A word of caution: I purchased from this retailer and received my printer full of broken glass with an intact door and a error code that prevented use. Even after flashing the printer to update, my printer is still busted. Understand that refurb doesn't mean functional, apparently they don't even test them before they send them out for shipping. Bonus points for my box being open by the time it arrived to my doorstep. Don't save the hundred bucks or so if you can afford it.

creality makes ok machines but for the price it is incredibly expensive for what you get. retail 1200 for this, or 1449 for bambus X1C? not even close..

I have the P1S and Centauri Carbon (both great)and both do almost whatever I would need on a 256x256mm bed plate. However, There are many times I wish I had a larger bed.The K2 offers that while you need to spend $2k to get that from Bambu. I'm not sure this is a 1 to 1 comp with the X1C. I have this on my wishlist as I want the bigger bed and people seem to like it.

I'm desperate to find an H2D alternative, and I would really love for this 3D Printer to be it, but most reviews of this printer tend to be negative. I will personally wait for a better option.

I'm always cautions about Creality refurbs. I got lucky and got a new in box (never even setup) Ender 3 S1 Pro but others have had much worse luck.

As for this vs the X1C, I would pick this (new vs new). The X1C is a solid machine but this is a much larger printer. This is a 350mm class printer vs the 250mm of the X1C. If you don't want to use the extra size then X1C or better yet, P1S (I think that's the enclosed one vs the P1P) and save a lot of money.

I've seen a lot of positive reviews on this printer (new, not Creality reburb). I know two happy owners (I'm not one of them as I have an FF 5M).

I have had positive experiences with Creality printers four times in a row. I purchased my K1 as a refurbished model, and it has been a reliable workhorse with no user-related issues for months. I grew tired of waiting for a refurbished K2 and ended up buying it at full retail price.

I would have jumped all over this deal 3 months ago.

I had the exact same experience the printer arrived with broken glass and small debris scattered inside. Save your money and buy a new one if you can. While some people in the comments say they received a product that looked like new, it seems completely random. The seller doesn't properly inspect the items, and "refurbished" clearly doesn't mean much in this case.

X1C is 250x250, this is 350x350. That being said, I will never by another Bambu product after their closed source debacle. I have no trust in companies that sell a product as open source, then months later force people to upgrade the firmware on it, changing it to closed source. Corporate greed at its finest.
