MK4S is dead, Core One replaces it and seems to be a pretty good competitor to the X1C but Bambu Labs will have something new in Q1 2025 so Core One might get left in the dust soon.

Thank you for the thorough review! I've been in 3D printing since the V400, and have used several brands. I own both the FLSUN V400 and T1Pro. From my experience, FLSUN offers great value for money. The T1Pro has excellent speed and print quality, and it's very stable. It's been working non-stop in my studio since I got it. Just wanted to share my honest thoughts, good machines shouldn't be overlooked.

Love the videos and thanks for the list! I will say you have some weird audio issues in this video. Almost background chatter. Or like you had a retake, and the audio was left in.

You missed the Qidi Q1 Pro at $399. Enclosed core XY with heated chamber.

What size nozzle are you using?

got an A1+AMS Lite combo but will only be shipped on Dec13... longest few weeks of my life

Y3ah still never had any real problems with my neptune 4 max.😊

i bought ender before i knew what bamboo lab was

Hey Frank, I’m planning on making a small print farm for my company i’m working on what printer would you recommend? Right now my number 1 is the Bambu A1 because the prints all looks great and it sounds really reliable. However, I am worried about investing in printers that I may outgrow build plate wise as the models I plan on printing are already pretty tight fits. Would a Neptune 4 Plus or FLSun 400 be comparable to the A1 in terms of quality?

Just bought a Ender 3 V3 Plus and it's gotten me back into the love of the hobby after going on a break from Printer with my Ender 3 V1 the huge build plate and fast speeds of this printer for only $359 right now on Black Friday Sale has really made me super happy with my purchase and with the crazy build volume I'm loving how much I can print at once.

Honestly Id love a 400mm p1s. just scale it up slightly, dont double the price and boom id buy 3

The bambu p1S is microwave simple to use. If I had to buy a printer for a teenager I'd buy it or 3 of them.. I bought 4 of them to build cosplay stuff for myself and my daughters.

You are helpful thanks for the advice i really needed help because I’ve been interested in 3d printing for a while but I didn’t know what to get thanks for the help

The goat 3d printer creator youtube 😮

@Steff3rz: Have the brains that can make Valhalla in an escape room on Earth or 3D print it into some sort of VR using AI or something do this by 2025

i got a k1 max at the start of this year about 3 months in it just stopped turning on and crealitys customer service was a terrible experience and didnt really seem bothered to help me so id personally never buy from k1 again but my a1 and a1 mini have been fantastic

I’ve been playing with the T1 pro as my first printer for about 4 days. I almost pulled the trigger on a P1S. I got the T1 pro on sale when they first came out and only paid $549 Canadian, they covered tax, duty and shipping which is insane. That’s like $20 American 😅. So far it’s been printing perfectly. I printed a beautiful flawless vase with Elegoo rapid pla+ at 800 mms. No ugly spools stuck to the side as the filament is kept inside the closure. It’s also so nice to be able to see the back of the prints with 3 clear panels. It’s an amazing and beautiful machine to watch work. I’m highly recommending this machine and that’s coming from a guy who had no idea how how to print 4 days ago.

Is the Neptune 3 pro a helmet size 3d printer? I’m new to the hobby and I honestly don’t know where to start but I wanna do stuff like helmets and cosplay props.

shoutout to the table manufacturer. they need to use this as advertising asap lol

Dont forget to allow for the youtube video duration at the bottom right on your thumbnails with text

Any news on the Elegoo Centuri Carbon? Thought it was set to release in September but haven't heard anything or seen anything recently.

What about the flashforge 5m?

so i started out with neptune 3 plus right before 4 plus came out thinking it would be better i returned the 3 plus for the 4 plus and non stop problems started for many months i even quit printing for 3 months cause i was frustrated and now i came back and got a p1s and omg what problems it prints amazing and i dont have anxiety to run over and check on it every 5 sec

hi I have a budget to get started and I am 13 and don't have much money I want to know if i should get the a1 with ams or p1s without ams i also just got neptune 4 max and it is not working well i dont know if you canb help with that

Amazing, love this

Oof lol I bought a Lego Neptune 4 pro so ima check and see if it does have a problem still but I will Check.

I totally agree that the P1S is the printer to beat for sure. It’s a workhorse. And like you I’m waiting to see what Bambu releases Q1 2025….. I like my rat rigs but really want a bigger Bambu

Larger Bambu? Better ask a Bank for a new loan.

After one Bambu, don't want another... Hate the close garden approach of their devices. Network issues, and more. Have Bambu x1c at work and k1 max (with open klipper (K2 on the way). Wouldn't bumbu again.

Got a pis combo and just ordered the k2 combo, as fed up on waiting for bambus new larger printer , love your video's and your amazing cosplay stuff . 👍

nicely done, man. Youre one of the few youtuber that i dont have to watch at 1.5X speed. Keep it up!

I've had the V400 for a couple of years and love it, it's definitely worth the price! I paid nearly double that when it released, and still think it's worth it. My next one is between the K2 Plus and the X1C, I'm not sure yet.

Just ordered my first 3d printer yesterday! I saw one of your videos years ago and just found them again. I got the A1 combo after watching your, and others, videos!

You can get that engineering material capability from the P1S with a nozzle and extruder upgrade for $35. "But I don't want to make upgrades!". You'll need to do nozzle and gear upgrades at some point for maintenance anyways. So don't think as an upgrade, think of it as out of box maintenance.

I’d absolutely love to see the v400 vs the p1s, don’t know which is better

What filler primer do you use the ones I got aren’t the best

Is the cfs going to work on the k1 max?

Prusa Core One going to shake these up and i'm not one of those prusa fans lol

I know a billion of people have said it but man these tutorials are so insanely applicable. You rule, dude.

Frank! - Just wanted to say thanks! Your videos have been incredibly helpful! - I ended up selling a fair bit of my crypto so that I could pull the trigger on a Bambu P1S! And after a few small / mid range prints I couldn’t be any happier. I hmmd and hawd over creality, and qudi but in the end went with Bambu! Also side note to any fellow Canadians, I ordered the P1S and had it within 3 business days!

I have the Kobra 3 and it’s been terrible.ending up getting a a1 mini. For multi filament.

Love my 4 pro. I've heard the same problems. I've never experienced them.

Trying to decide between Creality K1 Max and Bambu P1S *edited … bought the Creality K1 Max, hope I made the right decision.

Why are you using old printers. The neptune 3s aren't available any more.

How about the Qidi?

My FL Super Racer is 💩

Neptune 4's are great!

Comparing Bambu and Prusa is like comparing PC and Apple, or Android and Apple. One is not better than the other, but one is for people who prefer plug and play with a nice suite, while the other is for people who like to dig in, figure how it works, and tinker a bit. I like Bambu machines, but I like how My MK3 became my MK3S, then MK3S+, and now MK4S. ...and next Core One.

Hey Frank. Always love these videos as your input is more than valued. Question: how come you never talk about the FLASHFORGE brand? Just bought the adventurer 5m a couple weeks ago and it has been awesome for a core xy printer. Slightly smaller than the P1S but a couple hundred bucks cheaper. Did you have a bad experience or just never a printer you dove into?
