I'm thinking of getting the Bambu Labs P1S, anything that I should be aware of? Anybody got one? Thoughts?

I've had one for about a month, and I've been printing nearly non-stop with it. If you just want a printer that works out of the box, prints fast, and prints really nice... It's a great machine. I've owned and operated a lot of printers (at work, at home, at school, at a makerspace) over the last 12 years, and I'm not a fan of the cloud or proprietary hardware but, damn... this thing prints really, really nice... and fast.

I was leaning on buying a Prusa for the repairability / upgradability and general openness of their products. Have you tried any of their printers? Would you say they’re more fiddly than the bamboo?

I have a Prusa MINI and used Prusa i3 machines where I used to work. They are pretty solid, and I do like their open source ideals quite a bit. But I needed/wanted a larger print area for a price under $1,000 USD and the Bambu fit the bill.

Thank you for your reply. I don’t need a large surface so I think I will gob with one of Prusa’s models
