P1S is the 3D printer with the enclosed build chamber, but we still have the maximum temperature 100 deg C. This is not enough for ABS and ASA plastics, they require 110 deg. C for the best adhesion. I know you will suggest to use glue, cryogrip plate or deregulator. But I think these are the crutches and will be better if Bambu Lab themselfs allow us to use full perfomance of the bed, there are also so much conqurents’ printers like Creality or Prusa which offer 120 deg C. And most of people already know this printer can maintain even up to 135 deg. C (thanks to deregulator).
Bambu Lab, please, stop useing this pointless marketing ploy and let us heat beds on our printers to 120 deg. C (for P1S and X1C). Please! If you afraid about warranty - make something like disclaimer that user doing it on his own risk and not allowed anymore to use official services. I don’t have them in my country anyway and I will need fix the printer with my hands and my money.
Note: I don’t know do the stuff read this forum or not, but I hope they do so. And also, we need some noise, guys =)

I’ve been printing ASA and ABS with zero issues since I got my P1S earlier this year. I printed an entire RC Landrover out of ABS and I didn’t have any warping or other issues.
I have ABS+ by eSun, I have found great temperature balance between nozzle and bed 245/100, but I have red articles and watched some videos - I have found out this is not enough in terms of mechanicals characteristics, I mean with such nozzle temperature the part will be with low toughness + I get ripples on the surface and I have decided to get rid of them. If I change nozzle temperature or increase the speeds (ripples disappear in my case on higher speeds) the part start unsticking. With ASA+ I still have no success prints. The problem is when I try to find optimal parameters between quality and perfomance - I can’t do it, because I have high risk the model will unstick. Why I don’t want to use glue? Because the glue was actual when on first printers like Anycubic I3 Mega we had only open printer (w/o enclosure), with smooth plate and low bed temperatures around 90-95 deg C. Now we have high speed enclosed machines with PEI plates and I can’t ideally print (like BL wrote on their official site) with ABS and ASA. If you have used Generic ABS profile and clicked “Print” - you’re very happy man, but here is some persons (like me) who wish to improve the print quality.
Hmm, I bought an role of Bambu ABS filament, and printed some stuff with it with the P1S. And used the default profile. it printed great… No warping whatsoever… so it works fine. no need for higher temp…
