    I used to run a small print farm during COVID. I learned to hate fixing my printers. I never want to worry about leveling my beds or account for print vibration or worry about bed buildup or even look at my printer outside of the standard maintenance. I just want to print. Lol.

    The Anker looks interesting. I think if I was in the market for a Cartesian style printer, I would pay the 100 bucks more and pick up a Prusa MK4S instead.

      I think you might be surprised by how far 3d printing has come, Really none of that is a concern anymore, even with basic printers. Heck, most printers don’t even have an option for bed leveling.

        Wwwwhhhhaaaaattttt?!?!?! Really? That sounds awesome.

        In the past most of the cheaper printers didnt have bed levelers anyways. It’s always the paper method.

        I installed 9x9 BLtouch for all my printers which helped a bunch, but when you’re printing 16 hours a day, the build up on the bed requires that I relevel the bed.

        I really hope you’re right. It was pretty hell back then.
