Which Core XY printer? (lemmy.world)

I’ve been wanting to get a 3d printer for a while and now I’m starting to finally look at getting one. It seems like in general though finding clear reviews and knowledge on printers is much harder than other things but maybe that’s because I’m not in the hobby yet. Bambu is a no from me but I’m open to other options. I was kinda looking at he centauri carbon but I’ve heard it’s pretty loud and I live in a small apartment. The Prusa Core One seems like a decent option but it’s all quite expensive so I don’t wanna save up for that unless it really is the best option and there’s nothing reasonable cheaper. What’s everyone’s thoughts? Absolute max budget is $1k but I would strongly prefer to spend something ~$500 or less

I have a carbon as well and it is louder than I'd like. But with that said it's no louder (with the enclosure open) than my old Ender 3S1. The real noise comes from the enclosure fan which is optional if you're printing PLA.

I haven't tried any sound dampening mods to it though. I have the luxury of being able to stick it in a closet when it's working.

With it all considered I would definitely recommend it for it's price point and how well it prints for a novice hobbyist like myself. It's really close to "set it and forget it"
