I am looking to buy a 3D printer which will be used in my small business size of about 20 people. We sometimes need little parts made for holding littles pieces of equipment and after seeing a similar lab to us use 3D Printing to make little holders for their antennas, we are looking at buying one ourselves.

What can you guys recommend? So far I have seen this video which suggests the Bambulab P1P, or the Prusa mk3S+ Kit.

I think we will most likely buy the Bambulab P1P as this guy suggests. However he did say that its not great for fixing. “Fixing or replacing parts does not appear to be anywhere near as user friendly or even possible in some cases”

How hard is it to build the Prusa mk3S+ Kit yourself in case we decide we want to have the Prusa given it is more easily fixable? We would prefer the Bambulab as it prints faster and is slightly larger, but might not get it due to the fact its not as easy to fix stuff.

    Ender 3 V2 Neo. Low cost, good quality, easy to put together, and includes most of the “upgrades” you would usually end up buying separately anyway (auto-leveling, etc.). Good entry-level printer that performs very well and will handle most anything you throw at it (large bulky parts, or small detailed miniatures). May be all you need for a good long while. I’ve had mine printing 2-3 things a week for a year and a half without any issue.
