Hi folks,

I’ve been watching too many video reviews and just want a little bit of advice before I make my purchase. I’m wanting to get into 3d printing with the most satisfying results possible for around $600 CAD .

I’m looking at the Ender 5 S1 , currently for $599 CAD on Amazon. It does what I want , I think, it gets nice and hot (300C) , can use lots of different materials, auto levels, uses.usb and wifi, is quick and has a cube frame.

I suspect I would be quite happy with it. But before I go and pull the trigger, is there anything else around this price range , say plus or minus $100 , that would be better? If so what advice can you give? What models should I investigate.

    The bambulabs p1p. It just dropped in price to $599 USD. Not sure what that exchange rate is.

    It is an absolutely freaking fantastic printer. I have been kicking myself for days now for not buying this thing sooner.

    It sucks that it’s not open source, but if you want a no fuss printer that just works, the p1p is hands down the best available on the market at that price point.

      739$ CAD which I would say is in the price range. I’ll look up some reviews and tutorials thanks.

        Yea man. You have any questions just hit me up. Like I said I’ve only had mine a few weeks but holy hell is it night and day between this and my last printer.
