Currently printing on an anycubic photon D2 ultra, have a prusa XL on order for my FDM machine. Last FDM was a monoprice maker select + that was a workhorse for years before I gave it to a friend when I moved in may.

Snapmaker2 A150, which is actually a 3D printer/laser etcher/CNC three-in-one. A very small one (160x160x150mm print volume), but then I don't have space for anything larger. Not the fastest printer, but good enough for the (Kickstarter-backer) price that I paid for it and it worked adequately out of the box.
Wanhao i3 Duplicator was my first printer. Used it for ever but I finally gave up on it after countless hours modifying and upgrading it.
Bought a p1p and holy shit is this thing amazing. I should have done this so much sooner.
Just built and enclosure for the p1p, and I am going to salvage what I can from the i3 and make a voron 0.2
I'm using a Prusa Mini, works perfectly, no tuning, but I want to get an 0.6mm nozzle at some point.
Primary: Artillery Sidewinder X1, absolutely stock except for parts that needed replacement but even those are just part swap, no upgrades or mods.
Secondary: MP Select mini Frame and some motors. The board is the motherboard form a Tronxy X5S. the bed is a manual replacement from an off brand and it has an off the shelf 12 V 300W PSU.
AnyCubic Chiron. Still going after many years, though sometimes I do need to spritz the plate with cheap hairspray to help adhesion
All my printing is done at my local makerspace. We have:
3 x Ultimaker 2
3 x Ultimaker 2 extended
Formlabs Form 3b
Markforged mkII
Most of my printing is in the Ultimakers but I use the form 3b for anything small or that needs that extra find detail. I havent found a good reason to use the Markforged yet (the consumables are quite expensive) but should be fun when the need arises :)
Bought Ultimaker 2+ long time ago. Its amazing and it is a reason why my older prusa like printer is collecting dust. I wouldnt buy it again tho, because there are much cheaper printers available
Makerbot replicator 2. Old as hell but still gets the job done for my limited purposes.
Prusa Mini+
Creality CR10 - Almost every aspect of it was upgraded.
- Control box delete, relocated electronics/psu under the frame.
- Dual z leadscrews with anti-backlash nuts and oldham couplers
- Linear rails for XY Axis
- Bigger XY stepper motors
- HeroMe Gen 7: Dual 5015 cooling fans
- Nocuta 40mm hotend fan
- Noctua 40mm electronics fan
- BLTouch
- Orbiter v2.0
- Spider 3.0 hotend w/ MicroSwiss .4/.6 Nozzle
- SKR E3 Mini V3
- Raspberry Pi (OctoPrint)
- Removable PEI Sheet -Solid Bed mount
I can print just under 190mm/s at volumetric flow rates of 20-25mm3/s. Also gonna try out those CHT nozzles and see if they can help with flow rates too.
I am planning on getting a lighter y carriage and lighter alu bed and see if i can go faster
Also upgrading to an AC powered bed. Probably going to leave it with the 12v PSU, once i get the AC powered bed.
Hotend doesn't take long to heat up unlike the bed almost 16-18 mins to 90c.
I will probably be getting a prusa mk4 or BambuLabs x1c as my next printer then a Voron. Once I get one of these my Prusa Mini will be converted to coreXY.
