Which printer? Just bought a $400 elegoo neptune 4 pro a summer ago and it has been well worth it. Even though my petg prints have been shit.

I pulled out all the stops and grabbed a Bambu X1C with AMS combo when they were on sale back in July. It's probably overkill, and aim not a huge fan of their closed ecosystem, but I did have the money, and I also need to do true engineering materials that are difficult at best on lower end non-enclosed printers.
The main thing that sold me was my experience using P1S printers at college. Theyre super fast and rarely have issues.

I've really had zero problems with it. Every single print failure to date has been filament wet out of the box from Bambu, so I'm designing up a custom drying box right now to fix that problem. If you're having problems with petg, definitely re-dry any filament you have lying around.

Because of the closed source nature of it, I won't get one even if they're better in some aspects. I think Prusa is catching up, so I would want to try those out.
