Deal Details
Not sure the exact details on the bonus 3 spools of filament, but MatterHackers is a decent brand of filament in my experience, so the inclusion of those three rolls plus the printer itself might be worth it.

Meh, saw it for $390 the other day. Still took a pass because Bambu Lab's AMS exists.

Bambu P1S plus AMS will cost you over $1000 delivered to your door.
Kinda hard to swallow for most people's hobbies 3D print. K1 at $390 is almost half the price of Bambu p1s.
Plus, Creality just posted open-source code firmware making it kind of hard to pass on it.
If you need AMS I would wait until September 20 for the Bambu A1 printer release. Hopefully, it costs around $500-600.

The K1 doesn't come with the AMS in the box either. Let's compare apples to apples here.

You can buy either the P1P for $600 or the P1S for $700. Now you have an upgrade path if you ever decide you want the AMS.

You could also buy the P1S combo with AMS for $950 and save $100.

Definitely worth waiting until the 20th though. Fingers crossed for the XL Bambu printer.

There is no Apple to Apple comparison more like Apple to Orange.

I am just talking prices-wise and K1 has a clear advantage.

Also, in the market right now only Bambu has a good enough AMS for everyone to use out of the box for extra $$$ and it locks tight in their firmware department. Plus, there are other color filament changing systems in the market, but it is not friendly to use and need DIY and firmware mod/updates to use them.

"Fingers are crossed for the XL Bambu printer" Too BAD because today someone leaked the heating plate and it is 200mm. SIGHT!!!!

Lol. That tiny plate was leaked days ago and most people know it to be a troll. Just like the posts about how you'll receive the X1C (flagship) if you order a P1S (middle.)

It looks like no matter what happens on the 20th it'll certainly make someone happy.

EDIT: you've also made my point that Bambu offers something very unique here (AMS) which goes a long way in making up the slight difference in price of the printers. The Bambu printers are also better quality-wise, which at this point is an indisputable fact.

Either printer will do fine as an upgrade from a low-end printer like an Ender 3 though, so a good buy at $400 for most people, just not me.

I wish bambu made a 300+x300+ sized printer. Happy to drop the money on that.

Currently k1 plus is the only thing that meets that size criteria
