I’m thinking of getting the Bambu Labs P1S, anything that I should be aware of? Anybody got one? Thoughts?
I don’t have one, but I have heard a lot and watched reviews.
Great printer, fast printing, good quality, enclosed, already has filtration on the output, and most people seem to have almost no problems with them, a lot like a prusa.
However, it is pretty loud, wastes a lot of filament when switching filaments, and has proprietary replacement parts to lock you into buying from them.
Probably the best prebuilt consumer coreXY from what I hear, just don’t put it in a room where you sleep.
I’ve got a P1P that has been upgraded to a P1S. Leave the door open or the lid off when printing PLA (especially if using an AMS).
Heat creep related jams are a pain to fix.
Can you elaborate on this please?
If the printer is fully enclosed (door and lid closed) and the print is long enough. The heat from the hotend and bed can build up in the chamber, causing heat creep. The chamber temperature is not monitored. Since the nozzle and heatbreak are one piece, removing the clog is a bit more involved.
I’ve had to do it 3 times since I bought the printer on release. All were 12+ hour PLA prints and done after high temperature filament prints (nylon and abs).
The issue is entirely preventable, just me forgetting to open the door on long prints lol.
