Hey, I am looking for an advice on buying my second printer. I am looking for a machine that prints every day for 10+ hours mostly without me looking at it. Which one is better for the task?

Currently I'm deciding between Bambulab A1 and Sovol sv06 ace +. They cost more or less the same in my part of the world and sovol has a bigger print volume and seemingly less scummy (to date) company behind it. While bambu is super popular and pretty reliable.

I'd probably go with the Sovol...both of these printer are going to take a beating with that kind of use and I think that one will be cheaper to service in the long run...and you're going to service them a lot printing that much.

To be honest in the last five month of using a1 mini in similar conditions only thing that required replacement is nozzle, everything else still works great.
