My 3D Printers

These are the 3D printers I currently own… even though the first (and oldest) isn’t really in use any more.
My picks for Beginners are at the bottom!

Tenlog Hands 2: My first 3D Printer, and somehow I have 2 of these. They are IDEX, but have never really worked. I hate them. (Seriously… even though this is what got me into 3D printing, which is why I still have them…. and I can’t find anyone to buy them!)

Longer LK5PRO: I also have 2 of these. They’re pretty awesome after I put ABL kits on them and Marlin 2.

SnapMaker J1: This is a really awesome IDEX machine. Works great, but way more expensive than it should be.

Creality K1: Works great, makes really nice prints when I’m not tinkering with settings. Wish it had a bigger buildplate.

Bambu P1S: Love the multi-color capability. And fast, especially if you have a print you can bump the speed up on… Ludicrous Speed is… well, you know! Works great most of the time… when I use good filament.

Bambu A1 Mini: Also multi-color, but small. Even so, this may be my favorite printer! Fast, easy, pretty quiet and it just… works!

MY PICK FOR BEGINNERS (Price, Ease & Quality):
1. For the price and ease, without the AMS, the P1 (especially the P1P) and A1 printers are my picks for beginners! The ability to upgrade to multi-color down the road is awesome.
2. The Creality Ender 3 v2 or v3 are great machines as well, and I have experience using these with friends. The new v3 has a built in ABL (auto bed leveling) system, but if you go cheap on the v2, make sure to add that on. You won’t be sorry!
