The need for a way to select printer identity (P1P or P1S) should be provided to all P1x owners for the sake of accommodating both those who have upgraded their P1Ps piecemeal and those who chose to get the kit.
Going further, it would be prudent to eliminate the existing parallel profile structures that exist, one for the P1P only, and the other for the X1C / P1S only. While having separate profile sets made sense when only the P1P and X1C existed, the P1S blurred the distinction between the two, with the P1S adopting the X1C profile set. Since the P1S is just a P1P with an enclosure and a handful of non-critical components, and since the P1S works just fine using the X1C profile set, I question the need to maintain a separate profile set for the P1P only. Consolidating the two profile sets into one single set would simplify both software development and customer profile maintenance. A true win-win for everyone involved.
Let’s face it: maintaining two sets of profiles is a pain in the rear. Not only do I have to maintain process and filament profiles for numerous configurations, but I also have to maintain an identical set of those profiles for the P1P, since the P1P can’t see X1C profiles, and the X1C/P1S can’t see the P1P profiles. Every modification must be made twice. It’s a pain. There’s no point anymore.
Any additional input? Have I missed something?
