Hello all

First post and just looking at getting into 3D printing. Looking into buying a Printer for work purposes as a innovation trial. Budget isn't really limited but no point in wasting money.

I was originally looking at the Ultimaker S7 Combo printer and inquired about that. The seller recommended the Markforged Mark Two Carbon printer instead. Both these are around 20k per printer.

After listening to some podcasts and doing research i came across the Bambu X1 Carbon printer which is only around 2k for the combo version.

I am brand new to the print scene and asked the seller the major difference between brands for the difference in price but didn't get much an answer.

Anyone know these printers and can provide a recommendation or explanation why the major price difference?

Thanks!!!

Mike
