How Happy are you? P1S X1C

super happy. got 2 X1C with now 1800h on them.
have them now running 24/7 for a big order i got for 6 days. 4 same filament in the AMS as I am printing 1 item 800 times.
the printer will only pause so i can clear the bed before the next print.
got twice filament stuck in the extruder on 1 of them only and since i got them only had a 0.4 nozzle issue (clogged and was unable to open it).
last week on one of them there was noise which i figured is from the Z belt. i kept it running and after 3 days it was gone. maybe need to replace the z belt soon just in case.

There is 1 thing i figured is that they do not like to print slow! yes they do not.

every time i slow down the first layer to 15 or 20 for printing details like text or geometry I got bad adhesion.

Hey everyone! I’ve just unpacked by P1S and printed my first Benchy. I must say I’m positively shocked with the print quality. The upgrade from my custom reprap is simply shocking. The reliability of how it lays down the filament is really satisfying. The speed is unbelievable. No more manual bed leveling. I already know I need to buy additional 0.2 nozzle and some new materials to play with. Thanks Bambu Labs!

just in case you’ve never done it before:

After receiving the machine and allowing it to acclimatise to room temperature, I would tighten/realighn the Belt tensioners:

I would also do this if there are large temperature fluctuations in the room, e.g. poorly heated room in the wind and hot in the summer:

Well, first step to win the lottery, buy a ticket :wink:

Currently I have constant offers from Reichelt for P1S combo on the screen through Google Ads, it looks like (may) a warehouse cleanup and that usually doesn’t happen for no reason and certainly not by such experienced traders. The prices look good, too good… so not sure is the right time to buy a ticket.

There are already 3 German-language videos about the Qidi Plus 4 doing its way… So I’m really excited, what it looks like after Christmas.

Buy a dehumidifier with a sensor so it comes on automatically once the humidity increases. Works well for me.

Got the P1S now :slight_smile:

But Theres Something Strange… The Filament Poop is No Poop…

X1C all the way. Got 3 X1C and decided to get a P1C based on those YouTube reviews everywhere… I regret it. Pay premium and have peace of mind.
When you are used to the lidar and spaghetti failure detection and live high res n speed camera…nah
It is so nice to wake up in the morning and find the print paused cause of spaghetti failure! P1S doesn’t have it and the camera really sucks, not to mention the useless control panel screen

I purchased 2 P1S combos for my classroom. They have been great. But, with the recent updates, I am now having some problems.
