This Episodes Questions:

Hello to a fellow Hoosier and the J's,

I have almost bought a printer for at least 15 years, almost bought a makerbot, almost bought a RepRap, but always got discouraged at their difficulty to use. I put purchasing one on the back burner. In December 2024 I purchased a Bambu P1S. This printer is great and just works. But, it's boring. I need to tinker. I'm just a hobbyist at this point. I can see making and selling stuff down the road. My question is which printer on the market now is in need of more user input to operate? Something more equivalent to driving a manual transmission versus an automatic.
Thanks.
Clint

Just found your podcast and I’m binging it from the beginning forward.

I apologize if you’ve tackled this before-
As a very low volume hobbyist, I find myself  infrequently printing one or two of a small item I’ve identified a need for.
Here, time, within reason, is no issue. I dont really care if a part takes 2 hours or 6 hours to print. Print quality, however, is an issue. So I’d sacrifice a great deal of speed to get better quality on the first try
Do you have advice for settings  that prioritize quality over speed?  Thank you!! Gregory

I am looking at a flashforge 5m pro, k1c, or flsun t1 pro as a first printer. All three are very close in cost. I have some cnc experience but no 3d printing experience. I am looking for a fast way to prototype and will eventually want to use nylon and cf materials.  I would love a bigger printer but believe it is probably better to stay small for now.

Things I care about.
1. Ease of use. Easily number one.
2. Safety/ filtering, although I know i can add filters.
3. Consistency
4. Versatility.
5. I'm not interested in bambu.
Again, thanks for your time and love the podcast. Appreciate any insight you can give me.
Cheers. Lewis
