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.
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.
Long story short, it started clogging from day 1. No matter what I did and how many times I unclogged it, it would continue to clog. It took about 3 months to get the issue fixed. To be fair though, a lot of those 3 months were me being out of the country and/or not feeling like dealing with a clogged printer.
Credit to Elegoo's customer service who were pretty good about helping out. They sent me a replacement extruder at no cost, which didn't help with the clogging issue. They ended up sending me the entire printer head and that finally fixed the problem. Now that it's working, I have to say at times it prints better than my P1S.
Would I suggest this printer? Yeah if you aren't a total noob to 3D printing. If you are and just want the most minimal hassle, I suggest waiting for a sale and spending a little bit more for a Bambu.

If you need AMS today, look elsewhere but if you aren't worried about AMS, it makes a great beginner printer.
