I'm not the person you asked, but depending on what kinds of quality of life improvements you're looking for, your budget, your 3D design abilities, and your tolerance for working on the printer versus printing with it, the answer will vary in terms of what works for you.

If you're casually interested, the Bambu Lab A1 combo will do most things you'd want it to do, fairly reliably, but with a closed ecosystem.

If you want something more robust, go for a Prusa, but be ready for a more hands on experience.

If you want an entirely customized bespoke with a high learning curve, go for a Voron.



If you want something more open source go for a Prusa. I don't buy that a Prusa is more robust than a Bambu.

I used to have a Prusa Mini and now have a Bambu X1C and it is a world of difference. I would never go back.
