Seriously. When he started complaining that he had to change settings to use the same slicing file on two different machine types and said it was on Bambu Studios, I was done. Should have stopped earlier.
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
I don't have one myself because I'm cheap, but come on - if you're printing multicolor all the time, just stick one of those wrap-around poop chutes on it. It's
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.
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.
I’ve been thinking about getting 3d printer. Very informative video I love it , love you posted all the good and bad , definitely have more of an idea of what I want !!
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.
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.
Hi, i’ve got a P1S coming tomorrow and I’ve been scouring the net looking at videos, which have helped greatly regarding choice. They’ve also provided an insight into what to expect. This video and the one on belt tensioning are excellent. Having a good understanding of a machine usually results in using it in a more sympathetic approach and better results. So many thanks 😉
@@NotAnotherPrintingChannel bit premature for me, but if you do some, I’m sure they would be interesting and informative. In the meantime I’ve noted marked your channel, and if I need some help I’ll know when to come 🤗 cheers
@@NotAnotherPrintingChannel Awesome! Thank you 🙏🏼 you convinced me to get an A1 Mini. Would also love to know if you had any further recommended upgrades such as hot end nozzles and such. 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!
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
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.
Well, the A1 mini you have back there is great for $200. I have one and love it. Super quiet too. My Ceality K1 is so loud by comparison. I have no need for changing filament colors so the AMS downsides and cost aren't an issue. As I print purely for miniature gaming, I paint everything anyways.
@@NotAnotherPrintingChannel yeah, I keep on switching back between which one I want. It would be an easier decision if the p1s got a refresh with some of the a1 tech.
How do you secure the PTFE tube better? I can't have a glass riser because I print ASA which needs a heated chamber. I did notice it rubs on the glass like you mentioned.
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.
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.
About poop-chutes. Cant you just model a funnel and move the table from the wall a bit and make a huge box under the table? I think this is a cool problem to solve. 😮
The store could get a strike but thats really it. Everything is in an llc and theres no large amounts of money just sitting around. Pokemon company has bigger fish to fry. But soon ill move away from all those and go towards making parts for different machines.
Depends on a couple factors. You can put it on silent mode so it prints slower causing less noise. If you are doing multicolor theres really no way to make it more quiet. The ams is loud in general. I would keep it as far away as possible if you want to watch tv. The a1 series is a lot more quiet and I am currently watching tv while my mini prints away
Good rundown, thanks, but shouldn't you mention that if they're online these printers send everything you print back to the company as encrypted "log files", including gcode and pictures from all the cameras and slicer? This might be critical info for you or clients you're printing for!
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.
Great video dude. I run a bunch of vorons, I think due to the larger size and the maintenance issue I will stick with voron for now. I love voron as their infinetley upgradable and future proof. As soon as a nerw tech is out there you can incorporate it into the vorons. so you never actually have to buy a new printer. My older vorons i recently upgraded to have the siboor inductive probes, and their simply amazing. click print never had a single fail yet.
Well the design are weird. Placing a feature that requires systematic machine maintenance on the back of the machine, out of sight and not function to remind you.
Open frame printers don't look as good as these the only thing separating them from an open frame is glass or plexiglass take the glass off makes it an open frame and they look almost exactly the same just like a P1P and a P1S same machine one has glass one has zero glass
I just got the P1S combo and so far love it!
Just ordered my 3rd one i love em
This commentary and your pupils tell me everything I need to know.
hot damn

Those dont work as well as you think. I have tried it all. Still happens every once and a while but theres no perfect fix in my case.

Actually they added noice cancellation on the p1s/p1p with a software update. You just gotta re run the calibration and youre good to go
Thanks for your honest review 👍

I love the 2 minis i have
Would you recommend an a1 or a p1s for someone that is only planning to print pla and petg? I would be getting the ams as well for either machine.
I would honestly get a p1s because the upgrade options for future stuff is a big deal to me. I also prefer enclosed printers over open printers
@@NotAnotherPrintingChannel yeah, I keep on switching back between which one I want. It would be an easier decision if the p1s got a refresh with some of the a1 tech.
Love the a1 tech more for sure. But enclosures make the largest deal to me. I have significantly more failed prints on my a1s then my p1s
How do you secure the PTFE tube better? I can't have a glass riser because I print ASA which needs a heated chamber. I did notice it rubs on the glass like you mentioned.
I used cloth cord ties and used about 3 to connect it to the chain
There’s also glass risers that hold in the heat i use them
@@NotAnotherPrintingChannel Thx
With the A1, it's hard for me to decide if the extra bread is really worth it for the P-Series... 🤷🏻
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.
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.
Yeah I agree. I like it enough to justify the waste but it would take a long time to make up the prusa CL cost
About poop-chutes. Cant you just model a funnel and move the table from the wall a bit and make a huge box under the table? I think this is a cool problem to solve. 😮
In the new house im thinking of using a conveyor system for all 5 printers
It's the printer you love to have but hate to rely on!
I’m thinking of getting the P1S but I keep hearing that I should just get A1. What do you think?
P1S the enclosure makes a massive difference
Totally agree on the enclosure advantage on the P1S! I have personal experience on this.
How do you not get sued for selling the likeness of the characters Copyright?
The store could get a strike but thats really it. Everything is in an llc and theres no large amounts of money just sitting around. Pokemon company has bigger fish to fry. But soon ill move away from all those and go towards making parts for different machines.
I was going to say. It's only a matter of time before they come after you. They'll start with a cease and decease letter.
how many hours printing did you have when the carbon rods failed?
They failed before the update came out that recorded time on the p1p but the rods failed mainly due to my dumb use and improper lubing.
I have other printers with many more hourse that have not ever failed
How loud is this printer. Can it be used inside apartment and still watch tv.
Depends on a couple factors. You can put it on silent mode so it prints slower causing less noise. If you are doing multicolor theres really no way to make it more quiet. The ams is loud in general. I would keep it as far away as possible if you want to watch tv. The a1 series is a lot more quiet and I am currently watching tv while my mini prints away
Thanks this is very helpful. I will stick with the A1.
is it hard to level the p1s?
No its all automatic and after 3 printers all with 1000 hours plus i can say i have never seen it fail apart from my own negligence
Good rundown, thanks, but shouldn't you mention that if they're online these printers send everything you print back to the company as encrypted "log files", including gcode and pictures from all the cameras and slicer? This might be critical info for you or clients you're printing for!
Many companies do this not just bambu and not just printing companies either.
I've had a Neptune 4 Pro before my A1 and trust me when I say this: The Neptune 4 pro is 10x as loud.
Thats what im saying. I swear if people call this thing loud they have never owned an older printer
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.

The lidar sensor is the main issue and the p1p and p1s do not have those issues
A1 does not have Lidar. It has active flow compensation that the P1P/S don't but that is a separate feature.
Great video dude. I run a bunch of vorons, I think due to the larger size and the maintenance issue I will stick with voron for now. I love voron as their infinetley upgradable and future proof.
