✅ Which printer in 2026 for someone who wants to print replacement parts, not fiddle?

Knobs, brackets, appliance parts, the occasional jig. I do not want a hobby, I want a tool.

A Bambu A1 or P1S if you want zero fiddling and closed-ish ecosystem, a Prusa MK4S if you want open and repairable. Either one prints PETG and ASA for functional parts out of the box. For appliance parts near heat, learn ASA. For everything else PETG.

Second the P1S for parts. The enclosure matters once you print ASA.
