I just got my P1P after abandoning FDM for resin over a year ago. I am totally blown away by the improvements, ease of use and most of all SPEED!

[softfever]

As always, your review is truly objective. You have clearly done a lot of tests before this video. Which is rare among Youtube reviewers nowadays. Well done!

[davydatwood]

Broadly speaking, I agree with your conclusion: if you're in the part of the "3d printing community" that doesn't care about building and modding a printer and just wants a tool for making things, the Bambu machines are probably the best choice. The one advantage Prusa has over Bambu is a proven track record, though. If you're a very risk-adverse person, Prusa is probably a slightly more stable company. Not that I have any reason to doubt Bambu's stability, but we don't have long-term data. Likewise, we know the Mk3 in its many forms will run for years, and we just don't have that long-term experience with Bambu. (A subset of this, Prusa parts are available from a lot of different sources, meaning that even if Prusa suffers a catastrophe spare parts will be fairly findable for some time. Whereas Bambu is currently a single-source machine with minimal fallbacks if something happens to the company.)

Until I watched this, though, I hadn't thought about the Prusa as an "easy entry" for those who *are* interested in building and modding. That's actually a really good point - getting the Prusa kits will teach a new printor a lot about how to build and maintain a machine, while still offering a lot of strong customer support and high quality parts. If yo're brand new but eventually want to build a Voron or a RatRig, the Prusa machine is probably a really good place to start.

Also, you have no idea how happy you made me by remembering that "mk" is pronounced "mark." It drives me bonkers how many YouTubers say "emm-kay-three." We don't say "dee-are McCoy" or "Fleet ess-tee, " after all!

Hurra! Great video, really enjoyed it - thanks for the shoutout! Always a big plus to learn something on the technical side, didn't know there is such a difference between P1P and X1C regarding electronics. My X1C just arrived, can't wait to check it out since I already liked the P1P a lot.

Still using my MK3S+, though. I dont know why I sometimes chose it over the P1P, perhaps just because I'm so used to it. Time will tell if the Bambu printers work that good on the long run.

Happy holidays und genieß deinen Weihnachtsschnaps, cheers :D

Prusa will need to step things up a lot in order to compete. I feel like bambu is going to release a large format that will put the XL to shame as well. Would love to see a smaller bambu as well for more budget and stability

[damiengvideos]

As someone that has exclusively used 3 Prusa MK3S+ printers for several years to run a highly reviewed Etsy business I recently ordered my 2nd X1 carbon and will be replacing the Prusa printers. The X1 Carbon somehow prints at 2-4x the speed and even beats the Prusa on quality…I truly didn’t that the quality would be there but somehow it it! I LOVE Prusa they helped me build a great business but somehow Bamu Lab has mateched and even beat Prusas magic sauce.

[JPspinFPV]

3d printers were always destined to be plug and play appliances, and Bambu is the first to reach that mark. I LOVE to tinker! But I want my printer to be a tool I use in my tinkering, not my project. After getting my hands on my friends new X1 carbon it's a no brainier. My highly modded CR10 has seen the last of it's upgrades. Bambu will surely put out a machine with a larger print capacity and I'm here for it.

[slamoto]

The preorder bonus of the p1p is a low res cam, the fan and a light. Which is great. Ill add the fan an adjust the settings for sure. I will also print myself a enclosure. Cant wait.

[UncleJessy]

Fantastic video / deep dive

Also… those broll shots you are making are just 🤯

[satori_mountian_station]

I love that bambu are actually innovating!!!

[JessicaVandal]

Prusa overall I still feel will have Bambu Lab beat on track record and range of products for awhile now. They're continuing to expand into newer and newer spaces and are never too far behind with innovation. Excited to see the Prusa XL once it's out, it looks like a really REALLY exciting printer for the people that wanna go big or go home. Overall, solid review, appreciate the unbiasedness you have.

[ootoriazumi]

to really be more relevant, i think Prusa needs to make a corexy Prusa Cube that works with their toolchanger and multi filament system. especially since they are making their fork of the marlin input shaping algo and a corexy takes better advantage of that feature than an i3 bed slinger type.

the cube footprint helps it fit spaces without needing to worry about extra front or rear spacing. having the bed stationary, layer shifts from bed acceleration or a slipping magnetic bed arent really a concern anymore. everything just goes fast.

I just got my P1P setup and running after 2 years of extensive mods to my ender3 pro, best learning experience build, fix, rebuild, tune

[phimuskapsi]

I started with an Ender 3 Pro and struggled and loved it for 2 years. The P1P is the "next step" in my printing evolution, I'll probably even print parts for the Ender ON the P1P. I'm glad that I understand the devices at a fundamental level, from calibration to configuration and building.

Bambu is changing the 3d printing market!! 🔥

[JamesFryerCreative]

Tremendously useful video, thank you! I almost bought a Prusa a couple of weeks ago... so glad I waited to see more from all these new printers.

[Defyant]

The X1C is has transformed my little printing farm into a cash collecting win fall... The speed i can smash out clean looking prints is just next level. The P1P is just the next step to converting all my machines over eventually. But... @ nearer to 1k au and by the time you add an AMS ($500*) Then the extra's.... IMO if your looking the multicolour then the X1C still represents better overall value imo. The day Bambu Labs decided to release a 300 x 300 or even 400 x400 printer it's game over.

[djanny]

chillax :) Prusa is far from obsolete, if you are a prusa owner you know why ;) lets see how sturdy bambulabs p1p is after 1 year in the field :) good luck ! keep printing

[shenqiangshou]

Agree. My MK3s has been off ever since my X1C has been running. The only thing the Prusa has going for it right now is quietness. I use to be able to have the MK3s on my desk printing and still have a work meeting. With the X1C, even in silent mode, is too loud and annoying. However, with how sturdy the X1C is, if I need to do a print during work hours, I just pick it up and move it to a different room, then use it remotely, since sending files and monitoring the print are both super simple.
Like many others, I am also have a Prusa XL on preorder, although, after rounds of delays and no end in sight, I wonder if I will even bother following through now that I have the X1C. Especially since the X1C with the AMS does everything I wanted the XL to do, and faster.

[jaylawvlogs]

If you already have Prusa printers, they do produce good quality. ( with some upgrades ). I have 9 Mk3 s. Minis etc. after receiving the Bambu x1 carbons. They are my new go to printers. Now I do still use the prusa s. But usually just to mass produce something. if I need to print quickly it’s so much faster to do it on the Bambu printer. I had a deposit for a couple of the Prusa xl s. But honestly I don’t really see a need for it. I could buy 6 bambu p1p s. For the price of the XL from prusa. ( with the 5 tool heads. ).
