A lot of people recommending Bambu. I'd be wary of them because of everything recently. Prusa is top notch but pricey. Mk4 or CoreOne. If you're willing to spend a bunch of time tinkering Creality is good budget. If you want to just print and don't care about open source Bambu is still good.
Yeah that's totally fair. I've never had to do that (except hotend but that was by choice) on my Creality but I've had to put a bunch of work into it to get it consistent. Prusa and Bambu are about as consistent and print out-of-the-box as you can get with a 3dprinter.
Yikes that's bad. Looking at the price and style of the Artillery Genius, you may be well served by an Ender 3v3 SE. The Bambu A1 is also really good but they're pretty closed and have done some shenanigans lately to fully close. If you don't mind some extra money the Prusa Mk4 is great.
Also recommending Bambu. We have two X1C printers at my job that get constant use. Takes any filament you can throw at it and prints basically everything without a problem. If you don’t need to do super high temp nylon/ABS printing then you can go with a P1S which is mostly the same for a lot less.
+1. If you want a machine as a tool rather than as a hobby Bambu is the current go-to. A friend runs a farm of x1c units with minimal problems. Another friend is using an A1 to good effect. Prusa has good offerings but they're no longer the clear frontrunner they once were.
