This is their cheaper option, not the one that came on Kickstarter. This printer is amazing, haven't turned my prusa on in months because this is just so much faster. Just ordered my second one so feel free to ask any questions.
Also, didn't Dyson basically invent the high powered stick vacuum market and pretty consistently win performance tests against both traditional vaccums as well as other cheaper models?

Is this the most overhyped 3d printer of all time? $1k MSRP, $700 kickstarter, tons of marketing in every website & youtube channel. Now at $600. Does it not sell?
Seriously. They definitely had some deep pockets to pay for all the advertising. I they're mentioned on every Reddit/YouTube/IG/etc 3D printing related post it seems.
Does look to be a good, feature packed printer, but what I don't like is it's not open source and the repairability seems questionable. Having run multiple printers for years I know these things are machines and need maintenance, part replacements, service, etc, and I haven't read Bambu is the best in supporting that department.

How is changing hotends for different sized nozzles? Process looks kinda delicate on their website (LINK[bambulab.com])...
I was about to post this deal as well, but you were faster.
The other day there were already many who wrote about the P1P in the K1 deal I posted. The AMS of the P1P is nice, that would be the main reason for me to get one. The Qidi and Creality alternatives are still a bit cheaper for the printer only, so for fast single color printing you can consider other printers too. But there is no real alternative with a reliable MMU at this price.

I'm on the fence pulling the trigger on this for that reason. Not being able to order replacements off amazon instead relying on Bambu directly is kind of a bummer. I've read Bambu is akin to apple in that if you can/are happy living in that ecosystem it's great. But yeah I run klipper on my current printers and no open source is another thing holding me back.

Clearly your not a part of the Bambu community. They sell, not as well as the X1C though. My guess is they have sold slower than expected and there is competition from the K1 in this price range.

From Bambu's blog post about the sale
"Early investments like tooling, NRE costs have also been largely amortized by now. Another factor I don't want to overlook is competition. After examining the financial statements and the market competition landscape, my conclusion is that we have to push a step further to keep up. This is why we will reduce the price of our Bambu Lab P1P by around 100 dollars (on all stores), to make it more accessible for people who are looking to get one of our printers and share the 3D printing passion with us."

Crazy easy, like 4 screws. You just unhook the wire, undo the screws, slide it out then slide the new one in and redo the process
