At the very bottom are reviews. At least two other people had the same catastrophic failure, and the warehouse is unresponsive about replacements.

Granted, my model is the Plus version, but it's a larger bed and this damaged part is also bad. There seems to be replacement nozzles, but that's it for parts. I emailed the store by replying to my email from when I bought it six months ago.

Bottom line: Can anyone recommend a different printer? Bambu's scaring me with their proprietary firmware stuff, so I want to avoid them. Creality's kinda burned me here.

I've heard of Prusa, but is that the only other option?

I have the V3 KE and it has been excellent. I did go round and tighten all the screws I could find after I assembled it, and a number of them did need it. So far I have had no probs with the printer, just a learning process to tune a few things that didn't work well out of the box, like setting z-hop. I've not needed Creality's support, which I've heard is not all that responsive but quite generous when you do manage to eventually connect with them.
