I've been thinking about getting a Prusa 3D printer for a long time, but now I'm leaning towards a Bambu Lab X1-Carbon Combo 3D printer. It looks really cool and seems like a more professional tool. Has anyone tried both? What would you recommend? EDIT: I read some of the other comments in this thread and did some more research. Found some Reddit posts as well. I think I'll definitely go with the Bambu Lab printer.

I don't own either (I have an Anycubic Vyper) but the two are not at all in the same category. The Bambu totally outclasses the Prusa printers, but the price is also a lot higher.

  It's actually not. The MK4 competes with Bambu P1P which is cheaper, and the X1 Carbon Combo should be compared to a MK4 with an enclosure and a MMU3 and then Bambu comes out on top again.

Core xy motion system is hands down a faster setup. Also has a smaller footprint for the same printable area. And enclosed means you can do asa and Abs and nylons as a normal think. No matter what, make sure it’s in a room with an air filter and active ventilation. Safety matters. There’s a lot of really cool open source printer designs too, and having an abs/asa capable machine really makes a lot more cool prjects possible. I got the x1cc and I’ve been really happy so far. My biggest problem was accidentally printing pla as asa and I still managed to make ok but weird prints
