3d printer designs have been stagnant for 3-4 years, they brought some good competition to market (think tesla).
You don't have to like it, or support them, but without them I doubt you'd see so many competing coreXY klipper based machines out there.
Locked down propriety machines will come and go
1) Dry box for open spools.
2) Keep an extra spool of the same color filament and have it automagically use the next same color spool for long prints.
3) Multicolor by layers. It minimizes waste and you don't have to manually switch colors at layers.

I just pulled the trigger on a P1S through their TikTok store for an additional $50 off. Excited to start printing again and not spending 95% of my time tinkering with the stupid printer.
Edit: p1s with AMS, the one without AMS is available but only a $20 discount
It seems like this is something that will get very little use and that is a very expensive addon
I know a guy with the X1 and the AMS
And he does this sort of professionally and sells at the local farmers market
He has very few prints that use the AMS and be said that coloring prints in the slicer is difficult and he usually just grabs models that are are already colored.
Seems like a waste of money till the software improves as I am sure it will but is it just better to get it now as future proofing?
The price difference between the X1 and the X1 with AMS is pretty steep isn't it?
Would the X1 with no AMS be a better value for close to this price?
And you trust Creality more than Bambu??? 😂

I'd recommend informing yourself on the K1/K1 Max features as well. The older Creality printers were not using USB as a "better" option or more secure option. They were using it because it was cheap and 3D printing was still in its relative infancy.
The newer Creality printers are essentially doing the same thing as Bambu Labs because that is what is expected now from the market. People have been making their 3D printers available on the network for the last several years via Octoprint, Mainsail, Fluidd, etc.
I realize that's predominantly local LAN based not cloud based.
Personally, I have more confidence in BL's implementation than Creality's… Not that I have a great deal in either but BL is a much more polished and well implemented software stack.
I have a X1C and K1.
I will say I am very optimistic about the K1 now that it is able to be rooted and somewhat open.
The machine (K1) itself isn't in the same class as my X1C with AMS but for $320-$350, I believe it's probably the best value printer on the market for many that can't reach the $500+ price point.

Probably nice on a printer with a larger print bed, on a 250 x 250 meh probably never need it!

OR you could buy 35 KG of full rolls of $10 PLA............
i also like the $350 dry box instead of a $10 tupperware........ you guys are really reaching to justify here!!
The main feature is the multi color but it just wastes too much IMO, The quickest way to turn an $8 2 hour print into a $16 4 hour print is to use an AMS!!!
multicolor is a cool idea but dual or tripple head is the way to do it properly IMO! Hot ends really aren't that expensive that you can't have multiple and the only other part needed to uppgrade is the motherboard.

- Changing filaments involves a click on my screen. That's it.
- Loading filaments involves just putting the spool in the slot and pushing an inch of filament into the AMS. It does everything else for you.
- If you run out of filament on one spool, you can have it set to automatically switch to another spool. No more babysitting the printer when you're low on one spool.
- It allows you to use a different material for support. That means you can say, print something supported by soluble supports, then dissolve those supports in water.
Basically, I don't spend much time in front of the printer manually doing things anymore. I just hit print from my PC, and I just get up to grab my freshly printed parts / refill if a spool has run out.Leave a Comment
