Printing with the X1C is just so effortless, makes it a tool to complete a project… not the project 😉

Supposedly, the new Ender V3 series is much more "plug and play" compared to previous Ender models. There aren't many comparisons between the new Ender v3s and Bambu, because the KE only starting shipping 2 months ago, and the A1 mini itself is still relatively new.
If we are comparing just the A1 mini (without the AMS) to the KE, I'm having trouble seeing why the A1 Mini is so much better. Similar to the Bambu, the KE has auto bed leveling, same print speed, upgraded hot end, touchscreen/wifi, klipper, etc. KE also wins with larger prints, but to be honest the A1 mini will probably be big enough for us.
The big appeal for me with the A1 Mini is the AMS system, which is no doubt a big plus and the main reason I'd purchase the Bambu. I've read that Ender is in the works for something similar, but who knows when and at what price. There are a couple multicolor products out already (mosaic palette, 3d chameleon), but they have mixed reviews, and can be finicky.

I have V3 SE and A1, not the same situation as you and I don't know in terms of tolerance on printing what the difference between my ender and your ender. What I do know is my A1 just works. Ender just doesn't. I'm saying I can print a part with gears and moving components and needs mating and ender parts just don't fit near as well as A1. Ender works on just figurines and things that don't matter in terms of dimension, but any functional parts I have to print on A1.

Somewhere I read p1s print volume is slightly smaller due to the core xy setup, but don't quote me on it.
edit: just looked up on Bambu studio slicer, P1S has the bottom left corner of the build plate blocked out, about a 20x30mm area.
Will an A1 Mini provide enough of a step up in performance for printing functional parts?
