I recently went to MicroCenter to pick up a new 3d Printer. I was super torn between the Bambu labs P1S and the Creality K1 Max. The Bambu sounded nice because I wanted reliability but the small build volume made me think I should be grabbing the K1 Max instead. Well I decided to go with the P1S and see if it was too small for helmets or If I was gonna be able print full size helmets on it. Hopefully this helps you figure out if this printer will work for you!

newbie here - I wouldn't have clicked your video if your channel name was Quest4Nostalgia... that doesn't tell me what you do. SaturdayMorningProps tells me exactly what I should expect and I'm totally down for it :D

I liked the Quest4Nostalgia, I thought it was good. I saw where the name was going, hindsight and all plus nostalgia, but SMP rings really well. That's basically why I got into 3d printing, for saturday morning props/ toys I didn't have as a kid.

I have an Ender 3, a Neptune 3 Plus and a P1S. I haven't used the Ender or Neptune in months because the quality of the P1S is far superior. Just need Bambu to make a bigger version

@justin1975 6 месяцев назад

When you cut the files into different parts, how do you hide the gaps after gluing/welding them together? Would the Bondo glazing putty be good for that?

@SaturdayMorningProps 6 месяцев назад

Yup depending on how big the seam, can use spot putty or real bondo

@ChefDansHookah 6 месяцев назад

I know it can, just that orientation is important as is sizing, and do one half at a time.

@mariospanayiotou6644 3 месяца назад

After you are done rotating simply press right click and select “center”. This brings your helmet in the middle of the build plate so you dont have to manually move left and right.

Great tip

@that_benji 6 месяцев назад

I was pretty torn between the K1Max and the P1S for the same reasons and I also ended up getting the P1S. Currently it's printing out pieces for my Halo Mk V[B] suit and this printer has been leagues better than my Anycubic I3 Mega and CR-6se and not to mention the AMS system has been great for swapping rolls as I run out.

@SaturdayMorningProps 6 месяцев назад

I almost got the ams for that reason to have no waste but I couldn't get myself to pay that for it

If your head is small enough, or you cut it into parts yes! I print helmet parts on it but most on my Neptune 4 Max or K1 Max

So depending on your headsize it may be possible to fit on the bambu, but would probably be best to split the top from the bottom

You should have gotten the Qidi Q1 Pro. Its better than the Bambu in almost everything. And its $200 less (I own a P1S btw)

@danielroth20 6 месяцев назад

would it be possible to share some of your support settings? thanks again!

@SaturdayMorningProps 6 месяцев назад

For the p1s I like to do snug supports and I often do manual painting, if it has hard to reach areas I do the hybrid tree supports

@nhahtrebor91 3 месяца назад

I had the exact same thought debate with myself, K1 Max or P1S. Ended up with the P1S with AMS on sale, was about the same as the K1 Max pricewise. While I do regret it not being big enough to print a Clone Trooper helmet I AM stoked about the quality and ease of use. Coming from a Neptune 3 Pro and always fixing something or changing settings every other print. With the Bambu I load the file into the slice (Orca) send the file and print from my PC. Never have to check and if I want to I can do it from the slicer or the app on my phone. If you have the money or can get it cheap I say go for it. Might go Neptune 3 Max or K1 Max later on if I get into hardcore cosplaying or selling armor.

@JackPage-l4k 2 месяца назад

I’ve had an ended 3 that I’ve been messing around with over the last year and a half after getting upgrades and I get so frustrated with always having to troubleshoot, sometimes it takes weeks to figure out what’s wrong. Would you say the ps1 is miles above in an ended 3 or do you still have to tinker around and troubleshoot? Cause honestly it’s taken the fun out of 3d printing after spending more time doing than actual printing. I would totally consider a ps1 if it eliminated all the troubleshooting that comes with an upgraded ended 3.

@@JackPage-l4k I won't lie and say that it's perfect. But boy does it take around 90% of the problems away. I hit print on my computer and it prints. I'd say 9 out of ten errors are on my side being either settings or just general human error. I'm glad for my Neptune 3p cause it taught me things to look out for but boy am I glad that I don't have to watch my printer every 5 min making sure nothing screws up.

Any chance you could share your support settings and print orientation on the bambu specifically. I've been trying to print ranger helmets from DO3d and Wicked on a p1p but the supports are crazy on them. Do you think the details on white ranger helmet needs supports from the inside? (the forehead patterns)

@SaturdayMorningProps 6 месяцев назад

I'll try and make a video on it 🤘 I prefer snug supports on the p1p and paint them on usually

Do3d and yosh seem to both use around a 8*2mm magnet, do3d at 100% often are too tight for those and I have to end up using my soldering iron to expand the hole, at 103% they still work fine with just super glue
