The one thing I was worried with the P1S over the ender was the noise level. It's definitely louder than the Ender, but with the door closed, it's not that bad. And if noise really becomes a concern, I can slow the speed down to reduce noise more.
Yes, the P1P and P1S are incredibly attractive...if all you want to print are toys that soften in the sun. I'm into practical prints that can tolerate the outdoors and,, unfortunately, both printers are hamstrung with the artificial max bed temps (100). I prefer to use ABS and the 100 is the minimum I need to prevent warping, much less adhesion. Sure, I can jump through hoops to make these two printers work but then, I can do that for less money on my enders.
In regards to time, I'm not a print factory and can wait, especially to maximize layer adhesion for said functional parts.
What I would do is wait for the next iteration when parts will become more available and someone cracks that nut and allows us to manipulate the temps however we want. Until, I'm pressing the pause button.
Like others, I had an ender 3 and I spent more time trying to make the thing work than actually printing. This is the apple of 3d printers, it just works and so incredibly fast.
I literally printed a Mandalorian armor set and had a blast for halloween.
Currently using an old big bed slinger w/ octoprint, so I don't expect to need the screen all that much. And plan to upgrade to the hardened gear and nozzle should the need arise, but I'll likely print in PLA most of the time anyway. I'm just kinda tired of the tinkering w/ my current printer, right now the rails are wobbly and it doesn't even have concentric nuts for the wheels, so I would need to bang it with a hammer to tighten it up, which I did a few months back.
Anyone have both the X1C and P1S and think its worth it to save the $$$?
I'm actually pondering buying an Ender 3 as an entry to 3D printing.
What's the one think you don't like about the V3.

The enclosure is going to be important if you have any desire to print ABS, ASA, Nylon, or any other filament requiring a heated/enclosed chamber. It might also cut down on some of the noise a bit but you don't really need the enclosure for PLA or PETG. For me, simply having that option for $60 more seems like a no-brainer.
If you decide to upgrade your P1P later on to become a P1S, it's going to cost you $150 for the upgrade kit, plus you'll be doing all the work yourself of tearing it apart and installing the parts. Even if you were just planning on printing PLA & PETG, it may be of benefit to have the auxiliary part cooling fan, which is a $30 upgrade by itself on the Bambu website. Throw another $30 at it, you'd get the fan plus the enclosure, filter, etc. already installed.
Honestly, if my use case was only for PLA or PETG, I'd probably just look at the A1 mini instead. It's almost half the price of this P1P and still prints very fast. Unless you need the extra build volume of the P1/X1 printers, the A1 looks very capable and even has an AMS option.
This means that people complaining about problems with their 2018 edition Ender 3 Pro (AKA the $99 MicroCenter model) get lumped in with the S1, V2 Neo and V3, which likely fixed 99% of the complaints people had with the original. The inclusion of ABL, textured PEI flex plate, direct drive/all-metal hotends, and coming almost completely pre-assembled made the newer Enders much more reliable and easier to use.
I see people posting all the time about "I have nothing but problems with my Ender 3" with no indication of which model they have. If its the OG Ender 3/Pro model, I can believe it, as they are lightyears behind in the 3D printing space unless you upgraded them along the way to be more reliable. However, it seems like the newer Ender 3's are mostly "fire and forget" in terms of sending a job and knowing it'll complete without issues.
I can't help but think that if Creality had just named each printer variant a new name, this wouldn't be as much of an issue. I know they likely thought they'd capitalize off the brand recognition of the Ender 3 name and just kept tacking new acronyms on the end of it (Pro, V2, V3, SE, KE, Neo, S1, etc. etc.) but now that's backfired and people think EVERY Ender 3 is trash.
Having a hard time deciding between a P1S with AMS for $850 or a K1 max for $650.
The AMS seems so good for just having the option for filament changes or if you run out filament mid print. Also Bambu seems to have a bit more of a polished product at the moment.
However, they do make everything proprietary which concerns me as well as the internet printing dilemma (if anyone can comment on that, i would like to know more). Not to mention that monotone screen...
While the K1 Max has a bit more build space which is great for printing more decorated helmets and gear. Creality also has everything open source which is great for modding and keeping up to date with new hardware configs.
Also K1 Max supposedly fixed a lot of the issues that the K1 (smaller version)* had at launch. They still have an issue with the cable chain hitting the top glass lid which can cause partial clogs (people end up removing the lid or building an extension lol).
They are also Creality...so QC and official support leave a lot to be desired..
AHH decision fatigue!
(btw just for curiosity sake, i asked my local Microcenter online if they'd price match the P1S combo, they had to ask the manager and it was denied)

I have a p1p and I have run 10 spools thru and never had one failed print that wasn't my fault for supporting wrong.
I absolutely love this printer and I would suggest it to anyone. I don't have one negative thing to say about it.
