I bought a trodon 2.0 when they first came out. It’s been rock solid. I also have 2 qidi max3s. They’ve been equally rock solid. My trodon is still reprap based and the wiring is proprietary so getting input shaping would take some work. It’s build into the qidis so i can push them harder. I haven’t priced the voron clones lately but when i got mine it was about $400 more than i paid for my qidis. And it was totally disassembled (other than the gantry iirc). Given that, when i got my 3rd replacement printer, it was another qidi. All these new printers are head and shoulders above the ones i started with (cr10, ender 5). I sometimes miss the tinkering the old ones required, but i don’t miss the failed prints 65 hrs into a 70 hr job for some stupid crap that was more prevalent back then.
