This is tempting, but I got burned by Elegoo on the Neptune 3, when they released the Neptune 3 Pro 6 months later and all firmware updates on the 3 stopped entirely. The Marlin and Klipper community never had an officially supported config (it's been a while since I checked) due to garbage documentation of the board they used.

Lots of people raised this issue on Reddit, Facebook etc, and Elegoo pretty much said too bad.

Hard for me to trust initial releases after that, especially when a lot of "reviews" thus far are from paid YouTubers.

Just my 2 cents.

This is not a resin printer; it's a FDM printer that uses rolls of filament. Here is a link that explains the differences. [formlabs.com]

I found you can use promo code SASE10 to take off another $10. Helps take the shipping cost down.

I'm holding out on any new 3D printer purchase until I see what Bambu Lab's new printer will be, supposed to be released the first quarter of 2025, so that means no later than end of March?

I'm extremely happy with my Bambu Lab A1 mini and P1S with AMS, Bambu Lab is the one that shook up the industry with their innovations and have EARNED my trust, everyone is copying them, but IMO, Bambu Lab is still the innovator.

I struggled with Ender type printers for a few years, even spent $480 on Ender 3 S1 Pro when it first came out, it was better, but still slow and inconsistent results. It sits gathering dust now.

The A1 mini is what I consider the very best "starter" 3D printer, or simply a great 3D printer for anyone, everything is automatic, bed leveling, flow calibration, motion calibration, with color touchscreen, what is not to like!

Me too, but based on what BL has had to say, you could easily be looking at a $2,000-$2,500 printer.
And it'll be a great printer, probably, but it's hard to justify that when you could get 7 or 8 of these Elegoos. Assuming they turn out to be as good as their specs suggest.

Can I ask you a damn question! I am so curious !What do you print with this 3D printer? Something just for fun or print something creative?And software is it included? Thanks

You can print anything you want.
Print existing designs you can find on Thingiverse, Printables and many other sites.
Or you can make your own designs using a CAD software such as Fusion 360, SolidWorks, Tinkercad, etc.

I do both, but mostly print my own designs. I also design a lot of work.

It's only says pre order because they don't have enough stock. That is the normal price, it was released for normal sale last week but sold out so they call it a pre.order due to not having stock. The price is the retail price. It's just selling allot because of the quality for the price is amazing
Not enough stock = back-ordered, not pre-ordered
It was technically only a pre-order before it went on the market, but whatever

I don't know if anyone can say what the regular price is until they remove "PRE-ORDER" from the product page title. According to the page, the first round of printers ships today, so they logically should do that soon, but I wonder if they'll wait longer to get a big user base, social media content and ecosystem going before they set the regular price.

Newbie question. How cost effective is 3d printing? For example my kitchenaid refrigerator needs the new plastic piece on top of the door that holds it in place. How would I go about finding out how to make it and what's the cost on small parts like that to make. Is this product something the average person would use much around the house? Thanks.

Yeah, if they're including one in a bundle it's because it's a spare. Those things do wear out eventually.

The cost in plastic for what you're describe is basically nothing. Like, probably a quarter at most.
Designing the part and all that, well, that's where the learning curve comes in. Because to print a thing, it has to have been created in a CAD program (or Blender, which I use, which is 110% NOT a CAD program). Once it's been created and exported, then you bring it into the printer's slicer software and print away.

I guess how comfortable are you with taking careful dimensional measurements and describing an object in terms of geometric shapes? You can play around on TinkerCAD [tinkercad.com] and see if you think you can replicate the part in question. For less niche/custom objects, there are countless free models available on sites like Thingiverse.

As far as cost effectiveness, it's around $10-20 per kg of filament, depending on type, whether it's on sale, bulk ordering, etc. That's going to be the dominant recurring cost, and then add in the cost of the printer itself. I imagine the cost of just the plastic piece you're talking about would be that of a small fraction of a kg, including some prototypes that you end up throwing away.

In general, I would assume that if you're not an enthusiast, a 3D printer probably won't literally pay for itself, but it's also a fun hobby for a lot of people (myself included).

Why is this printer better than the top current 3d printers like a Bambu lab printer?

Any currently working promo codes? These three codes aren't working, even with a filler bringing total over $300.

Unless your p1S running 24/7, I would get another AMS.
