After all the John Deere garbage Bambu has been pulling lately to break compatibility with third party parts and software, I just don't understand why anyone would want to buy into this ecosystem. I also won't have my print jobs flowing through Chinese cloud servers.

because closed, controlled ecosystems just work... when done right. BambuLabs really did nail the execution, in terms of making a device that is a tool for hobbies and not the hobby.
you can still get 3rd party hardware (pates, extruders, hotends, ect.), but the SW... after have other brands for years and futzing with all sorts of opensores solutions, nah, i want SW designed for the tool that does exactly what it should every time.

as for print jobs through the cloud... i'm much more concerned about my camera feeds, they can have my print jobs nod

The X1C Combo is a mature, reliable flagship 3D printer that stands out for plug and play use, strong print quality, and a touchscreen that feels like a real upgrade. The AMS combo and Bambu ecosystem make it especially appealing for hobby work, with features like spaghetti detection, skipped failed objects in batch jobs, and helpful chamber cooling for ASA and ABS. The main knocks are its age, the lidar being of limited value on some materials, and concerns about closed software, cloud handling, and future parts availability. A solid pick if you want a polished machine rather than a project.

Common Questions (5)

  • The X1C Combo is still a strong buy if you want a mature, reliable printer now, especially for single-material printing or occasional multi-material use. The main caveat is that the P2S is described as the better value for some buyers because it adds newer hardware, while the X1C's biggest advantage is that its bugs are already worked out.

    psycttotumengiopsycttopsyctto

  • It can be partially opened up: third-party hardware like plates, extruders, and hotends still works, and the printer can reportedly be jailbroken to load open-source firmware. The concern is that firmware updates have broken some third-party features before, so some owners stay on older firmware to avoid losing compatibility.

  • Yes. A hardened nozzle and extruder gear add about $60, and the stock setup may need that upgrade if you print abrasive materials. One commenter also notes the P2S is expected to include a hardened nozzle, which is a drawback of the P1S/X1C-style setup for those materials.

    CoolGalley376gabe23111

  • Yes, the X1C is used for ABS/ASA and the chamber fan is specifically called out as helpful for those materials. The lidar is often considered less useful for ABS/ASA because it can get dirty, so watching the first layer is the practical approach.

  • No built-in exhaust vent is mentioned, which is a problem if you want to vent fumes outside. That makes it less convenient for setups that rely on external exhaust routing.

Super good deal. I might be crazy though to just wait and hope the p2s combo comes in at the $799 they originally announced it at. This will be my first 3d printer and I figure for the same price or even $100 more (if it's $900) it's better than the x1c and original ams.

This is what I was thinking too. I just didn't know enough to know if the lidar is more beneficial or not.

I was looking at the P1S combo at $650 right now, but this is tempting. Not sure if I'd need the extra features

How are you designing parts for this? I understand if you have Creo or Solidworks, what is the general mass using for home designing of parts without?

If you upgrade to harden nozzle and extruded gear that's another $60.

if you look at the comparison between the P2S and X1, there's little reason to go with the X1 these days... especially weighing the AMS2 in the mix. the X1 is still a fantastic printer, it's just 3 years old now, a lifetime in the 3D printing world.

i'd buy the P2S combo in heartbeat...
this is coming from a very happy X1C owner, for the past ~2 years.

the lidar is more of a gimmick feature... it really doesn't do much. i rarely have 1st layer issues (unless i'm lazy and don't clean a dirt plate or something), so it hardly seems worth it.

Will the P2S have enclosure and air filter? I print primarily ABS.
