We are a small automation startup in Europe. Our usual workflows include manufacturing a custom brackets, cases, etc. for out custom control equipment. We previously outsource everything to local shops, and recently switched to owning our own printing cluster. Started with 5 prusas and had to fix and repair things always. PLA dont stick to the bed at all. Switched to bambu recently and printing with ABS now with zero concerns. Printed >500 enclosures on 3x bambu X1s, much faster and better quality than 5x prusas. My personal recommendation for anyone who wants to print a lot with minimal maintenance. Bambu is slightly more expensive but ROI is very short compared to prusa in the short term


Hopefully this will make prusament way cheaper. I've since switched to SUNLU filament for my staple materials but I always try to grab a roll or two of prusament when I need parts for my prusa. It's just a step above everything else.


i'm glad Printed Solid was the choice.

they're a great company and as a 3dp enthusiast they have been supporting my hobby for years; plus after having dealt with lots of different groups in that same arena I can say that they are noticeably more professional in their mannerisms when communicating with their customers than their peers.
