00:00 - Intro
At 11:00 the tool is to help you align the build plate with the replacement PEI sheet sticker when replacing it, and it also helps evenly push it down without bubbles
Bambu have a great video showing how to use it.
ahhhhhh!
Recently ordered a P1S myself. For me, the enclosure and AMS helping to protect from moisture is huge. I live in an old house. Temperature and humidity vary *greatly* from hour to hour, let alone day to day.
I have loved my X1 Carbon I got for Christmas. Printing is easy, almost hassle free, and has made the hobby more fun. I have been printing parts for my boys robot project which has made us all very happy.
I have had the PS1 for about a month now and have yet to have a issue with printing PLA with the door close and lid on. Coming from a Ender 3 Pro, The P1S works like a dream. Though I am glad i started with a Ender because it helped me learn the basics of 3D Printer.
I have an ender 3 and am looking to upgrade. How are the overhangs compared to that of the ender 3 in your experience?
I'm using a flashforge finder 1 and am finally looking into "good" printers. I love the idea of multiple colours
@cleverballoon6535 P1s can have some problems with overhang at normal speed. Just because it's so fast. Nothing major though, and you can slow it down if it's have trouble.
@GregoryShtevensh multi color is great but comes with drawbacks. Depending on size and orientation, it can add a bunch of time to your print. Also makes a bunch of waste because of the need to purge filament when shaping color. Though the results can look pretty striking.
I have an X1 and not been taking the lid off when printing pla am I missing something?
I took your word on the Uniformation GK2 and have been using it for 3 months now. Time to get into FDM printing and I'm going with a P1S after watching this and having a hard time deciding. Thanks for the time you put in to these very informative videos. Also, Keep the stock footage, it always makes me giggle.
Pro-tip on support for PLA. It operates much like using PETG as a support in that it doesn't stick to PLA as aggressively as straight PLA. This allows you to set your interface gap to zero thus giving you far better finishes on support sites. Also make sure you choose the option in Bambu Studio to only use the support material as the "Interface layer" as this minimizes filment changes and thus waste. Also when you choose that option, it will automatically set that interface gap to zero.
Great tip! 👍 Thanks. 🙏
Problem is, that you will have to much filament changes thus poop
@@striple6752 As I said only using it for the interface layer minimizes the changes. Obviously model design plays a role. That said honestly filament is cheap and while I would prefer less waste, I'll take convenience and print quality over waste every single day.
Hey Ross, it was great to meet you at LVO and talk about painting and 3d printing. The class was great and very helpful. I hope to see you back in Las Vegas again! I love my P1S. Do I wish I had spent the extra money for the X1 Carbon? Sometimes, but I don't think the cost difference is justified. I'd been printing for 3.5 years on a Sidewinder X1 and wanted to upgrade to CoreXY and I don't regret the choice. I dislike some of the things Bambu does as a company, but they make great printers for certain. I also think they are good about fixing things that are a problem. I spent some time printing on my brother's X1 Carbon last summer and though I liked the printer I was unhappy about how long it took to upload files through their cloud. 6 months later now that I have my own P1S the speeds are noticeably faster than they were a few months ago. Also, I've heard that you "need" to open the lid or door to print PLA in these enclosed printers, but I've done neither and all my prints have been fantastic. My AMS is on top of the top lid, and if I leave the door open my clumsy self will find a way to break it, so that's not happening either. It works fine with them both closed with all the PLA I have tried.
I got a P1S last week and it has just been an amazing experience, from unboxing to printing
Just got one of these as my first printer. Was user friendly. Already bought an A1 to go along with it
Okay... I'm leaving a comment because I thought this was an incredibly well-done video! I especially enjoyed the quips and humor injected from time to time. Excellent! And you're right; creating videos like this is a LOT of effort. Thanks for taking the time to do so. Looking to upgrade from my Bibo 2 and your video has been exceptionally helpful. Thanks again!
I bought a p1p and sold a lot of self made stl files to the point that I could upgrade everything and bought an ams. Took about 2 months with only 5 models to achieve it
Great Job Buddy and impressive. Got a link, would like to see some of your stl's
@@jheli22- I completely understand if you don't want to share your STLs, but would you reveal what those 5 models were? I'm curious about what is possible to design, print and sell with a decent revenue.
@rickyneeter69 - I completely understand if you don't want to share your STLs, but would you reveal what those 5 models were? I'm curious about what is possible to design, print and sell with a decent revenue.
Lol I already tried saying my name but they all get removed somehow
Thanks for this down to earth review, this has swayed me to make the purchase of the P1S combo, although they’re currently back ordered through bambu until April 30th lol
I’ve been doing 3D printing for a few years now. After tinkering, tooling, trashing a few printers, I feel I am at an intermediate experience level now. I’ve had my eye on the P1S combo for a little bit now and I think this video has made my decision to get it be set in stone. One point that I kind of justify for the purchase over the P1P, like you said in the video, is that I don’t know what I will want to print in the future. With the quality of prints, color options, upgradability, and overall ease of use, this may be one of the best printers in its class and in its price range. I am confident I will be happy with my choice.
Excellent review with super useful info. My P1S is in process right now, so this lets me get a jump on things I need to have ready to go when it hits my doorstep. Thanks again boss!
I’m 100% buying a P1S in the next month or two. Between your videos on it and the ones Wargaming Forge has done, I’m convinced it’s the right mix of size, capability, features, and price for what I need. Keep the great videos coming!
Just bought my P1S yesterday. This video was very helpful in making my decision
My P1S combo is the best 3d printing purchase that i have made. Coming from a relatively reliable ender 3, it just takes the faff out of printing. I was sick of the tinkering and just wanted something that worked with no fuss.
Thank you for all the effort you put into these videos. They really help break down a product into usable bits of information.
I had the P1P until yesterday when the rest of my P1S upgrade kit showed up. I got my P1P before the P1S came out, and just recently I was able to catch the kit available and bought it instantly. I love having the enclosure now, will be able to print ABS/ASA without much issues from this point.
Thank you for helping me decide to skip the X1C and just get the P1S. I was stuck on the better camera, and the lidar. But I'm not making any money yet from selling stuff, so it would be smart to just get the cheaper option.
I had a v3 SE ,N4P. I returned them both and got the combo, it just works.
Just received my p1s combo 4 days ago .printed my first EVER benchie and it came out flawless. So excited to get into 3d printing as a hobby for now
Go Habs! My combo arrives on Friday. Bye, Bye Ender 3 :)
i hope u enjoy it as much as i do!@@cidercreekranch
was this your first 3d printer? i am looking to buy my first one. and the p1s combo looks really good to me.
@@BigBry4n yes it was. Been loving it ever since I received it. The whole bambu ecosystem makes it really easy for beginners
Hope you never have an issue, because their support is non existent. I have a p1s desk weight now and am out $600
There's another practical reason to go for the enclosed printer - dust. I have a P1P and have built an enclosure for it for this reason.
this might be a dumb question but how well would using a cardboard box as an enclosure work?
not dumb at all. In terms of keeping dust out, it'd work just fine, of course. I just listed it as another perk to having an enclosed printer.
Ordered a p1s/ams combo with hardened steel extruder gears and hotend yesterday. Like you said, I have no idea what the future holds but want the option to print whatever I want. This seems like one of the best value printers out right now
You've convinced me to get the A1, and it was the best purchase ever. I was able to print things with stress free. Now with the recall, I'm thinking of taking this opportunity to upgrade to the P1S
I am gonna do it same. 🙂I think its upgrade even in fact, that A1 model is yonger.
Why not actually use the fact of owning a 3D printer and build an enclosure around it ... DIY style?! I mean ... eventually the purpose of a 3D printer is making things and doing stuff. The Ikea Lack enclosure could be a way to integrate some piece of furniture into a room.
cause CoreXY is far better than a bed slinger, even tho Bambu's bed slingers are great and for the minimal price difference between the P1S and P1P i don't think it's worth getting a P1P, if it was more priced around €500 instead of €650-700 perhaps (compared for €750 on the P1S)
@@hassosigbjoernson5738the enclosure is not going to turn my bedslinger into an coreXY printer, that’s why.
Thanks your the reviews and logical outlook rather than just spouting off marketing points and specs. After watching the A1 review, I was sold, but they are out of stock, and my budget would allow it. So P1S with AMS for my first printer???
Okay, fine. After talking to you at LVO (didn't buy the H&S) this is on my shortlist of soon to buy hobby items. Awesome meeting you and chatting random hobby stuff.
The Ideal machine for me would be an enclosed Core XY one like P1S or X1C, but with a next generation/upgraded AMS that is not such a pain to use.
Thanks for your opinion, just got my P1S and already happy with it! Where can I find the exact silica dry boxes 3d model you showcase in the video?
8:09 Hey! I know that channel ❤ Thanks for the credit! Oh, I agree with you: the AMS is the BEST thing on a Bambu Printer.
I bought a P1S because of this video. Thanks for your breakdown!
Man, after years of struggles with my CR10s... I gave up... and get interest in Bambu. today you give me the reason why I should finally move on the next step of 3D printer. Thanks !
CR10, ouch
The CR10 makes me not want to print. I should try this :D
i went from a highly modded CR20 Pro to an A1 Mini the A1 Mini has, in one month, done more prints than the CR20 Pro done in 2 years, without any hiccups. i've had it since january. needless to say that old thing's just collecting dust now it had one big benefit over the CR10 and E3's tho, doesn't have bed leveling knobs and ABL out of the box HOWEVER it came with literally broken firmware so ABL didn't even work out of the box, on a LOCKED BED PRINTER, LOL
Bro, I started with a used CR10-Mini and it was hot fucking garbage 😭 😭 😭 My Sovol SV07 slowly died over just a few months. Now my A1 Mini arrives today. I'm over these Scrub Ass Printers. 😤
@@Antassium same , just bought a p1s combo from micro center , so exited
Just wanted to say thanks for the review I was using a printer at our library and finally got my own thanks to this video I was able to confidently spend that much on a printer 😅
Based on your previous review I had already decided to get an A1 as my first printer, but now this review plus the fact that the A1 is currently out of stock in the US... I'm debating if I should just shell out the extra $400, lol. Thanks for another great video!
Update: I pulled the trigger on the P1S. Successful video, @FauxHammer 🙂
I'll probably pick one up when they hit the refurbished market in a year, right now a full grand for the printer and AMS is still beyond what I consider reasonable for my uses.
I have an ankermake from the Kickstarter and bought a P1S end of 2023, the P1S is way ahead of what anker offer especially with the AMS. Im looking at a 3rd printer and I'll either be a P1P just for churning out PLA prints or an A1 with an AMS mini. Also thanks to your videos i just upgraded from an Anycubic photon 1 to a Mars Max and the difference is incredible
There's a misconception that the A1 is somehow "little" compared to the P1S/P, but it actually has a larger print area than the P series (and X series) due to its lack of an exclusion zone. It doesn't matter often, but sometimes it does. The AMS Lite is the same capacity as the regular AMS, but it's more accessible, easier to load filament, and it doesn't really care if your filament is on a cardboard spool. You have a P1S to cover the exotics. An A1 will print PLA/PETG all day long and does a superb job. Either way though, you can't go wrong.
Apparently the A1 is being recalled due to a fire hazard
@@corkey2077 for most who don't have a problem, BBL created a strain relief gadget you can print out in a few minutes and install. For those who do have damage to their heat bed cable, they have the option of receiving a new heat bed to replace the entire assembly, or they can get a new printer if they aren't handy. That sounds like a perfect solution. When my P1S extruder broke, I bought a new one. When it stopped connecting to my WiFi, I dealt with it. Lesson is that these are complicated pieces of hardware integrated with software and they all go wrong. Bambu takes responsibility for all their products, but in the case of the A1, they are going the extra mile.
BambuLab will be my next FDM simply from your content. Thanks for all you do.
Awesome! Thank you!
I've followed your advice and ordered an Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra and a Bambu P1S Combo. Since these will be my first 3D printers, I'll be back to your videos, picking your brain for advice I'm sure!
I replaced my MK3S with the P1S back in November, and it's such a wonderful machine. The black Friday deal got me a free hardened steel nozzle and gear upgrade, so it should be every bit as capable as the X1 :D I fully agree, the real strength of the AMS unit isn't multi colour prints, but the convenience of picking which spool to start a new print from remotely!
I keep thinking about upgrading my MK3S as when I slice anything now, I put it in Bambu Labs and it is night and day in speed and time parts will finish. Would you go back to Prusa like the MK4?
@@jheli22 I do love Prusa's philosophy and support. But if you want an enclosed printer with multi material option, the MK4 is a tough sell. I do hope the MMU3 runs where the MMU2 stumbled
which reusable desicant do you use? I like the idea of reusable then the little packets
i literally just bought this for my birthday yesterday and just saw ur vid
I have a P1S without AMS as I dont have a need for color changes nor want to sacrifice the space that the AMS takes up. I have had it for 8 months and I have yet to clean the build plate, every print sticks great and comes off really nicely. I had a Artillery Genius before, lots of levelling/1st layer issues. This printer is on another level, they behave like a microwave; set and forget - I have not had a single failed print since day one (I only print PLA). Which is the reason why they are so populair. Really happy with it. Note that you need change the max volumetric speed if you are using a "standard" PLA profile (12mm3) - set it to 20 and the speed goes up dramatically while print quality remains the same - requires some calibration to make sure it works.
AMS is also useful for using up an entire spool of filament. You can have the machine auto pull from the next spool once the current one runs out mid print.
I got the ams even tho I don't do color prints. The ams saves me from having to change filament if I want to print something in different colors. I can make a white part, pull it off and bring a black part right after.
Thanks for the review ! I currently have an A1 mini but I think I'm gonna buy a P1S with AMS. The P1S with the AMS costs 1000€ and the P1P with the AMS costs 1010€. I think that's a good price for uch a good printer with the capability to print Multi Material / Multi Colour.
I have two questions/ first is it possible to connect the bambu lab x1c touch screen to the p1s instead of having normal one second one the lidar from the x1c is detachable?
Im planning to get a P1S with the AMS, question is, can it change color without purging? I just want to print rainbow colored planters, and don't mind the color mixing when it changes color, a slow and gradual color shift will make the planter looks cool actually.
Ordered one this morning and can’t wait! One thing I don’t understand is when people call some printers “great for beginners”, because every beginner wants the same thing as veterans for this type of product; prints well and quickly, and will need little maintenance. That’s not a good beginner printer, that’s just a good printer
veterans want that yes but sometimes they find other things more important like being open source or upgradable
just got mine today, it compares well to my voron trident
I was back and forth between the A1 mini with the ams lite until I saw abs was an issue. I don't plan to start there but I don't want to have 6 printers as I progress. Think this will be my starting point.
Nice review! PS1 looks as a very good option for my future printer :) Generally Bamboo seems to make it easier for the user
Sadly the P1S Upgrade kit is always sold out in US. Been trying to get 2 of them for 4 months now. Good Review.
Yes and even if you get the email and go immediately to order the kit will be out of stock.
Amazing review as always! Like to know that you can count on a youtuber for their honest opinion
I am totally new to 3D printing and consider getting a Bambu Lab P1S-Combo. I have a few questions. 1- Can you print with the Bambu Lab P1S-Combo w/o internet or do you have to be connected to "your" account from Bambu Lab? 2- Does the AMS act as a filament dryer or you need a separate unit to keep your filament dry? 3- Can I print a STL file directly? Thank you for any input.
Would the P1S function OK in a garage where temperatures can fluctuate depending on the season?
I want to get into 3D printing and I've been saving up for a P1S. I think It bears mentioning that while you can turn a P1P into a P1S, the upgrade kit for the P1P turns out making it more expensive than getting the P1S outright.
I really wish I knew about Bambu Labs before I bought my Ender 3 S1. I dont get my spanners out when my car breaks down, I regret having to do the same when my Ender breaks down/never works.
got my p1s last week wish i got an ams with it i bought a Voxelab Aquila couple years ago, never was successful printing anything with it. Since I got my p1s... it's been printing non stop
So good rigt, youc an alway add an AMS later, but that;s what I love, modular and upgradeable!
I bought the X1C because of my specific needs and was able to justify the price, but I would have been just as happy (for the most part) with the P1S. I had about 1 year experience with and Ender 3, however I found I didn't really need all that much of the experience in order to print very high quality reliable prints straight out of the box.
I think the support from Bambu just ruins me on the other companies Support. I look a the GK two support love the printer but there support is just not there. By the way I sold my Anycubic M5s boat anchor for $200. I love the screen on the X1 carbon but with the app you don’t really need that screen. The x1 screen make it easier to use at the printer which is important to me but the next one I’ll buy is the P1P just because of the AMS, that’s a maybe lol. As alway great video, I love the stock videos on because it helps put your point of view across. Thanks as always B
Got one of these for black friday for €100 off and they threw in a couple of kg of random filament. Pretty good deal. So far printer has been pretty reliable although I used some old filament in it that unhelpfully snapped right in a place I had to disassemble the entire print head and remove the original nozzle to fix. There is something to be said for bowden setups when this happens and all you need to do is push filament through to clear the snap. AMS is simple to use, that it's easy to forget what a PITA it is to manually change filaments. It does poop a lot of plastic though and I wish the slicer profile would incorporate some of the poop reduction techniques people have come up with.
Can the A1 match the print quality of the P1S?
Where can I find the Model for the Decadent storage in the Banbu XI ASU that is your KZhead Video - look like a great idea ?
I've owned a P1S+AMS since they came out, and an A1+AMS Lite since they came out. They sit side by side on my desk. Not only do I think the A1 is a better deal for a beginner at half the price, I think it is a better printer at half the price. The P1S is enclosed, a bit faster, and is corexy. The A1 is lighter, has a more user-friendly and reliable AMS if you use filament on a cardboard spool (and of course you do), it is quieter, even after the P1S firmware upgrade, has a better screen, and offers an overall better user experience than any other printer I've had, and I've had a few. I'm no print farm, but I have 1458 hours on my P1S, which is an average of 16.5 hours per day for 88 days. I know it's strengths and weaknesses. I'm glad I have both, but if I wanted a third, it would be another A1. Technically, I got another A1 yesterday, but it's for my wife. If you're a beginner, the A1 is the only one.
How did you get an A1? Bambu stopped sales of the A1 to address the power cord issue.
@@wk5199 wait. They ship their printers to (I think) VanCouver, so if they did an update to address the strain relief (they did) they are going to take back the inventory already in port and send some updated ones. If you can't wait, buy a P1S. If you can't afford a P1S, buy a K1C. No AMS but you can only get what there is to get.
@@wk5199 sorry misread your question. There were a ton of A1 Combos in the supply chain and I would guess hundreds if not thousands were delivered on Monday after a resupply. They weren't going to claw those back for an easily mitigated risk, even if they could have. You'll see a lot of people in comments talking about their Monday deliveries.
hi, Im a complete novice to 3DP and have been looking at getting a Flashforge Adventurer 5M Pro, but that hasn't got an option for colour prints, which I know I will be needing, so this video has been super useful for me. Do you by any chance have access to a Flashforge Adventurer 5M pro so that you could do a side by side comparison? great vid, thanks for posting.
P1s has been an awesome printer for a beginner who wanted to print things and not tear their hair out diagnosing problems
Almost went with the P1S but opted for the A1 with AMS lite instead which i have been super happy with untill the rear heatbed cable issue. Might be worth some A1 users returning their faulty units and upgrading to the P1S instead as i can see a long wait ahead with no printer at all whilst Bambu Lab get a grip of the situation.
I heard about that issue, didnt they fix it?
@@FauxHammer They've stopped A1 sales right now. Got 2 options for those with the cord problem, fix it your self with the parts they supply and get compensation or get a replacement printer for those that don't want to DIY. Those without the cord issue will either get sent a part that they can install for more strain relief or if you need it ASAP you can download and print it yourself. It's in their blog.
This is the video I needed. Currently going to return my A1 due to the . I know the P1 series is louder, but can you make it quieter? Is there a silent mode like on the A1? Great video. definitely subscribing and watching your other videos. Keep up the great work.
Thanks. there's not a Silent mode. but it;s about as loud as the A1 anyway, I never noticed a significant difference.
I hear the The P1s Is a nisey machine though is this true if I'm in the same room as printer would it be to loud to watch tv anoy neighbour etc.. you don't mention noise levels in your review?
Last question from me. Don’t know if you want to answer it or not..would you take the chance to “upgrade” given the voucher and could stump up the difference for the P1s over the A1
Great review, thank you.
Worth noting that most engineering materials are quite abrasive to print and you really should upgrade the gears, etc on the P1S/P1P to the hardened kit bambu sells Though I guess if you don't you'll have to after not to long anyway once they wear down
is the A1 combo good enough, if you dont want to print abs asa nylon etc
Absolutely yes. In fact the A1’s are quieter and moisture isn’t that big of a deal with PLA. If you find it is, simply buy a spool dryer to use frequently. I have a mini and at work we just got an A1.
Hmmmm, it makes me think about getting a P1S combo instead of waiting till May for the A1 combo. Buuuuut, thats 400€ difference. Humidity is, in my head, a pain in the ass, so AMS would bring peace to my head, but is that rly needed? Enclosure and the more compact baseplate movement is sexy, also i may would not need to by an Ikea (Smarstad) wardrobe to cover up the open A1...would save 215€... (Open A1 is a waste of space to me, AMS lite cable stuff is nasty, and also it's vulnerable to dust and temperature changes.) So maybe the question is, what benefits i miss from the A1? How much do i need the screen in the end? How is the difference in nozzle change etc. in real life? Has someone who knows both printer some suggestions for me?
I like your videos. Been 3d printing for about 3 months. I have an elegoo neptune 4 plus and 2 p1s's Looking at buying anther neptune 4 plus. BIG difference between set up and learning. If you could, I'm having an issue. Every time i switch filament, My machine (p1s) Says it is busy with another task. Making me have to shut the p1s completely off for like 10 seconds, i turn it back on and it works fine.. Could you possibly tell me what I'm doing wrong? Much appreciated
I’ve never seen this myself, sorry. Have you tried posting this in one of the Facebook or Reddit groups?
When i 3d printed i went resin and part of me wishes i went FDM this kind of printer is defo my kind with a lot less tinkering needed!
Yeah that relentless stock footage is pretty gruelling, but - I'm subscribed and look forward to more great stuff like this. Thanks.
This seems to be the perfect printer for my needs as my printer just died today. Sadly, don’t know when I can buy one.
Could you put a link to that filament swatches box in?
Excellent video, complete and useful!
You know, my old ABS printer (a very modified Anycubic Mega S with an enclosure) is getting very tired. Maybe I should replace it with the P1S combo and make it my new ABS and multicolor printer. I was considering getting an A1 combo but this would be 2 birds 1 stone. If only there was a helmet class version I wouldn't even have to think about it. Cheers!
so if I understand correctly, with the P1S and the AMS mounted, do you have to change the thread of another color in the same print manually?
no, youy don;t change it manually, it does it automatically
This is literally the first video I've ever watched on 3D printing and my guy almost had me hitting the add to cart and buy buttons for P1S
Don't do it you will be broke from all the filament you buy and get in trouble from the wife for all the time you don't spend with her because you are researching constantly things to print. Ask me how I know. But seriously the P1S is awesome
I have a converted P1P > P1S.. that said X1’s have more features that are worth the money. Bambu rocks.
Think I will be upgrading to the P1s now I need to return my A1. How does this work when printing pla ? Do you have to take the ams off to leave the lid open ?
I printed this AMS riser. it hjas a slot for the glas to leave it open makerworld.com/en/models/19535#profileId-19420 Sorry about the A1 situation, so unfortunate :(
Not your fault. Did buy it based on your review though 😂😂 was in 2 minds about that and the P1s, still am to be honest. Love the content as always.
Use rice instead of silica. I have been putting rice in the salt thingy, works 100%
Does anyone know if future printers are coming from Bambu? I don't mind waiting a little longer if there is.
Yes they will release future printers, but I’ve heard nothing solid
I printed a pretty cool enclosure for my P1P and a plexiglass kit. I just have to stop printing with it long enough to install it.
I guess my problem with picking up a P1S over the X1-C is it feels like the X1 would be more future proof haha. Although at the rate Bambu is moving the X1 may not be as safe so P1S may be more future proof. One other thing i struggle to want t pick up a Bambu because this everyone one else is now. Not sure that make any sense. are there any other brands that do as good. K1Max or maybe the Max3 ?
Great content/review. Side note: hate the stock footage inserts. They're not funny and don't add anything useful. Just show b roll of the printer printing something.
Absolutely agree, lover the video absolutely hate the stock footage.
Great comment/review. Side note: Hated the side note. It’s not helpful and truthfully who gives a shit.
You can take that side note and shove it
I agree with this side note, stock footage is ridiculous and cringe... Your content is good enough by itself...
Have to add that the first time I saw these vids the stock footage made me believe this is one of those chinese bot farm channels with an AI voice..def agree about dropping the stock
I would like to see a comparison of the Qidi Q1 pro and the P1S as they seem to be very similar.
Imagine comparing a binbag with a gold plated refuse collector
ABS is awesome. My goto filament.
Great video! Spot on review. Subscribed!
I have used a resin printer for over two years now, but have been thinking of getting an fdm printer for a while. My main reason is for practical printing as well as wargaming accessories. Still unsure what would be best for me, as i am like you and don't want to tinker, so the bamboo labs printers have caught my eye, but i have a few questions. 1. Does the P1S require an internet connection to function? (WIll it refuse to print/operate without one). 2. Does it also require an app? (does it have features that are only accessible through an app). 3. It features a camera for timelapses and checking prints, but can it also detect print failures and cancel the print in the event of one?. and finally, 4. With the enclosure and filters, would this printer be safe printing while someone is in the same small room as it for long periods of time? Sorry for the long comment, i just want to ensure i am getting the right printer 1st time. Thanks for the informative videos. :)
No worries Without Internet you loose the ability to send prints to it remotely over WiFi. But you can still print by sending files to an as card and popping that in. It can detect some issues but not everything, but it rarely has issues after the base layer is down. The only issue I had was filament run out or jam, and it detects those I have no idea about the safety of what these printers give off however, sorry
@@FauxHammer thanks for replying. I am not to bothered about wirelessly sending files. Nice to have as an option but i would rather not have a “always connected to home base” sort of printer that can be updated firmware wise automatically for better or worse. I think i may go for the p1s as so far it seems the best in terms of an appliance that does a job well and future proofing where filament choice is concerned. 😊 thanks again.
All printers give of fumes and microparticles. We're melting plastic after all. I wouldn't recommend being in the same room unless it's well ventilated to the outside.
Just wanted to say I have a P1S and love it.
Before the A1 came out I was considering buying a P1S but then the A1 came out and I am doing the odd overtime shift so I can get one, but yes the AMA is a better selling point, maybe some clever person will knock up a enclosure for the ams lite. One thing I have seen is how tribal Facebook groups are getting over printers, the elegoo group have been loving the A1 recall, it’s a product manufacturing company not a football team 😂
I'm actually refunding my A1 with the power cable recall and going to buy a P1S combo
any chance you could drop a link to the ams drybox that you printed?
makerworld.com/en/models/83909#profileId-89698
Out of curiosity, how would you compare the P1S to the Flashforge 5m pro, if your weren’t interested in the AMS?
I donated the 5m to a local school, I still have the P1S and will not get rid of it!
Very nice Video. You helped me to click on the order button :-D Now I'm waiting for the printer. I hope the start in this new "hobby" will work in a good way. Can u tell me where I can find the files for the silica gel update for the ams? The room where I have to place the printer is sometimes a lil bit not that dry as it has to be. Therefor I want to use this upgrade. Thanks a lot! :-)
Great to hear!!! Just search for and drybox on makerworld or printables, pick whichever one you like the look of
I have the same bambu. I love it but need a bit of help to design my own part. What software do I need? I have solidworks 2023, do I need a special software? Thank you
I don’t know, sorry, I’m not a sculptor
Save as -> select Stl in file type then drop the Stl on Bambu Studio
Bought an X1 Carbon Combo Saturday. It is my fifth FDM printer. Wanhoa D6, Ender 5 Pro, Ender 2 Pro, FLSun SR with Speeder Pad in that order. If it had been my first I'd have a stable of Bambu machines by now. It's freaking amazing. I'll be very unlikely to buy a different brand for quite some time. Though it seems Creality K1 series is getting closer to this level of plug-and-play.We shall see. The sticker thing is for the replacement build plate sheets you get with the X1-Carbon, I think. Mine came with two replacement surfaces to apply with you wear out the ones applied to the build plate.
Just get the textured PEI plate and never look back. From my admittedly short experience (a couple of weeks) with the K1 Max, it is the only current gen printer that competes with the Bambu's. Not on polish, but on performance. I hated the QIDI X Max 3 and was only too glad to replace it. I'm struggling with the Kobra 2 Max which seems to go from one broke state to another without much printing in between. But the three Bambus (one very new) keep soldiering on and the K1 is right there with them.
@@Immolate62 Would you have a stable of Bambu or K1's I see the K1C and thought about getting that over the P1S
I've owned my P1S since September last year and it likely has over 700 hours of print time on it. This printer has been nothing short of a work horse. No bed levelling needed. In fact it has no limit switches. They've managed to capture the torque increases on the motors to determine where the limits should be. All I know is it's been a world of change from running cheap $400 printers that you have to screw with before printing to this monster that just prints what's it's asked to. I also bought the AMS which is changed my printing experience yet again. The printer and AMS cost me a lot but at then end of the day the savings in aggravation and the quality of the final prints was worth it. Just my 2 cents for what it's worth.
