I've been running my Creality CR6 SE (kickstarter edition) for a few years now, and now considering an upgrade to add to the fleet. But I'm way out of the loop on what would be a good robust and reliable option these days. Would love some recommendations on what to look for in a new printer, and maybe which printers the community would agree are solid choices. I already have a good resin printer, so specifically looking at just FDM printers.

If you want something that runs flawlessly out of the box, get a Bambu labs printer. My p1p (upgraded to p1s spec) can handle anything I throw at it. Regularly printing nylon at near perfect quality.

Unless the cloud server encounters an error again.

Don't they have some proprietary cloud thing?

You can run their machines in LAN only mode that never touches the cloud

Does it support normal slicers like Cura and upload over LAN, or does it have to use proprietary software?

The ftp credentials were reverse engineered, not sure about slicer support with regards to the AMS and filament selection
