    Could you consider a prusa mk 4? It’s set and forget, not as fast as Bambu but no slouch. Support is excellent, open source and parts readily available.

      I really liked the enclosed case and everything that came with the p1s. I saw some flashforge units on Amazon but haven’t put much research into it. The ams looks great to be able to do multicolor prints that, afaik, other systems can’t touch.

      Not OP but recently I was in the market for a printer. I was looking at the Bambu P1S and Prusa MK4.

      I’m all for open source and really wanted to support Prusa but the MK4 costs an extra $100 (more if you don’t build it yourself), doesn’t have an enclosure, and the MK4 has a 7-8 week lead time while the P1S ships next day

      I’m not proud of it but I got the P1S

        Yeah but the Prusa is made in Europe and the Bambulabs is made in China.

        I’d happily spend an extra $100 to support a European country over china. Fuck china.

      Another vote for the Mk4. I’m very happy with mine, and I think that some people who lash out against it need to consider that not everybody wants a speed demon. Some people want good support and high uptime.
