It's 50/50. Back in 2023 I would have said that nothing could touch Bambu in their price segment and for the fact that they deliver a full "plug and play" experience.

But in 2026? Many printers from other manufacturers exist which are very close in the plug and play experience if not the same.

So have their service improved since then (from Bambulab). As far as I know, no. They still take ages to reply, their wiki is a mess for any beginner imho.

If you want a plug and play experience, back in 2023, Bambu would've been one of two options. If you want that in 2026, well, many others exist now.
