First Prints With My New Bambu Labs P1S 3d Printer!

Highly! It's a bit expensive, but from what I've experienced and what more experienced people have said about it, it seems to be one of the best printers out there right now. I'm glad I chose it over the Creality printer I was looking at.

@@OakLaneCemetery I have a Creality ender 3 v2, it's been in the cupboard for two years now, useless, with only problems. I'm currently looking for something better.

When I did my research into them I was able to narrow it down pretty quick to the Creality K1 or a BambuLabs P1S. Both had all of the features I wanted and both were at the top end of the price range I was looking at. To settle it I started looking at Reddit posts for Creality and Bambulabs. I saw pretty quickly that the Creality subreddit was full of people asking for help with issues or to solve problems with their prints. Some were just there to show off the nifty things they had printed. Over on the BambuLabs subreddit I found things to be completely the opposite. Most of the people there were showing off their prints or printer setups and far fewer were having issues. Another thing I noted was how many people stated that it worked for them straight out of the box, which was also my experience. When I got my P1S I unboxed it, spent about 30 minutes setting it up, looking it over and reading the instructions. Did a quick RU-vid search to see someone thread up the filament to make sure I did it right and within another 30 minutes I had printed a perfect little green "boatie" as my first print. From there I moved on to downloading some small models and printing them and within a few days I had printed my fist large print, a skull bowl. Within a week I had printed a full skull. Within another week or so I had printed a fully articulated life sized spine and skull. For being a complete novice to 3d printing I kinda feel like the printer made it stupid easy for me to move so far so fast in my 3d printing endeavors. I have never had to tweak any major settings or tune in anything. If something fails, I clean the plate and try again. If it fails again I reorient it on the plate, add a brim and fiddle with the supports. I have yet to find something I can't get to print using this method. GREAT printers in my experience.
