The quality/price of Bambu always stopped me from getting a 3D printer. Meaning - it was the best product at the best price point but I couldn't justify the walled garden. The competitors at the time were more expensive and not as good.
But that was a few years ago. What's the scene like now? Is there a comparable product to Bambu's X1 carbon (or whatever the current model is)
[Edit] I am not opposed to assembly but one of the appealing things about Bambu is how simple the initial setup is. I really don't want to spend hours tweaking before my first print lol
