I almost always go for the cheap model, but decided I would go all in this time around.
There's literally nothing there about insufficient cooling...

That said, I do hope they will follow laws and rules that will protect consumers better than they may be currently.
Curious if anyone with a P1P can comment on enclosures.

1. The print speed is objectively much better for a "good" quality print than what most consumer printers on the market can claim for an out-of-the-box print. You can do better with mods and fine-tuning or switching to a more niche kit like the Vorons, but the Bambu out-of-box does it well automatically with most filaments. That said, I think the default print speeds are too high and the highest speed settings are overhyped. If you aim for 150 - 200 m/s as your target, you'll be very pleased with the results most of the time.
2. The software has gotten regular updates on all fronts (slicer and machine firmware) to the point where the core cloud-print workflow is now very reliable. Their dev team is responsive to feature requests, and the fact that the basis is PrusaSlicer means it's pretty much always keeping up with the latest features demanded by the community.
3. Although they do spend a lot on the marketing effort, I genuinely think the maker community loves this printer because I see it being adopted by users who are influential but are not in the business of reviewing or selling 3D printers (Optimum Tech, for example).
4. The availability of parts and mods from first-party and third-party sources has expanded dramatically over the last six months. Now you can buy almost all of the major components you need to rebuild the printer from Bambu directly, and you can buy cheap 3rd party build plates and nozzles from Aliexpress to make the printer more capable.
5. The biggest downside will always be that the machine hardware and firmware will be closed-source. I don't think this will ever change, so if it's a dealbreaker for you, don't bother and look to Prusa catching up in a few years or DIY a Voron today.
