Bambu Lab P1S vs X1C Differences - Which is Better Choice? 

even with max bed temp of 100?

@@jamierichards925 yes of course , and you can also dry your filament like the X1C except you need to add a timer on your phone or anything else

@@skynlab2478 oh OK I thought some needed temps of like 110 etc to print but that's good to know

@@jamierichards925 there is lot of marketing specs on the x1c but the p1s can easily fight against the x1c

Is it judicious to get only the hardened steel nozzle or the complet hotend and which size do you advice getting beside the 0,4 mm:0,6 or 0,8 mm ? Thanks in advance

Thanks for your review! Im deciding between p1s o x1carbon for my print farm. I was considering going for p1s to get more machines but it seems like x1c is the one for printing farms

@@solosequenosenada7096 Hmm, if you are going the farm route I would ask what your are printing. If you are doing pla/petg/tpu p1s or even A1 can be fine. If you are going with ABS/PC/nylon or any exotic materials then p1s or X1C. The p1s will need to be upgraded with hardened extruder and nozzle to prolong some parts. Also if you are printing abrasives on a regular basis stock up on ptfe tubes and the AMS will get torn up with abrasives. In a farm environment the screen, auto calibrations and such may not matter that much if you use the same filament and settings. So you may need to tune a few times and be set going forward if you limit print variables. So if you want flagship go X1C(1200 or 1450) and want to not compromise on anything. if you are looking for farms and need an enclosure x1c or p1s(600 or 950) if you are printing basic materials go p1p (500) or A1(339 or 389) I always look at farms in this fashion what is the most cost effective way to get out parts without compromises. faster camera, lidar, better screen etc, the 500-600 price gap is another machine which is a hit to productivity. The P1S can print just as well as an X1C. it's the QOL features that make it better but if you are churning out parts an individual machine features may not be better than getting 2 machines for the price. external Smart cameras exist for monitoring panda touch can manage 10 bambu machines with a similar touch screen as the X1C. The biggest issue is printer firmware may stop it from working. so YMMV. You also have the option of a smart phone/ tablet It's the lidar and auto calibrations that are left which you can tune manually and setup profiles in bambu studio or orca slicer.

@@personwomanmancameratelevision Thank you very much for taking the time to give me this information! Going to go for the X1C for personal use, prototyping and will start adding P1S and A1s to the farm

I've been running a P1S for a year. It's been virtually trouble free with occasional issues with the more exotic filaments and some minor disappointment with AMS. I had some bed adhesion problems early on with Bambu labs own carbon fiber filaments but that was easily resolved by using a smooth plate with glue stick. My biggest issue with AMS is all the purge cycling as it can triple the print time and wastes a lot of filament. I'm also experiencing a new problem with their specialized support filament for use with their carbon fiber filaments. It worked fine for several prints when I first got it but I hadn't used it for 6 months and now it won't print without stringing and contaminating my part. I tried drying it but it didn't help at all. I'm starting to wonder if the filament just goes bad. I was considering going to a Prusa XL with dual print heads but that's $2500 and Prusa charges almost $200 for shipping to the states. I'm kinda tempted to just move to the X1C for it's supposed better performance with the niche filaments.

Just order one and replace it in minutes

I believe it just doenst come with one. You can upgrade it.

The perennial question

Good choice!

X1E been discontinued by bambu lab store.

@@Andy-js5jy it's never been there

Yeah thats the point, X1C is just nice to have when you have extra money to spend

You can use the Bambu handy app on your phone, The screen on the printer (P1S) can be laggy.

@@Denniss7420 i can't pair the H/app with my P1S it prints great with BL Studios but not H/app it shows pair number on both phone and screen but nothing happens
