Not OP but recently I was in the market for a printer. I was looking at the Bambu P1S and Prusa MK4.

I’m all for open source and really wanted to support Prusa but the MK4 costs an extra $100 (more if you don’t build it yourself), doesn’t have an enclosure, and the MK4 has a 7-8 week lead time while the P1S ships next day

I’m not proud of it but I got the P1S

Yeah but the Prusa is made in Europe and the Bambulabs is made in China.

I'd happily spend an extra $100 to support a European country over china. Fuck china.
