I wanted to pick up a printer this year and the Bambu p1s was at the top of my list. I’ve been fiddling with 3d printers for a decade and I want something that is just going to work and not break the bank. Any suggestions on a comparable substitute?
- j_walter 2y agoI've heard a lot of people recommending the K1 as a similar substitute. https://www.creality.com/products/creality-k1-3d-printer https://www.creality.com/products/creality-k1-3d-printer I might check it out too, while I like my X1C...Bambu might be overstaying there welcome in my house.
- iancmceachern 2y agoAnd the K2 just came out...
- gjsman-1000 2y agoGeneral consensus that I’ve heard online is that the K1 is nowhere near the same league - cheap unreliable clone would be the most common description.
- iancmceachern 2y agoI think the K2 will be much closer
- bdcravens 2y agoI own a K2. It's much better than the K1, and pretty close to Bambu in terms of quality (I own several Bambu machines)
- iancmceachern 2y agoI really like the two Elegoo neptune Max's I have (there are smaller models in the line also). I've also been eyeing the new Creality printers if you need an ams
- kuboris 2y agoPrusa recently released a CoreXY printer that should be comparable if not more robust and capable. It is also much more open: https://www.prusa3d.com/product/prusa-core-one/ https://www.prusa3d.com/product/prusa-core-one/
- nickthegreek 2y agoTwice the price.
- ragingroosevelt 2y agoWhat are you comparing to? The X1 + AMS is pretty price comperable to the Core One + MMU, and is pretty feature-matched.
- nickthegreek 2y agoEnded up getting an open box Bambu p1s from Microcenter for $500 today.
