But then you wouldn't have the chance to tinker the printer when it gets broken every chance you use it

I keep telling people, the bambu labs printers, while costly, they are very worth the price since they do such a good job at printing things without tinkering and fixing while also still being relatively straightforward to repair if needed albeit it isn't as easy as something bare bones like a ender. And they offer really advanced features.
