P1P/P1S Review After 3000 Hours of Printing

[@lifetech101]

I appreciate your insights on these 2 printers. I have a p1p custom upgrade to p1s. Over 3000 hours on the machine so far with zero major issues. Only replaced nozzles 4 times so far printing with pla. I usually print in silent mode as to not stress the components of the machine. I really enjoy the quality of the prints.

[@NotAnotherPrintingChannel]

I have moved mine to a new state and put them through hell and there still going strong. I even added 2 more p1s to the shop

[@Krunkle78]

I just got the P1S combo and so far love it!

[@NotAnotherPrintingChannel]

Just ordered my 3rd one i love em

[@justinpeach8431]

Any trouble ? or did it print perfect out the box?

[@NotAnotherPrintingChannel]

@ perfect out of the box every bambu printer of mine has been like that

[@chrislambe400]

My first printer is a P1S with AMS. Not interested in multi color print yet, but the AMS is still great for having a bunch of different filaments ready to go when you need them or for automatically switching during print when a spool is empty.

[@mettscientist]

Bought my A1 mini combo exactly because of that and it was so worth it. Over 30h but no multi coloured printed parts yet. I love this machine and it's insane what you're getting for 199€ if you don't need an AMS lite. I hope they will release an A1 "Max" later this year and if not I'll buy hopefully an A2 or A1 with another AMS. Really was against close source especially if they are using Klipper Features. The latest firmware obviously has KAMP. But will still get a third open source printer for PC and nylon.

[@Blackirishize]

great insight, I just ordered a P1S. thank you

[@NotAnotherPrintingChannel]

I have 4 and im waiting for bambulabs next printer.

[@josefsteiner9401]

I’m so blessed I have a cousin in New York sponsored by bambu and said he’d work on all my printers he has like 75 machines in a wear house from custom built vorons to to moded ender 5s to a wall of bambus lol I got to meet him for the first time and I wanted to live in his work shop

[@theshawnrulesshow2767]

This was a great video, thank you. I am looking to upgrade my wife's Ender 3, and this P1S looks like a great option. Bed leveling and sticking was always something she had issues with. It seems like this one is a lot better on that.

[@NotAnotherPrintingChannel]

Highly recommend the upgrade thats what i upgraded from

[@richard_wenner]

I'm so impressed with the performance of my P1s Having built my own and also owned several other commercial models this really is impressive. Good luck with yours.

[@NotAnotherPrintingChannel]

@ im up to 4 now haha

[@carfish]

I e had the X1 Carbon for about a week, I’ve run maybe a dozen relatively small prints on it so far, PLA and PETG filaments. The thing is a beast. I’ll sometimes just sit there and watch it print, it’s so cool! I also have run the tests/calibrations on every print, and after all the review videos I watched before making my purchase, I’m really pleased to have had no issues at all, no spaghetti, no bad stringing, no stuck prints or warped ones. Really is a ‘set it and forget it’ machine. As for the poop, I just used the box I got from the filament spools and pulled my desk like an inch from the wall, the poop falls right into the box, not a big issue at all

[@caseymoody2223]

just got my first 3d printer about a week ago and im hooked on the hobby. Went with the ender 3 v3se and it has been a little frustrating with the bed leveling and z offset but coming from a mechanical back ground im capable of understanding the issues and have solved most of them ( not getting the filiment to stick to the bed being main issue). I am planning on keeping the ender but am already looking into getting a second printer and so far the P1S really has my attention. Great video BTW.

[@Shadowmosesarea51]

Great review, my wife is getting me my first printer for Christmas, I have nailed it down to the P1S or the flashforge 5m pro , the thing I’m concerned about is the Bambu or so I have been told needs a constant internet connection otherwise it won’t work

[@borryx401]

That is false. You can use the SD card slot just like every other printer on the market.

[@paulusdeboskabouter9753]

I wanted a printer with enclosure for printing other filament than PLAS and PETG so I sold my A1 and bought the P1S. The P1S got a lot off warping with PLA especially on the left side. For every day printing cleaned my plate with hot water and soap. So I was disappointed and want the A1 back. Looked at internet and there was a lot of the same problem. What I thought could be the problem was the Aux Fan and that seems the solution they mentioned. Tried it on 10% and 0% and It worked for me. No warping with PLA. Hope it will continue so.

[@NotAnotherPrintingChannel]

Never had pla warp on me how strange

[@ingGS]

The P1P and the X1C used to have the same max bed temp, Bambu changed it later. The only reason I can find is commercial, they wanted to differentiate them further.

[@NotAnotherPrintingChannel]

My p1p still is 100bed temp and 300 nozzle. I knew they changed it but i haven’t noticed because i don’t print a lot of poly

[@dieselphiend]

I bought my first 3d printer in 2016. A Micromake Delta. For what it was, it worked great. I've had numerous printers since then, and my most recent addition is the P1S. If you're on the fence about buying one of these, don;t be, they are worth every penny. The print quality is phenomenal. I had no idea Bambu had RFID built into their filament rolls. With the AMS, it makes loading filaments so easy. Bambu Lab is the Apple of 3d printing.

[@NotAnotherPrintingChannel]

Agreed

[@blackrul3z]

The mini don't have a lidar, it calibrate the nozzle pressure. The lidar6is an x1 exclusive, and kinda gimmick, it will run the calibration, scan, and send it even if the nozzle is partially clogged. Same thing for spagetti detection. The x1 can do it, but only if you use light filament. Brown, black, etc will just not trigger that detection and you just loose the print.

[@coloradocornbread6996]

Yes the mini uses an internal eddy current sensor for calibration of flow dynamic

[@oibaf1420]

@Bambo97 does it really help? Thats my biggest concern at the moment cause the printer has to be in my living room and 80 db would be too much, even if i am not there.

[@Bambo97]

@@oibaf1420 yes it definetly helps. Also Bambu Lab tweaked their filament profiles so that they don't run the fans at 100% all the time. I would not call it whisper quiet but it is quieter than my Cr10s pro. Not sure if i'd put it right next to my tv or couch though. However it is definetly not 80db more like 50-60

[@HanleysHatchlings]

Would you advise opening the door when printing PLA or just increasing the fan speed inside to ensure it is cool as heat can tamper with the build quality. Thanks!

[@NotAnotherPrintingChannel]

I don’t change anything when printing pla. My doors stay closed and the aux cooling fan isnt changed at all never had an idsue

[@HanleysHatchlings]

@NotAnotherPrintingChannel thanks for the information am new to the 3D printing and had a bad print and I was assuming this was down to heat within the enclosed printer as it states this when printing it can cause issues. Many thanks I will try figure out what happened. Printer P1S

[@NotAnotherPrintingChannel]

@ theres many factors to pla warping. Usually caused by an unclean bed

Thanks for the brief and honest insights. I am considering to buy p1s Combo just for dust and breeze protection. It is not only way over my budget but also almost no spare parts are available in my country. To make things worse our government practically banned individual importation that we can not even buy aliexpress junk anymore so I am very hesitant. I have been researching manuals and forums and one thing that pissed me of about it (that you did not mention) is Wi-Fi only connection. My work room can not receive healthy signals and also internet connection hick ups time to time. I assume that will just ruin hours of print. Another one downside, for a broke hobbyist like me; is waste/actual print volume seems to high when multi color printing. Filaments are very expensive and hard to get here too.

[@NotAnotherPrintingChannel]

You can use lan only mode or eject the sd card and put the file on that wifi is not required but if spare parts are an issue and filament is to id look for a more local company

[@dyinerddad6296]

@@NotAnotherPrintingChannel I am aware of SD Lan only mode and SD Card, but which year we are in? 2010? That is the problem, BL forces users who can not or do not want to use Wi Fi and their cloud to settle with decades old tech. Even the cheapest printers are coming with usb + RJ45 connections. We do not have any local manufacturers. As creality has been the most popular brand for many have importing spares for it but that is all. :=(

Enjoyed your video . New to the 3 D printers , I am a Laser guy. Trying to figure if I need the PS1 Or the X1 . Will be making earrings and small figures and do like the Dragons and eggs. Which would you recommend . The PS1 looks especially V the cost of the X1. I do Farmers Markets for my sells. Also how do you vent you printers because I wanted to put in my office . Lastly what material would you recommend for earrings , I was told PLA won’t hold up over time . Thanks

[@NotAnotherPrintingChannel]

Honestly PLA is pretty much fine for jewelry. As long as its not left in direct heat. I recommend the P1S just because the price. It has built in vents and fans that also store carbon filter to filter the air. If you want to do mini and small prints the a1 mini is far superior just because the nozzle swapping capabilities are much easier to follow and quicker with less likely to damage components.

[@Simon-sf7ng]

You should run a tube from the printer to a bin under the table for the waste material.

[@NotAnotherPrintingChannel]

Thats the plan for my next build

[@califpv]

With the A1, it's hard for me to decide if the extra bread is really worth it for the P-Series... 🤷🏻

[@theglowcloud2215]

P1S is about $100 more than the A1 and it's worth it, imo. Enclosure helps a lot for ASA and PC, and the P and X series AMS is way tidier than the A series AMS.

It would be ace to be able to print TPU and was thinking even possibly printing an outer layer onto PLA to have a “rubberized” finished on a protective hard case design for an electronic device. For someone who has never 3D printed before, there are so many unknowns as to what is possible and what is required for certain design elements, y’know? Best of luck with the move!

[@TheRossWilliams]

I am curious what you comparing to when you say this P1S and AMS are noisey? I had a CR10s for years, so much louder if I was printing at say 80mm/sec

[@NotAnotherPrintingChannel]

I was comparing to ender 3 pro, s1 pro, p1p ender 5 and cr10. Its truly only noise during startup and when doing multi color. The ams makes a lot of noise.

What's your take on Qidi Plus4 and QIDI MAX3? Still looking for my 1st 3d printer that can do ABS/ASA with ease. I'd definately get P1S, but the build volume is too small.

If you care about multimaterial printing, the Prusa XL is the only game in town for shorter print times and less waste. But the 5 toolhead XL is like $4000 and the enclosure is $650, so you have to *really* love multimaterial to justify that insane cost.

I have heard that the X1C is a bit more finicky when it comes of using aftermarket build plates. It throws up an error message when they don't have the right code engraved on them. I also have heard complaints that the printer is very needy in other ways because of all the extra sensors built in. Old school 3D printer users get irritated when the printer seems to be too smart for it's own good. I've worked with other kinds of machines like that and it was infuriating at times to have to humor the machine just to get it to work.
