Is there a small printer with ease of use and quality comparable to the A1 mini?

I was gonna get that one but the drama with BL has got me looking for alternatives.

My priorities are ease of use (no tinkering) and small size

Thanks!

I heard about the Creality Hi Combo from Frankly Built. It's a blatant copy of the A1 Mini but with a better AMS system.

I would not trust Crealty. They have a long ways to go to get over the "We don't care about customers" And the "We got your money, now get out of here. You bother me kid" mentality. They've sold too much junk for too long.
