I was planning to get a bamboo, was saving up for it. Money will go to a resin printer from someone else now.

I still wouldn't go resin. Believe me it isn't worth it unless 80% of your use case is miniatures.

Minis are probably more than 80% of my use case

Then I would 100% get a resin printer

Resin printer at home and Filament printer at work, and I'd agree. I get great detail and very little visible layering on the minis I print at home, but pretty much anything else, I'd rather use the filament.

You shouldn't even consider an FDM printer in that case, let alone one from Bambu.

The fdm isn’t for minis, I already have two and I was looking at something that could do multiple filaments. I mostly use them for printing scenery and random stuff for other people. It’s nice to have an fdm for quick and dirty stuff.

Same here. Looks like I’ll be going the Prusa route.
