I was thinking to get Bambu Lab P2S combo or Creality K2 Pro, and start with AMS shades for my radion :D
I highly recommend the Bambu line of printers! I have an A1 myself and absolutely love it. The simplicity of use, and the efficiency of those printers is nice!

It depends on what your interests are. Creality is open source and highly modifiable. However it can take a while to dial in settings to get a good print. This is the old school part of the hobby where people enjoy the tinkering. If you just want to have good prints out of the box with limited adjustments and less tinkering, Bambulab is the way to go. I also prefer BL because I tinker with designs, and don’t want to spend my time messing with the printer itself. But everyone has different preferences. I have a Creality Ender 3 v3 KE as well. I use it for TPU prints now.

I want as simple experience as possible out of the box to dont get ovethelmed, and then slowly try making my own stuff, so open print bunch of usefull stuff and slowly in bacground learn how to change studf or make my own stuff, how to use all this fancy sounding 3d modeling apps

Then Bambu is the best answer! I would start playing around on TinkerCad as well. It's a free to use website that makes making models very easy.

Frag plugs, Frag plug sticks, LED Shade, a feeding ring, Shelves for in the cabinet, Overflow baffle (fish too small), Adapters, Random flow generators... honestly its endless.. The best part i like is designing my own things for my own needs.. You're gonna love it..
I am fascinated by this especially the large items. What software do you need or other things to design projects?

I just usually find designs that fit and are made already but some things I find I have to alter myself.. I just use the Bambu app or tinkercad.. Seems to be fine for me.. Don't need to pay for the fusion 360 program or anything like that..

Avoid the Creality. I've had them and to be frank, they just don't work unless you spend a week adjusting them before attempting. I trashed it and got a Bambu and was printing 15 minutes after I took it out of the box. Amazing printers!
I second this. I had a creality ender 3 for 8 years. I got so tired of fixing it, I stopped printing for a while. I just got a bambu p1S and it's like night and day. 3D printers have become basically plug and play.
