Opinions on latest (2023) gen 3d printers?

Highly recommend the Bambu Labs X1 Carbon. The number of features that it has that previously would have been reserved for much more expensive professional printers is simply amazing.
I am still blown away that they are able to sell it at the current price, and I’m convinced they will raise the price at some point.

Our team has 2 Prusa minis (and access to 10 MakerBots), but almost all of the printed parts on our robot were made on our lead mentors personal X1C.

After our experience printing swerve wheels at our first event, out team decided to order their own X1C and it already arrived and was put to work making parts before and during our second event.

Our lead mentor had a fan start making noise on his and chatting with support thru the app went very smoothly for him (athough TBF they do take most of a day to respond). After sending a video of the noise, they sent him a coupon code for the value of the bad fan + $15 for shipping. He was then able to add the fan to his next fillament order and save the $15 since the order got free shipping.
