3D Printers are now a Tool! P1S and X1C Comparison

[@JeffArtz]

@14:40 - The reason for the differences in the video from the printers is that the X1C has a multi-core Linux computer (similar to a Raspberry Pi) as the controller, so it can do full-motion video. The P1S has a much slower ESP32 Microcontroller (no Linux) which can only do photo snapshots. But the slower processor doesn't really affect the print speed or quality, as the controller is just feeding the movement commands to the motion controller. For that reason, the P1S is just as fast as the X1C.

[@timtomnec]

Don't forget about Jan of 2038, that's the true test of if they will still work

[@Vel1th]

Your other videos inspired me to finally pull the trigger on 3d printing and decided to pick up a P1S + AMS combo about a month ago. Its been an amazing experience because all I wanted was a tool for designing and printing functional prints. Your entire video perfectly sums up my experience with the printer and as a beginner to 3d printing I would say you cant go wrong with either of these bad boys.

[@calledout4437]

Love my P1S. It’s more than paid for itself with my eBay and Etsy sales. And the quality is almost as good as injection molding.

[@rrb79]

What's your etsy? Would like to see the possibilities!

[@TimberThoughts]

I think your conclusion at the end was spot on and could really help a person decide what is best for them. Just makes sense for a beginner with a ~$2K budget to go with X1C (plug & play, touch screen, minimum obstacle, 'value of convenience & time' option). Thank you for making this video. Loved the simplicity in explaining things and surely helped me decide on my first 3D printer !

[@zeyphr0505]

Man, i just got the a1 mini and have really been enjoying it. Great timing on this video and totally agree that its just a tool now rather than a gimmick or tinker hobby (in the sense of just fiddling with the printer rather than just printing)

[@ParrishWhistler]

I am looking to get into this space. Right now this is my hobby and I am blessed to have a great job where I have the budget to get the x1c. And like you I have watched countless videos on what to choose. I have come to the conclusion on the x1c because I want it to work I want to enjoy the printing and results and not get frustrated. I expect to turn this into a supplement income some day. I would tell others buy the best machine you can afford get as much features as you can. It will make your learning more fun and exciting

Possibly at the time of filming it hadn't made its way to the P1S yet. It was first released on the X1C firmware and later became available on the p series.

I keep wanting to remind Hoocho and channel regulars that there was a group in the US called 3dponics that designs 3d prints for hydroponics and aquaponics. I would love to see Hoocho reach out to them and the growing with fishes podcast. I would love to see what the crossover would bring.

As an owner of the P1S who has often wondered what I gave up by not getting the X1C, this video was great. It was nice to see someone who initially made the same decision for the same reasons and then later got to try the X1C. I also really liked the controlling multiple printers suggestion you made to Bambu.

Just bought the P1S 10 days ago. Absolutely love it. Very high quality. Very fast.

[@jeremycarrillo7399]

Welcome to the bambu labs side, I was an early bird Kickstarter backer for an x1c with ams. I will eventually get a p1s as a second single filament printer but wouldn't trade my x1c ams. I found issues with the cardboard spools getting stuck in the ams even with the plastic rails. There are printable adapter cores from the cardboard spools to the bambu refill spools where you remove the cardboard sides press in the core and assemble as if it were a refill. Those worked pretty good. I ended up going with direct orders of master spools and refills from sunlu. Its basically the easiest and least expensive/wasteful option i have found for black petg.

[@billbyrd9845]

Like you, I came from Enderland and enoyed every minute of it. But I came into a little cash and decided to see what all the Bambu hubhub was about. I put one toe in the water by getting the A1mini. I'd see how I liked their ecosystem. If I liked it, I'd order one of the big guys. I love that little A1mini! So I had to decide whether to go with the P1S or the X1Carbon. The P1S was sooo much cheaper than the X1C and only lacked things I didn't feel like I needed anyhow, and if I decided to get an AMS, I could retro-fit it. I love the P1S! I still don't know that I care enough about multi-filament types and colors to order the AMS add on. So... except for the lame LCD monitor on the P1S, I'm very happy and saved a lot of money. If I decide to buy another printer, I'll probably get the P1S again. In the meantime, maybe they'll come out with a "P1S Plus", a P1S with the X1C monitor for a couple hundred more bucks (US).

[@JRxxx]

This video has been so helpful. I've been printing things for about 8 months now on an ender 3 and the print time has kept me doing a lot of the prints I want. The shortened print time, while maintaining quality, and monitoring is exactly what I'm looking for.

[@raspberrypiploy771]

It's so nice to see someone that uses the machines for practical items instead of the incredible amount of landfill we constantly see. I am just about to push the button on the P1S after testing and using the A1 Mini for 6 months, which really is just a case of sending the print without wasting time on tinkering. Also the quality I have achieved has far exceeded anything I had seen from many other machines, some costing far more than the A1 Mini. Im gonna have to watch this video a few times to fully understand how your achieving those examples of using the ams for things such as your logo etc, its a great solution especially when you want to reduce wastage but provide a really professional result. Both of your examples are excellent. Thanks for this review it really has been helpful. Oh one other thing did you know that the Bambu Lab app can act as a central control for multiple printers also there is the Bigtreetech Panda Touch which is a mobile touch screen allowing control of many Bambu printers. I actually purchased a unit from aliexpress and it works brilliantly I paid £45 so roughly $90Aus -)

[@yevgeniyfedorov2381]

I think anyone who had to play with both p1s and x1c at the same time would inevitably get spoiled by quality-of-life improvements x1c brings to the table. If some extra feature is available, why not use it -- and, by using it, you get hooked until you cannot imagine is your life without said feature. If you have only a P1S without x1c to spoil you, I believe it is quite easy to adjust the workflow accordingly and make it almost as efficient. For instance, that small screen on P1S is much less of a hindrance if you don't use it at all after the initial setup (which is very possible). P1S also has one unexpected advantage over X1C that most reviewers forget to mention -- being encased in plastic instead of aluminium, it should be able to maintain chamber temperature more easily because plastic is much less thermoconductive. Ironically, it would make P1S more suitable for printing warp-prone materials than X1C. And of course, changing the nozzle and the gear on P1S to hardened steel version is a no-brainer, considering the price.

[@geoffreyhowells7290]

The P1P was my introduction to the 3D printing world. This machine has been AMAZING (out-of-the-box, plug n play). The largest learning-curve was performing maintenance. Thank God for the endless source of information on YT. As a proprietary machine, Bambu Lab has excellent support and very reasonably priced parts and upgrades. And they nailed the aesthetics. This is one fine-looking machine. Over-all, this is one of the most satisfying purchases ever made. Personally, I would recommend the A1 Mini to anyone on a budget or new to 3D printing; it's a less expensive way to test the water. However, I would totally go with the P1S simply because it provides more options and has a much more conformed and sleeker design. Both machines are different but top-notch, imho. If looking to use the printer for parts, tools, et. the AMS is not even necessary. 95% of what I print is single color anyway, adding a needless expense. I don't even feel that having the multi-colored capability would even be worth it.

[@MisterkeTube]

I don't print multicolor, but the AMS is totally worth it. Just being able to print any of the loaded materials and have seamless filament continuation when a role runs out by just having another role of the same material in the AMS is worth more than multicolor capability.

[@mjordan812]

Thanks for this. It helped me make a decision. I started with an Ender 3 and seemed to spend more time futzing and upgrading it than I actually did printing things. I presently have a Prusa Mk4 (soon to be a Mk4s) and an FLSun SR Delta - both of which work extremely well - the Prusa especially. Ergo, I think that the X1C would be my choice, as I would regret saving a few bucks initially only to start upgrading bits later (I know myself all too well). This is a hobby for me, but I do want to be able to print functional tools and similar things with fussy filaments - so an enclosed printer is the way to go. Thanks again.

Is it not under international contract law that you received goods that are not fit for purpose?

Customer service of Bambu Lab is really bad yes. It's like talking to some kind of shady Aliexpress seller. I had received my first P1S unit with factory damage all over. Scratches, dents, bend screen connectors etc. Contacted customer support and they just acted like they didn't cared. And they were not offering any solutions nor compensations. You really need to bite off of you, otherwise they will do nothing if they don't feel you're serious about it. You need to make some clear demands to them. Like I want my money back or I want to have a replacement. Otherwise they won't do anything. After returning the first unit I got a replacement, but had to refuse it at the door since the box was already heavily damaged from transport. I didn't wanted all the Bambu Lab communications anymore, as you're taling against a wall. So I just refused the parcel, just letting them argue about the damage and whose fault it is with the carrier. The 3th unit I've received has mechanical issues on badly calibrated axes. They already wanted me to disconnect the Z-axes and going to tinker on a 1 week old €1000 machine myself, while it should be just a well working and calibrated machine straight from the factory. So I just demanded my money back now. Seems they really having some issues at the assembly line there at Bambu Labs and they really need to invest in propper support and quality checks.

[@IndianaDiy]

Bambu Printers are Awesome! Only thing I want to do with my p1s is Upgrade to a heavy duty power cord that’s 6ft long.

[@rockels_journals]

Both are available in a combo version, with the difference that the P1S combo is about €600 cheaper then the X1C. Almost all the benefits the X1C has, can sort of be integrated into the P1S, but for a way lower price. - Panda Touch, a touchscreen that can control over 10 Bambu Lab printers, and which also lets you graphically control the AMS unit on the P1S for just €50. - Hardened steel nozzle for €20. - Hardened steel gears for €20. And you almost have a X1C for just €100 more instead of €600 more. Only features that stay is the Lidar and the AI (with the slightly better camera). The Lidar is just a gimmick that scans the first testing grid for calibration. If it's unable to scan the calibration pattern, then it automatically falls back to the calibrated flowrate value, which already does a decent job on it's own with a verry fast and simple manual calibration. Which actually makes Lider a little bit obsolete. I even wouldn't be surprised that we won't see it back on a P1S/X1C follow up. Makes it only missing the AI functionality, which might be a handy feature, but I don't think that's worth €500.

[@CreativeDesign75CZ]

Where does it say that? "If it's unable to scan the calibration pattern, then it automatically falls back to the calibrated flowrate value, which already does a decent job on it's own with a verry fast and simple manual calibration." First time I've heard that.

Hey Hoocho, check out the Panda Touch screens. They allow you to control multiple Bambu Lab printers from a single hub like you described. By the way, you can do some color change stuff even without an AMS. You just need to pause at the height you want to change it at, which is a great way to do logos or text (although it's essentially limited to being on a top surface).

@@DraftID Well it's possible yes. I accidentally configured a PETG spool as a PLA spool and printed a multicolor print with embedded letters. I found out later that I accidentally addressed the wrong kind of filament in the AMS. So I now have PLA case with PETG embedded letters. And it's holding up surprisingly well.

[@DraftID]

@@rockels_journals Thats pretty cool. Because its embedded I can see them meshing together, if it was text sitting on top (embossed) it likely wouldnt hold.

[@rockels_journals]

@@DraftID Probably not no, but it also was on accident. As far as I know you can't print PLA and PETG together with the recent Studio firmware. It just won't let you. But you can select PETG as support filament on a PLA print and visa versa. I accidentally configured a PETG spool as PLA. So for Studio it was a PLA spool loaded into the AMS on that moment, letting me print PETG letters embedded in PLA. Probably not ideal, but it's holding up well for now. It might be a usefull trick when you're out of filament. And needing to finish a simple project.

Thank you for the very informative video. I've been watching as many of these types of videos as I can to decide which printer to get (x1c or p1s). I think this video has finally made me realize what choice is right for me. It's the x1c. I've been 3d printing for about 8 years. First was a cheap anet, next was a prusa, and now i'm getting a bambu with ams. I've never had printer capable of multi-material, so this will be my biggest upgrade. Since the x1c color screen makes dealing with the materials in the ams so easy, I think I would regret not having it. That really is my only real reason for choosing the x1c as the p1s is such a great deal. I just want that ams integration on the screen because that's where you are when dealing with and changing materials... at the printer. So I'm willing to pay for it.

All I ever use is Bambulab

[@TravelingStacker]

I'm an Ultimaker user myself. Bambu makes some damn nice stuff.

[@Schneiw]

Stumbled across this vid. Not sure what I would do with it.

[@dylanking1895]

Same, video popped up, I want one but no idea what I’d use it for…

[@dertythegrower]

You would be surprised the youtubers that print things in the states you legally cannot have made there on your big island, heh. They have replaced big factories that make small plastic parts... for sure. Also there is spools of hemp for 3d printers(made a video on it over 4 years ago)

[@flawlesskrush2145]

You need to incorporate an air conditioner! lol Good video btw Do you have an A1? I'd love to see it stacked up with these.

[@krismiller2002]

I sold my ender 3 after I got my X1C. Then I got a P1P. I LOVE these printers. Still have an Ender 5 Plus for the huge bed, but I rarely print with it because it takes SOOOO long. I use my P1P for cardboard spools. Had a couple issues with my AMS on the X1C but as soon as I printed an LED riser, all my AMS problems were resolved. These machines are SOOO fast!! BambuLabs has changed the face of 3D printing. If Apple made a 3D printer, it’d be the X1C 😂

[@SimonHenderson-ir5sw]

What filament do you suggest using? ABS isn't food safe, but PLA isn't IV stable?

[@Hoocho]

PETG every day

[@trexgamer73]

WOW!!!! Dude be SWEATING! Great comparison video mate!

[@sciencesaves]

lol they have always been a tool. Now they are an appliance.

[@richardbennett8678]

As for your cardboard spools, could you just use super glue on the edges?

[@johncarr123]

Understand they will be releasing a larger platform printer 3rd quarter.

[@TheCapnchronick]

3rd quarter of what? 2025? Their website just says a new build plate and 2 types of filament is coming in the next 2 weeks

[@Paul-iy9fr]

All I ever use is K1 Max

[@steve-adams]

Oof, this is hard to watch. I'm on a FlashForge Creator Pro (around 4 years old now) and these Bambu Labs printers have been way too appealing. I get so many print failures, the print quality isn't great to begin with, various capabilities like bridging or speed are very poor... But it works. I can't justify an upgrade. Yet. The X1C is really expensive (though dirt cheap given how much better it is compared to the competition), so I think I'll save until my Creator Pro is unbearable to use. I agree about the pros/cons of proprietary hardware and software. I'm fine with it if the user experience is so dramatically better.

[@BethBarrows]

So get the Flashforge Adventurer 5MPro, awesome printer, much less expensive, comparable!

[@ralfputz6076]

What software are you using to design your works of art?

[@Hoocho]

Fusion 360 mate

[@twsbibanghorn7343]

I had enough of the Enders and looking at these 2.
