Is the bambu P1P really all it's cracked up to be?
Is the bambu P1P really all it's cracked up to be?
I have an ender 3 v2, upgraded the springs/leveling knobs, and slapped on an auto leveler. I do really enjoy the printer, but I've found between work and raising a toddler I just don't have the time to tinker like I thought I would. I assumed I would need to do general maintenance, but mostly be able to just print things fairly regularly. Seems I mostly just re-level this printer and barely get to actually print things.
What I'm wondering is if the P1P is as "tinker free" as it is marketed. I don't mind maintenance, cleaning and all that, but do want to be able to have an idea and just kick off a print job.
Thanks in advance, I could just be leveling it crappy all the time too. Wouldn't surprise me if I am just missing some critical information or something on how to level and keep it leveled.
You're viewing a single thread.
I have my 3V2 to the point of being "just print a thing"-ready but it's taken a lot of learning and tinkering, a lot more than you've done. I'm glad I did it but if I were in your shoes yeah I think I'd put that on the backburner until the kid's a little older and not quite the complete time-sponge.
Once they're older it might make a great educational and fun thing to do with your kid, too.
For sure, I vastly underestimated the amount of time I would need to put into it. I have some nephews that are coming of tinkering age so I do wanna keep it around and keep learning. Overall I think it's a rad hobby, so when I have time for hobbies it'll be good.
