There are 2 hobbies in one with 3d printing. Hobby 1 is getting any non bambu 3d printer, putting it together, troubleshooting the hell out of it, building your own gcode, learning gcode, configuring print profiles for every filament type and brand, finding the perfect slicer, tuning your funky looking print problems, etc etc etc, and very little actual printing. Hobby 2 is buying a bambu so you can avoid all of the above and actually print things with it. I have a friend way into hobby 1. I couldn't get into hobby 1. I am a hobby 2 kind of guy. I want to cad out 3d models and press Ctrl+p and out comes my functional print to test X with. I'm an engineer, and while I could build my own 3d printer from scratch, I don't have time to screw around with hobby 1.

Bambu printers are ideal for people who want the Apple experience with a 3D Printer. It just sort of works, regularly and easily. While other brands have caught up on features, even exceeding in some cases, they're still kind of terrible somehow in the actual experience of use and with issues that come up.

i got a X1C for my 11-year-old daughter during the anniversary sale, and she was able to set it up all by herself (besides some minimal heavy lifting) and print her first boat on day one. it was super easy to set it up. i don't really have the time to go to the alternative and wait for her to come back to me.

I really adore how the gatekeepers are downvoting every pro-Bambu comment but have absolutely no discourse to offer why.

Combine this with the P1S upgrade kit to make it enclosed like the P1S.https://us.store.bambulab.com/pro...losure-kit
Wouldn't it make more sense to just buy the P1S? It's on sale for $549.

Edit: The P1S is on sale for $550. Ignore my comment.
Bad info retained below for transparency
I don't necessarily disagree with you... but at this price, you can buy the P1P and the enclosure kit and be out the door for almost $300 less than the P1S.

Not really. P1P $399, Enclosure kit $177, P1S $549
399+177 =576 which is more expensive

I was just going to ask "what can this printer do that my ender 3 pro can't", and you already answered it.

But I do feel that a lot of the tinkering has to do with what I'm printing. Some models require thicker bottom or top layers, different support types, different printing speeds... I assume these are still relevant even with this printer?

Any other good alternatives, relatively inexpensive, for Hobby 2?

Relevant - but not as relevant when there's an existing print profile for the bambu you have.

A1 Mini from Bambu is what you're after.

That's why I now own an X1C. Took me a while to believe the hype enough to buy one though, but no regrets. Only problem is now I want about 5 more...printing things in wood pla with wood texturing takes a crazy long time. I wish there was a way to print the wood texturing just in the walls instead of the interior of the print as well.
shouldnt add any extra time, maybe a 1% or 2. make sure whatever model you grab doesnt have wonky print profiles. a ton of makerworld models settings are not great ino

I have both a P1P that has been modified to be enclosed, a bunch of custom built printers, and the new Elegoo centauri carbon. The bambu just works and works well. I've had a few issues here and there but they've been solved rather easily. The centuri carbon also works really well but is not quite as polished as the P1P especially when it comes to software. I still think it has some room to go, but it prints very well for a $300 printer. if I had to choose between one of them I would probably choose The P1P only if doing PLA and pet g or any other filament that does not need to be enclosed. The centuri carbon does those well also, but it's also enclosed and can do things that the P1P can't. However I would say the overall out of box experience is better with the P1P.

While Im not remotely saying the Centauri Carbon is as remotely as polished as a Bambu, some people sound like they think all 3rd party printers is like working on an old Ender. The Centauri Carbon is like significantly closer to what a Bambu Printer is, than it is to cheap 3d printers.

on a scale of like effort to get stuff up and running, if 0 is effortless and 100% is build the damn thing, if Bambu was like a 10%, the Centauri Carbon is like the 20%, while the cheap DIY is at like 80%. placing the arbitrary line of having to do stuff vs not right after the Bambu is kinda silly. To a lot of people, the Centauri Carbon would fit the bill. Outside of the software differences right now, the other thing to consider the Bambu for is a working and tried and true AMS system. Elegoo plans one but its not out yet, and I'm not going to judge something that doesnt exist and hasn't been publicly tested.

So other than Bambu, what other printers work with Hobby 2?
I'm an engineer myself, and don't have a lot of patience mocking with the printer itself. I know there's Prusa that's pretty much CTRL+P as well. I used it at the library.

Having been that hobby 1 guy for almost 10 years, then finally getting the A1 last winter, I highly recommend starting out as the hobby 2 guy. The knowledge gained through all the trial and error and research did not make up for all the time wasted.

I've printed more in the last 6 months on the A1 than I did in all those hobby 1 years.
