first 3d printer: Bambu A1 or Ender V3?

[hardstone1664]

Hi,

I am going to buy my first 3d printer..it is just for fun...and I am a complete beginner in 3d printing.

So I want to use the 3d printer to create some monster figures...

Now I have come up with 2 different brands:

Creality 3d printer and I might buy this one at the local store (so I don't need to wait for the delivery)

or

Bambu A1, because this is what some people recommend to me.

Please feel free to share your thoughts, Thanks!​

I would say for ease of use and a slightly bigger print bed get the Bambu A1.

I own 3 Creality Printers. Creality likes to "over saturate the market with lots and lots of models!" yet they fail to explain what makes each printer stand out from the rest.
Eager customer becomes confused.
They like to hear what they are actually buying and what features they are getting for their money.

Just buy the Bambu A1.

I like to tinker with things, so I use Creality printers. I did not say I like Creality. I like to tinker. Do you like to tinker with things, or do you just want to start printing things now?

Hey! Both are great choices, but if you want something budget friendly with a solid community, Creality is a safe bet. If you’re looking for premium features and easy setup, the Bambu A1 is worth considering.

I disagree with the words "Safe bet". Creality is a risky bet for non technical people.
