I have an A1 and two A1 minis. Would LOVE an H2D laser….. I print mostly garden and shed storage stuff occasionally novelty things.
Great timing, I often find myself wishing I got into 3D printing so I can modify stuff around the house, particularly my grow tent. Just now I’m tring to make a light baffle with empty yogurt containers that I cut the bottoms off of and aluminium tape. It sucks.
A1 babyyyyy, I sell em for my job, and the A1 and the mini, which I use for demonstrations, knocked my limited expectations out of the park. (I wprk with a flashforge 5m ad pro and a creality ender 3v3, one year printing)
very stellar printers, all though, the ender is the weakest, as it was a budget education project
Wanting advice. I’m looking to get into 3D printing (first timer) & I’ve been offered 4 x Ender 3 printers connected via a Sonic pad running Klipper (ex small print cluster) at a good price as I’m broke but needing to keep myself busy & hope to print some vertical grow towers & other sellable stuff.
Do you think as a “first timer” I could understand and manage using these older printers. I am technically minded & have kids (18+ year olds) & a smart wife that could also help me, but just unsure.
I also have an Elegoo Saturn sitting in the garage from my 20 year old that I’m about to try for the first time. Any advice is appreciated.
ill be honest, if its missing bed leveling and some of the newer harsware, I would avoid it, you will spend more time tinkering and less time printing.
questions for you to consider:
do you wanna multicolor print?
do they come with AMSstyle units for it?
do they have modern features, including auto-bed-leveling, to avoid major time sinking before and after each print?
do you mind if they dont have those?
do you have a device to manage the printers through of your own if the device provided fails somehow?
are you gonna print in heavier duty mats, and can those printers accomodate cia temps, speeds, n feeds?
if you have your own comp, you will wanna know how to use orcaslicer, its free opensource built on decades of code and opensource experience.
ill be honest, if you have no experience and limited income, go for an A1 combo pack and learn with that printer how to print, its only like 500… cant beat it, and old printers are a trap which IMO will turn you off from the hobby. new printers dont even need a comp! just an app! (but I recommend getting your own slicing on a pc going, so you can download and manage your own set of cad files to print)
I didn’t believe in astrology until I started 3d printing.
My big question about any printer before considering anything else: Can I run them in my remote northern BC shop where there is no available internet or cell service and even starlink is blocked by trees? As in – do they operate on a local LAN/wifi network and can you do firmware updates with a USB stick/SD card?
Regarding Bambu specifically: have they removed the ridiculous restriction on proprietary filament? Can I buy any filament off Amazon and print with it?
Bambu never had a filament restriction. As for running completely offline, it is possible.
Does the bigtree tech touchscreen still work with p1s?
Thanks @Hoocho for mentioning where I can buy/access your print files. I recently saw your video about printing the vertical grow towers & I think I’m about to buy my first (2nd hand) 3D printer/s to print a grow tower or two. Thank you for all the info you are putting out to us 👍👍
Be pointless a Noob teaching others, but Sometimes advanced forget to Noob it down.
1:05 “AMS”? “AMS Light”? “Combo AMS”? 2:48 “ASA”? 5:40 “Slicer”?
3:17 Can that stuff your left hand is on, not sit on a shelf above it?
Got myself a cheap Anycubic Kobra 2 plus and so far lightning fast print speeds with some great quality. For a larger capacity bed slinger it has been great so far. Still battling with the software and attempting to enable LAN mode though.
I started out with an Ender, always Eyes on your stuff youre printing haha
Now i have a p1s since about a year and im so knee deep in the craft … thanks for that haha also proudly patreoning
You can actually change the wipe area of the P1s also out of the way of prints, there are some modded gcodes out there
Also reprinting sometimes seems to loose AMS mapping for me, maybe because i use orcaslicer but it just takes the number 1 slot on the AMS for me so i stopped using reprint completely
My problem is to earn money. Can you teach us to earn money to buy these expensive printers? I’m on disability and my country consider us as a sub human.
I really do enjoy your sincere comparison of these two printers. Thank you for sharing , kindly, for a 3d printing farm for agricultural prints, would you reccomend getting a lot of A1 or more of P1S ?
P1S is my pick.
@@Hoochothank you
Thanks for the video Hoocho, I would love a 3D printer but it’s a whole new different world for me. Also next time can you dumb it down and subtitle the acronyms please.
I have a P1S and get 20°C over ambient without insulating the enclosure. To print ASA I would use some kind of insulation to get to about 60°C (+15 to 20°C)
Looking at getting into 3d printing, after how long do you have to replace hot end? How expensive is it?
This is a great comparison video of these two printers. I have both and have found another issue related to the moisture content in the filament. Since my printers are located in the basement, where I have several hydroponic devices running, the humidity in my print area can run up to 40%. Since the filaments are very moisture sensitive, leaving the filament on the spools of the A1 allows the filament to absorb moisture. Whereas the P1 AMS is enclosed. I have tried printing one of the A1 AMS Lite enclosures, but that made loading filament difficult. I understand that Bambu will be releasing an update to the A1 to allow the new AMS 2 Pro compatible. In the meantime, I have to remove my spools and keep them in air-tight containers or dry the filament before each use. Thanks for the tip on the heat bed. I have had issues with multiple prints, and I now know why.
Great content! Kudos..🎉🎉🎉🎉
I bought a P1S with the AMS. It is so good and so easy to use. I’ve only had it a few months and am new to 3d printing and design. It does such a good job and is almost unbelievable for the price.
Been using creality for a while from the v2 to now k1. Tempted to get the p1s especially it is more affordable now. the creality is fine for me in terms of quality and usability for the exception of the build volume which prevents me to print some designs from Hoocho. So grateful now that there are smaller designs for us who has the creality.
