Gonna “both sides” this one…

I’ve never used a prusa printer, but know two people that swear by them. I know 2 with P1P’s (including me)and one with an X1C. I can attest that it’s a great printer.

Now, the open source nature of the Prusia is the clear winner in the privacy arena, but ask yourself if the rest of your network/hardware is as locked down as you want your printer to be? I’d be willing to bet a surprising number of people who tout this as their number one concern about BambuLabs printers are using Windows.

Also, you can print just fine using other slicers and dropping your files on an SD card, never having to connect your printer to the internet at all with the Bambu printers. But they do sort of lead you down the networked path without expressly telling you that it will work offline.

Not going to get into specs, price or any of that shit, just saying both printers are great and more than capable of what the majority of FDM users want from their machines. I’d love to go Voron all the way, bit I do not have the time to commit to the building/calibration or testing.

Tl;dr… this doesn’t need to turn into a bloods vs crips argument about which printer is better
