Just recently:

1. Cookie cutters for wife. Christmas cookies.
2. Holiday necklace for kids, like fake Christmas lights around the neck.
3. 6x Balance Tetris gifts with box for gifts.
4. Winter decor for my storefront.
5. Upgrades for my new printer K1Max
6. Parts for another new printer (to print chocolate)

You can do limitless things. It's akin to asking what you can do with a hammer: a lot, and not a lot at the same time: depends on what you need hammered.
5. Upgrades for my new printer K1Max
LOL
What
You mean this is still a thing on their "flag ship" printer?
I expect it in ender 3 but I figured there wasn't anything to upgrade on an enclosed core XY enclosed machine like tha.
So what upgrade did it need?

No 3D Printer is perfect. Most people that like 3D printing also like to tinker and optimize their printer. Even the Bambu Labs X1C has upgrades that people print, like adding HEPA filtration.

Thanks for this OP. Six hour round trip to the nearest MicroCenter, but worth it. Replaced my five year old original Ender 3.

This is a great deal! This is my first printer and running great for the past year.
I recommend the sonic pad if you can find it for around 100$ ok Amazon.
Will definitely entertain a Bamboo printer next bc being able to print in different colors would be super nice

It's $150 bucks for a more than well enough equipped printer that most people would never outgrow.
I've had mine for almost 2 years now and it is great for what it is, and at this price is great.
I'm planning to get a P1S here soon as an upgrade, but you can't recommend bambu for everything.
I think this assessment is spot on as someone who has a basic ender 3 pro and a p1s. If someone has an ender 3 with the auto z offset, its probably not worth the upgrade to a p1s if they don't need the extra speed or enclosure

Avoid like plague. Only problems, mostly with bed leveling. Get yourself V3 model instead if you can.

Then when something goes wrong with your Bambu Labs printer, you just go 🤷🏻 ♂️ and leave it in a corner for 10 years?
When something goes wrong?

You must be used to Creality 3D printers.

Bambu Labs printers just work. There is a reason why everyone on YouTube, reddit and the internet loves Bambu Labs. Adam Savage, the maker 👑, uses 2 or 3 of them and plans to buy more.

For people who want to get into making, Bambu Labs is the way to go.

For people who wants to learn how to become a 3D printer technician, Creality is the way to go.

Bought my 8 year old the V3 SE almost 3 months ago. He put it together in 10 minutes and has been printing ever since. It just works, doesnt have to do anything but feed in filament and it only cost me $160. Sounds like a printer that even children with no experience can get into making and do it inexpensively.



For anyone interested, it's available again on ebay for $160 after a 20% coupon shipped to your door.

Edit:

There is also 20% off on the V3 KE bringing it down to $223 shipped.

How would a warranty claim work if ordering through ebay compared to direct from creality

I would assume its the same as its always been with Creality. You would email them with the issue and attach photos/screenshots of proof of purchase and serial number off the back of machine.

Was looking at videos comparing the S1 vs V3. And it looks like the S1 is of better build quality? And the main advantage the V3 has is faster printing speeds, while the S1 allows a larger Z axis print. Seems like the S1 is better if you don't mind slower speeds, but want better build, bigger screen, dual Z axis motors? Someone care to chime in?

Once you get better at tinkering with it, you can use the the klipper firmware to increase the print speeds.

Great price for a good open source printer. Plenty of aftermarket add-ons.

Damn I just paid $280 after tax for my KE from Creality. Should I tell my kid he can't open his Christmas present because I have to send it back to save $60 😂

Nozzles do not last forever. Belts need tightening. Fans fail. Wires get abraided. Bambu Labs is not immune to this.

Adam Savage is capable of fixing these problems.
