Mr beast has 7 monies. That's 9 more monies than I have
Orca slicer is a fork of Prusaslicer
Yeah Bambu Studio is available and works fine on Manjaro (I'm too lazy to build arch from scratch nowadays), obviously ymmv on another distro.
Bambu firmware is closed source. I'm 100% happy with my Bambu, but that being said, Prusa makes amazing printers. However, like everything else, it comes with a price. Buying used is an option, just note you'll ideally want to see it in person and printing before plunking down cash. As good as their printers are, you could still be buying someone else's problem.
Totally agree on the core xy printers, I think OP was trying to keep cost under $500, so that would limit to P1P, but still a great printer, you can add the enclosure kit later if you want. I'm interested in the Sovol SV08, basically a Voron clone for $579 USD. I just don't want to be the 1st on to try it 🤣
You can use OrcaSlicer, another Prusaslicer fork
I second Bambu printers. My P1S was as simple as taking it out of the box, pulling out the included accessories, take out three screws that keep the bed from moving during shipping, plug in cord. During setup it will run a self-calibration routine and you're all set. I thought I liked tinkering with my Ender 3v2, but when I needed to print, a failure would cost me time, effort and money. Stick with the better printers if you can afford it.
Ngl that's fucking genius
I'd just search YT or the regular interwebs for tutorials on designing compliant mechanisms in CAD (pick upur favorite software). I know Teaching Tech has done a couple videos on this
