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.

My Prusa i3 Mk3 treated me quite well - it wasn't "out of the box" printing (even accounting for the fact that I got a kit version), but once I got it dialed in, I could just keep printing without having to fix things and retune.

Most definitely not "out of the box" is a Voron 2.4, which is my current printer. It was, however, so much fun to build and get running.
