Thanks a ton for that response, that K3 seems actually pretty good, i have no idea what good features are / should be, but i trust it is modern and works. One question does it have auto calibration? I read some are manual… would it do multi color / could i upgrade towards it? I prefer being able to do that rather than order and wait again…. How does it compare to the sovol i heard a lot about?
And the software. Can i customise it / control it through my homelab?
It can be upgraded to do multi color, but it wouldn't be as seamless as the Bambu sadly.
From some quick research, while the Sovol SV06 and Ender v3 KE have auto calibration, the Sovol requires you to set the z-offset (just once, in one location) after auto bed levelling has completed. However the Ender v3 KE is fully automatic and does not require any kind of user input after the auto levelling has completed
The printers that run open source Klipper firmware, like the Sovol SV06 and Ender v3 KE, can be customized and controlled through your homelab network out-of-the-box. I'm not too familiar if the same is possible for the Bambu - I'm aware you can control it via their mobile app and slicer software, but you won't have the option of configuring more advanced settings that would be possible on a Klipper-based printer.
Thanks so much that was very informative! You all helped so much, i am grateful
