.

V2 was shipped out as the AE stocks ran out.

I'm constantly getting Error 11518 clogging detected on this one uses anycubic pla+ and the filament is always stuck in between the extractor gears which is a very weird position. Fan is working temp is good. Considering returning it and getting S1 see if it can do better.

I was freaking staring at this last night and regretting that I didn't pick it up a week ago. Trying to look around my house for something I can sell to justify.
