Quote from EfficientPicture535 :
I am looking to find a 3D printer for commercial purposes, obviously in that scenario bed size and print speed are king - but I am a bit overwhelmed by all the options between Bambu, Flashforge, Creality, Elegoo etc.

And I am sure there are other things that I am not taking into consideration that would maybe stand out to some more experienced printers.

Wondering if y'all have any suggestions on where to start here, I'm trying to end up in the $500 range but obviously don't mind more investment if it'll really count.
If you're in the $500 range, may as well go for the new Bambu P2S, which is $549 without the AMS. I highly doubt another printer will beat the P2S at that price point anytime soon, but I would love to hear otherwise (genuinely curious)

I've been researching these for like a year now and still sitting on the fence because my old printer just won't die.
I'd go flashforge 5m pro over this if you don't mind the $100 premium, but the new Bambu P2S is likely the winner if you can go to $550.

Pick your pricepoint, pick your poison.
They all work great, just less opportunity for headaches as you go up the price scale.

Quote from BilboMcBaggins69 :
Such a shady company. They advertised that an AMS was coming for this printer, but now they've shifted all attention to their new Century Carbon 2 model instead. There are rumors that the AMS will eventually be compatible with this one, but nothing has been confirmed.

They also use sketchy "pre-order" tactics- they claim special pre-order pricing, but it never changes. This printer was supposedly $299 during preorder with a "retail" price of $500, yet it's still $299 months later. Apparently, all their printers follow the same pricing gimmick.
All considering this was all before Trump's tariffs they're holding on pretty good price wise. Specially when prices of everything else practically going up.

Looks like I might just have to be patient for the stock to drop!

Yes P2S when it comes out is your best bet.

Still a damn good printer for $300. I just hit print and it prints. At a nice quality as well.
If you need AMS today, look elsewhere but if you aren't worried about AMS, it makes a great beginner printer.
The issue is the pre-order units lack some upgrades that have made, all without changing the price. The early buyers didn't get any sort of discount and did product testing for Elegoo with no benefit to them.

The flashforge 5m pro is $270-300 on aliexpress after discount.

Other than unsubstantiated rumors, what real news is there about version 2? I've yet to see anything that looked remotely legitimate.

This is an excellent printer for the price. 4 months in and I'm loving it. No real issues.
