From what I can tell right now for off-the-shelf printers, the best you can get is either the Kingroon KP3S (inexpensive ~$170), the Bambu P1P (mid-range $700), or the Bambu X1 (intro high cost $1200 - $1500) depending on your price point.

@@vadeka the prusa is great don’t get me wrong but bambu makes it somewhat hard to mess up a print along with great amenities like the mobile app. More in depth; Being able to start a print and just leave then check your phones live feed of the print is very nice. (X1-carbon) It really comes down convenience/ease of use > open ended and upgradable. I think the software and the creature comforts of the bambu outweigh the upgradability of the prusa. Especially since you really don’t need to upgrade anything if you get the X1 carbon. If and big IF bambu stays around and keeps parts cheap. That is the biggest gamble. For the price you can’t go wrong with either. Of course if you get the P1P bambu then I think it is undeniably the best printer under 1K. Since it is just a stripped X1.

There have been bugs in the firmware and as it stands, you are at the mercy of them responding and fixing the issue, which could be weeks, if you get a firmware bug like I and many got. Instead of waiting weeks for an update and breaking my head trying to figure out what was wrong, I could have just rolled back the firmware if it was an option and have my printer be functional right away. Then there's the question, why would a firmware bug only break some machines and not all.

The only thing I feel was missing in this video was being critical and more detailed in commenting on the "problematic" connectivity, app and cloud stuff. The issues were mentioned in the video, but then the workarounds for the "problematic" choices of Bambu were not mentioned. It was like: "Yeah Bambu has made some very problematic choices, but you can get around them with some effort, but still we really think you should buy this printer" which is not a very honest/moral/clear take. I understand it is a sponsored video, but it would be better if you made up your mind in a clear way, to either just make an AD video and not critical at all or be critical and spend time on the negatives as well. Now you mentioned the negatives, without being actually critical and explaining to the viewers what you don't like about the P1P.

@@olimations Yes, exactly he mentioned the issues, but did not go into explaining why they are a problem and how easy or difficult it is to overcome the issues. I am not sure that viewers understood that it is a very cloud oriented, proprietary ecosystem with concerns about connectivity and data privacy by default. This is very much the anti-consumer mentality/business model of not having full control of a device that you own and paid for. Example the LAN-only mode is supported for the P1P only with the latest firmware update that was released 3 days ago, before that P1P owners were not able to overide the cloud (at least in an easy way). I think it is not a coincidence that the video was released so close to the firmware update, while also the P1P has been shipping for over two months now.

Yes, there are dual color filaments. There are also dual extruder printers [basically two print heads/nozzles, each with its own filament]. Then there are printers that automatically change filaments for you on the fly [via either an extruder change or loading/unloading filament for you]. Quite a few options.

It’s like an appliance. It isn’t meant to be tinkered with or tuned, it’s like you’re refrigerator in that regard. I think we all love being relatively early in the game of consumer 3d printing and the fact that we have to constantly tune our machines solidifies that we are still early, but I think it’s time now that some of us move onto something that maybe doesn’t need constant work, something that just… prints. The p1p isn’t all the way there yet imo. But I think what you said at the end of the video is the key here, the other companies WILL come out with their answers. I wouldn’t be surprised if the p1p ends up kinda flopping in the long term if the other companies play their cards right, but I think it’s started something big

[@3DMusketeers]

I wish my X1 Carbon was this nice.. It was a lemon unfortunately. I have hope for them yet, but the QA and QC needs to get handled. I am hoping the replacement is better, we shall see. But I was running sub 40% success on mine. Nice look at the P1P though! I enjoyed it!

[@3DMusketeers]

@@LilApe I doubt that.. I dont think LTT as a company would support that. As a content creator, any comment with a link is auto flagged for me because people normally post crap in them and nothing useful lol, so maybe it was a YT thing like we have.

Thank you, I was just about to jump on a 3D printer, but now I will reconsider. Great gob and great Hosting. Thanks Dan! 🙂

[@TheYrthenarc]

Why on Earth does sending the files from your computer sitting on your desk to your printer also sitting on your desk have to involve a cloud service? That's just stupid.

[@JasonRobards2]

The wlan connectivity on this thing is pants. I could not set it up because my smartphone uses an older Blue Tooth protocol. Or perhaps some other reason. Their customer support was unable to help.

[@skeleton_jelly]

I got a p1p about 1 month or so ago and its great, glad to see it on short circuit

[@LilApe]

19:28 Tell me bambu lab paid you without telling me bambu lab paid you... You used the printer for one whole piece and are now saying "buy only this printer and no other"....without mentioning the glaring issues with them and the company. -Awful build quality, from warped beds, clogged nozzles, broken AMS units, broken heatbed cables, broken MB fans, broken electronics from PSU's to extruder parts. -Terrible customer service that takes days to respond to support tickets, then takes weeks to ship parts after a bunch of back and forth nonsense. -Violating open source licenses -No crash detection, resulting in bent nozzles and damaged build plates. -A cloud system that goes down often, refusing to let people print until back online. - NON SERVICEABLE, bambu lab wants you to send the printer back for repair when certain parts fail. Like the CF rods and bronze bushings. -Severe lack of transparency, they blatantly rip off open source innovations, while slapping a proprietary label on it, then contributing less than the minimum to the open source projects. Guess who does NONE of the above? The "competitor", which he meant to say is prusa.

I've never owned a 3d printer before. I actually ordered an MK3 the day before the MK4 was announced. In the meantime, a friend of mine showed me his Bambu X1. He also owns a Prusa and a few others but ended up talking me into the Bambu for very much the reasons you talk about. He said it worked out of the box with minimal configuration and recommended it for a beginner. Mine comes Friday :) i'm excited to use it.

Just got here. Yay new Dan video!! Let's goooo

[@marktownsend2384]

It's funny. My partner and I want a new 3D printer because we were fed-up with our old Ender 5 for being so crap. We'd been looking at a Prusa but then I saw the Lab Update the other day and Dan had the Bambu printers set up. I'd never heard of them so I looked them up and found the P1P. I told my partner and it went to the top of the list of choices for our next printer. A few days later and Dan gives us this stellar review. Thanks very much!

[@LilApe]

Do your research on them, They are unreliable and non serviceable. Stick with prusa if you want something that will still work after a 100hrs.

[@logitech4873]

@@LilApe "Stick with prusa if you want something that will still work after a 100hrs." Got 220 hours on mine without issues this far.

[@Micromation]

Sounds like it's finally a time to get a 3D printer - a time where you longer have to fight with the device and teoubleshoot it but instead devote 100% of the time to creative process. Took a while but we got there in the end 😊

[@bigdawghoss9871]

I picked one of these up a couple weeks back and i am very happy with it. My only advice is to be careful with firmware updates on the printer. When they first launch they break features. the 1.3 firmware broke wifi printing. Hope they fix it soon. That said. even with that issue. Printing from SD card works great. Its FAST and very high quality. Overall i really love this thing

[@jeffhunter12]

Great video, as someone who got into 3d printing not too long ago due to miniature painting its awesome to see these get talked about

[@xisplo]

I really enjoy Dan's videos. This was a good product review.

[@yuxuanhuang3523]

Fun fact, bambu is said to be formed from previous DJI engineers, that's where they got the design language and user-friendly interface. Also they did a really good design job with the mechanical parts.

[@thecarbonprop]

Fortunate enough to have invested in an X1C with AMS. Fantastic 3D Printer. It has its growing pains for sure. But if their first printer is any indication of what’s to come then we are in for some cool models in the future. 🎉

[@wallnuts7]

I have had my p1p for the last two moths and its seriously beast! With an enclosure its just as capable as an X1

[@TheMorrowgamer]

I bought the Bambu X1C. It arrived a week ago and has been printing almost non-stop since then. It's wonderful!

[@notswedishbacon]

How are you finding the noise?

[@TheMorrowgamer]

The loudest part is the startup sequence where it does all of its self calibrations and such and ramps up. Once it's printing it's not all that loud outside of when it's making some quick jerking motions within a small area.

[@garynagle3093]

Another great Dan review. Love the pacing and honest opinion. Makes me wish a needed a 3d printer

[@andrewsahadeo3598]

this is the most humble and honest guy I've ever seen on youtube

[@timothytherrien3624]

those of you who have not 3d printed before have no idea how many lightyears ahead of other printers the bamboo lineup is. sure, you could build a voron 2.4 with many mods to get the same sort of corexy printer using klipper which has these vibration compensations etc etc. but what you don't realize is that those are all DIY models you build yourself from scratch. These bamboo printers come out of the box, run all the calibrations themselves (which takes another 10-100 hours), then starts printing. its incredible. so incredible that I don't own one yet for my 3d printing business because it's almost too good to be true. need more time to air out and fix unknown issues. Once that has been done, it will be mine

[@NosManJr]

The nozzle knows where it is at all times Cuz it knows where it isn't

[@JohnnyBsKillz115]

Just bought one of these after several months of wanting one and slowly saving up. Super excited to get this! Upgrading from an Ender 3... Going to be a huge jump!!

[@Garwinium]

mine just came in the mail yesterday, can confirm this printer is goated

[@Garwinium]

oh one tip though, the default heatbed temperature is only 35 degrees for Bambu Studio, if you use their software I would strongly recommend increasing the heatbed temperature to 60 or even 70 degrees for PLA, took me a while to figure out that's the reason my prints kept getting unstuck and going spaghetti

[@Ax195el]

Make the LTT deskpad as it is but add a UV layer on the circuit traces so the electric traces are lit if u have an ultraviolet light. ( and maby on the nothern lights, colored uv )

[@Ax195el]

UV-reactive northern lights deskpad

[@TheEnigmaBlade]

The "vibration compensation" is actually called resonance compensation. Because the printer accelerates and moves so quickly, any resonance in the system at specific frequencies can create visible "waves" on the surface of the print. Resonance compensation adjusts the speed and acceleration of the printer on the fly to avoid those resonances and keep your external perimeters looking nice the smooth. :)

[@majicMix911]

Just bought the printer because of this video. Order submitted and product on the way.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned it but Linus has made such an amazing team, all people that host a video are so passionate for tech and when they branch out to specific categories I enjoy it so much and I value each of there opinion. It’s such an amazing team.

omg this thing is insanely fast. I bought myself an Ender 3 a while back ... but might find myself getting a Bambu printer now!

[@ryanlillie8469]

Looking great Dan and you do an awesome presentation and sponsored review!

[@MattariOnline]

Thanks Bambu for sponsoring ShortCircuit. I've been eyeing your printers since seeing the X1's in LTT videos, but it's always been a bit out of price range. Seeing that the P1P is a more budget-allowable model, and hearing this praise plus praise online, I've purchased one. For what it's worth, if the QR codes for the filaments are made open, that would've made a HUGE impact towards the buying decision and there wouldn't have been a "decision," just in my opinion. Also sadly the P1P camera isn't currently in-stock, but whenever it does show up, I'll look forward to getting one.

[@giacomo.1574]

Went and bought it as soon as this video was over. I'm in awe

[@MadRC]

Amazing work Dan. You smashed this out the park. And yes it’s a fantastic printer as well.

[@ashleys3dprintshop]

Great to see the little bro of the X1/X1C get featured. It is a neat pla/petg printer and great entry for reasonable price.

[@sekazi]

I have been watching these printers and really like them. I went from a XYZ Da Vinci 1.0 to a Creality Ender-3 and my next will most likely be a Bambu.

[@kernkraft-2354]

This was a great video. I'd love to see a similar pace and tone with other prosumer products. It kinda reminded me of some of Wendel's reviews from Level1Techs. It is engaging without being over-the-top.

This next gen printer is changing the game. I’ve got a few videos coming soon on them I absolutely love the Ams as well. Just fantastic.

[@wagonet]

Dan does the best content. Straightforward

[@ionceateapinecone]

I watched him slam the shit out of that table while it was printing and the printer was not phased a bit. 100% sold on this badboy *adds to cart*

[@billdberger7407]

I have an x1c and there are a few teething problems to be sure, the one plaguing me right now is the tool head cover falling off I believe because the magnets aren't strong enough to endure some of the really fast direction changes. Another bad one is usually the first print after an AMS filament change fails on the first layer (the nozzle seems too low which drags and causes a terrible mess) even when going from PETG to PETG of a different color... And to that the only way to adjust Z offset is in the start G-code, that could and should easily be a real time adjustment on the printer. I know it's also a slicer profile thing because the bambu filament profiles always print better than the generic ones. The last of my serious issues is with the magnets keeping the print sheet attached to the bed, when printing generic nylon (nylon requires painters tape with all/any of the sheets) the tool head can actually MOVE the sheet and knock into the glass/shift the Y axis so it's either 0% adhesion or far too much... Having said all that my 3d printer experience has helped me work around all those issues and I'm confident they can be fixed with relative ease, there are no fundamental faults and I can say I'm happy with my purchase though I wish I had bought it at the kickstarter price then I'd be elated with it. Oh and the app, I have no desire to have some Chinese server as the middle man for everything I do with my printer when I'm in the same room and I've already set up a wireguard vpn for anything else. The LAN only mode has obviously been intentionally crippled as you cannot use the included USB camera or LAN file transfer, I'm not the only person angry about this and I've read that an improved LAN mode is in the works for me the sooner the better.
