My Prusa just always works. I spend virtually zero time doing maintenance or any kind of tuning.
If you’re spending that much time fiddling with it, sounds like you either have much a much better eye for print quality than I do or you got a dud.
It makes a big difference if you're painting the prints - things that look okay out of the printer will turn into a disaster once paint brings out all the details.
People are getting great quality out of the Bambus now - basically a slight tier below Resin, without any of the health issues that require PPE.

(Old video, state of the art has advanced since. Also, the issue with his other printer turned out to be a simple maintenance item (dirty pulley) the video maker skipped over in Bambu's basic troubleshooting guide.)
If you want to print warhammer miniatures or similar the Prusa core 1 is equivalent to a Bambu X1. And it’s the same price.
