Bambu obviously killed it.

I follow 3d printing pretty close but can't claim to be an expert. With that said, I truly thought they served different consumer segments with the only overlap being those who bought a Prusa pre-assembled beleving it to be a one stop shop machine. Bambu is a black box from China for an end user with little knowledge or care of maintaining a machine themselves (down to printing replacement parts)

Bambu Labs' quality and feature set is much, much higher and larger than Prusa's, and the price is right. Prusa bet on people wanting to continually fiddle with their 3D printer, but that segment is already niche and likely dying off.

Most fiddling these days have to do with the printing surface being unclean. I also experienced issues with my X1C too.

But the most common problem is the surface is unclean(on both printers), and my soap to water formulation not being quite dialed in.

What printing surface are you using? I use a PEI sheet that I clean with straight isopropyl alcohol, and I almost never have issues.

I always use IPA to clean the bed too.

I have once used glue for a very thin print with lots of intricate holes in it.
