I think the hardcore people suggest starting with these entry level printers, but do yourself a favor and buy this or a Prusa otherwise 90% of your time in the hobby will be tweaking the printer. I just want to print, not be a printer technician.

I bought two ender 3 pro's years ago now during the $99 microcenter coupon deals. It got my foot in the door and hooked on 3d printing. It also in a way forces you to learn the fundamentals through the setup process and the inevitable issues that will arise. I'm glad that I went through that learning experience but at the same time I found myself not printing as much because of issues with this and that. If I had to do it over again today and planned on making 3d printing a hobby for the long term there's no doubt I'd save myself the headaches and get a bambu out of the gate. My only gripe with my bambu is parts availability has to be done through bambu themselves and more recently microcenter. Hopefully in the near future amazon is an option.

I have a P1S and just used this deal to buy a second. My printers (have a flashforge av4) are running all the time. I live the app, I like AMS way more than I thought I would, I love how much more I can get done due to the speed. It's a joy to own.

I upgraded from an Ender 3 V2 (my first printer) to a Bambu labs P1S, and I am so glad I did. It just saves so much time not having to tinker with the printer, so I can spend that time to enjoy printing things that I want to print. I was never able to fully get rid of elephants foot on my ender.

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.
There is a silent mode you can run in. Slower but slow is relative.

I went to this from an Ender 3… it's such a different experience. This "just works".

I own several Ender 3s, a CR-10, and a Voron. All have been tweaked to some extend and run well using klipper. I have to admit, at this point, tinkering is not at the top of my list and the idea of owning an Bambu printer is compelling but not at the prices I'm willing to pay. Call me cheap.

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.
Alright, you've convinced me to wait another year or two. I have an ender 3 v2 and the bed leveling is not fun, but I'll survive for another couple years and spend $600 on a printer that really can do it all.

I absolutely love this thing. Splurged for my birthday and got the AMS Combo.
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.

I was originally going to get the X1C, but leaning towards saving the $400 and going for a P1S now, then putting that $400 towards a laser engraver.

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 $$$?

Lol, I'm sure you actually, really do.
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.
You might want to look at the bed slinger that Bambu sells. It's probably going to be much better than the Ender for a beginner printer.

Unless you're only planning on printing PLA and PETG forever, I wouldn't consider the P1P over the P1S; especially at only a $60 difference between the two. The P1S gives you a full enclosure, auxiliary part cooling fan, and air filter.

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.

I'm on the fence about the AMS. Have people tried it? Is it a good experience? How hard is it to assign colors in slicers?
Ams is great, easy to use and assign colors or other filament types

I am really debating on this, or the Ender 3 v3 KE that comes out in a few days, about half the price, any thoughts?

Quote from ironclad :
Saw a great deal on the Ender 3 v3 SE this morning, they have come a long way in the entry-level space with this model as it includes some excellent QoL features where it just prints right out of the box with barely any tinkering.
I think Creality really screwed themselves over by not coming up with new names for the different Ender 3 variants. I just checked their website and there's literally twelve different models of Ender 3's; from the original Ender 3 (which I still currently have and use) to the new V3. Each one improved upon the design little by little, but now every one of them is simply lumped together as an "Ender 3" when people refer to them.

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.

Upgrading from an Ender 3 pro. (modded with CR-Touch, Skr mini e3 v3, Sunon fans).

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)

K1 max sounds good for larger prints. I wonder if anyone can comment on the issues they had early on? Have they been resolved? How does it compare to the P1S ?

I had a prusa and my hot end broke after 2 spools.

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.
