I put Ender 3 on mine. You can also adjust the bed size later I believe
 
I always used cura for my ender 5 but recently switched to Orca when I bought my Sovol a few months ago. Deleted cura and just use Orca for all my slicing needs.



The organize my toolbox via gridfinity project is a huge time sink with printing grids and bins. I actually set up my E5 again to churn out bins even though it takes twice as long as my Sovol. Plus I have the baby Voron making small bins.

I found that file on the anycubic app on my phone. The app features the absolute worst search function on the internet. I'm not kidding, it sucks. I

just scrolled through a bunch of shit until I found one.

I got the file for the .380 speed loader on printables.

Both worked well.

Thingiverse gives anything a pretty good run for the "worst search engine ever" award

I think they are all designed off the Amazon search engine, which can't return a decent search to save someone's life...

I usually look for things on thangs.com
 
Alright, looks like I'm about 4 years behind the curve here, but that's par for the course. Want to get the 10 year old a 3d printer for christmas. He's interested in them, and I view it as a great opportunity to jump start his creative side. I just spend 3 days off and on reading this thread. Don't want to spend a ton on this, one color is probably fine. He needs something that he doesn't have to tinker with much, just something that prints and flat works. Mild autism, and the programming software will be enough for him to learn in the beginning. Thinking about snagging a black friday Bambu single color A1 with a couple spools of filament. Anything else he'll need to get rolling with a couple projects?

The downside to all of this, is now I really want a X1C. Wonder if I could make enough plastic stuff to sell to make it into a side biz of sorts. Been looking hard at CNC routers for a bit, but the entry price on a 3D printer is a lot more palatable...

Skip the X1C, go for the P1S. Does the same thing, works damn near flawlessly. Add the AMS later if you care to.

X2 on the P1S. Had mine almost a year and it's been pretty solid. I did have a small AMS issue I was able to fix on my own, without having to contact Bambu support.

Buy the P1S and don’t look back, it’s truly plug and play! You can add the AMS later.

How's the A1 for the kiddo?
Click to expand...
Both the A1 and A1 Mini get very positive reviews. That might be a good entry machine for the kiddo, but if you are thinking about jumping in too, I'd stay with the P1S and you can both use it.

The A1s are 'bed slingers', but if he's never used anything else that won't matter to him.

By the way, I bought a P1P last November, and just bought the AMS last week on sale. Once you get the hang of single color, you will probably want the AMS!
 
Also the AMS isn't strictly set to be used as multi color. You can use different materials for supports, including water soluble filaments. Also read of people just using it on long prints to feed multiple spools of the same material in case of running out it'll just switch to the next.
 
I would also recommend the p1s and an ams, although the ams can be bought later. It is large enough to print the vast majority of things in one go and will allow you to use any filiment you want. Can be upgraded later to x1c specs if desired.
 
so last night i downloaded orca and did my first print of a door stop wedge out of TPU, used the default setting in orca for ender3 v3 ke and it was flawless flat out just worked. then did a jeep flat snap model this am out of petg and again used the setting with in orca and awesome.

now if i can get it hooked up to my network so i dont have to do the usb printing it would damn near perfect
 
I’m pretty frustrated with the bed situation on my printer currently. The self adhesive magnet keeps unsticking from the glass bed. Apparently an aftermarket aluminum replacement bed is no longer available.

Between that and the speed advantages, I am thinking about one of the bamboo and enclosed printers. On my own research, I’m having a hard time justifying the extra cost of the X1C over the P1S. This thread will seem to agree. Is there any P1S owner that misses the features of the X1 regardless of cost?
 
x1c has

Better Screen - I’ve used the screen maybe 10 times in the year I’ve had mine. Everything is done via app or on pc.

Better Camera - p1s has camera that works perfectly acceptable, all you are trying to do is check on the print.

Lidar and spaghetti detector (also used for leveling) - only thing I can see as a possible plus.

Hotter bed - have yet to need it on the p1s.

Ships with hardened gears and nozzle - easy upgrade on p1s if needed.

Faster CPU/more resources - don’t see how this would affect anything.

Aluminum shell instead of plastic - again has no practical impact.

Ability to use X1+ open source firmware

All things being equal I think you get much more value for your dollar getting an ams or second ams instead of the x1c vs p1s.
 
I got the X1C. Decided I didn't want to deal with upgrades to the P1S. lso figured if its the best now, it wont be obsolete as fast. Looking at you my ender 3.
