I know they get a lot of hate in the HN community but my Bambu Labs P1S is mind blowing. It’s so easy to use I print 100x more than with my old Ender. It’s motivated me to learn Fusion360 … i’m actually printing droids for my kids to color this very minute.

Enders were... not a great experience. I understand they were in a good price spot at the time, but from my experience and from what I gather online, very finicky. People who liked tinkering with the printer itself loved and recommended them because 3D printing became a skill of its own (Not for the design considerations in the article, but to make the equipment work consistently).

I've heard that Bambus are much better. I have a Raise3D E2 from the Ender era, and it's rock solid. A step up in price, but no finicking. Just works, when new, and now.

My Prusa Mk3 had perfect prints too and now I have a Bambu P1S.

I got a budget printer in 2017 and that’s when I learned that tinkering was not for me.
