    I just wanted to say thanks so much for all of this, I got into 3d printing last year with an ender 5 plus that my cousin was going to throw out. I asked for it after watching your video on how to motorize an iron man helmet. (Which then helped me make my first helmet) since then this hobby has been my go to for dealing with the stress of high school and has been a great way for me to make friends in my small town especially with my best friend moving last semester, I sincerely hope your sister gets better and I wish you the best.

    I personally did start off with an ender 3, and it started the addiction. Leveling and tramming that thing was a breeze compared to its bigger siblings, and its a perfect starter in my opinion. And if it turns out it's not for you, you're not out much money. My biggest complaint was putting it together, had to look up videos of how to do it. But that's also probably a me being a moron thing too.

    I think every person Ive seen say they like to print slow does so because they've had bad experiences printing faster. Once you get a reliable fast printer wheter that be a kit ratrig, or Bambulab or anything inbetween the speed becomes amazingly useful in how fast prototyping becomes. Small parts you can finish in less than an hour and long parts move from multiple days to one day, all with no quality loss.

    I've been into resin printing for about 4 years now. My first FDM printer was the Bambulab A1. Unfortunately my unit was one of those recalled. I opted to wait for the new heat bed and fix it myself. While I was waiting, I purchased the X1 Carbon with the AMS. I love this machine! Overkill? By all means. But it will cover all my printing needs with alot of headroom. The bright side of waiting to fix my A1 myself, a $120 voucher. Which I just used to pick up the currently on sale A1 mini for $79! I think my FDM needs are well taken care of lol! New to your channel, loving the content. My thoughts and prayers to your Sis.

    As usual, great video Frank! At this moment P1P enclosure kit is $191 (25% off from $256) in US and it is still $91 cheaper to just buy P1S but if you couldn't afford extra $100, or you thought you won't need the enclosure, so you got the P1P (which happened to me) it's an option and imo a much better one than those cheap enclosures made out of fabric and transparent plastic, which take buttload of space because they are made to fit a variety of different printers.

    I think you skipped quite a lot of info. The processor on the X1 is a lot faster, the touch display adds a lot of extra features, the case is aluminium, it has glass panels, a higher bed temp, built-in LED, a 1080p vs 720p camera, that again, thanks to the processor makes live view a lot smoother (the cam and LED can be added to the P1 though), the nozzle is hardened as are the gears (which can also be added to the P1). The P1 also has some printing issues that people with an X1 don't get, for instance thanks to the X1's spaghetti detection. Not having to constantly monitor a print and having the ease of use thanks to the touch display can add a lot of value to the printer for those using it for a business. The lidar also helps with calibrating filament and not having to adjust too much. I likely missed some stuff. Anyway, it's definitely a premium price, but in my opinion overspending beats underspending, especially for those wanting to just print or run a business.

    Same, I’ve had a Neptune 4 Plus since launch, and I’ve had nothing but great experiences with it. With just a bit of tuning I’ve been able to print as fast as you reasonably can on a bed slinger.

    Completely agree with the Ender 3 being a great starter. I initially bought the Ender 3 and didn't get to use it until my 5plus was built. I had about 2-3 prints on the 3 and gave it to my son to use. He has been using it and it still gives great results bone stock for what he does. I moved on to a P1S combo, A1 Combo and 2 K1 Max machines for my main uses. I don't see myself getting rid of the Ender 5 plus, as it can still sit off to the side making character busts of a good size or a helmet while the faster machines take care of orders.

    I highly don't recommend the ender 3 for anyone who's just starting out. I absolutely regret buying my ender 3v2. I spend more time and filaments trying to fix/calibrate my ender 3 that I almost quit 3d printing. Maybe ender 3s are good for people that already know what their doing, or have all the time in the world. Maybe 60% of my prints are failures or unsatisfactory, plus it prints so so slow(just to end up with a clog). Somethig always go wrong, either theres a clogged nozzle, or 1st layer doesnt stick, or the filament snapped inside the hot end, or theres some heatcreep, or a partial clog, or it has under extrusion, or the bed isnt leveled anymore, or it clogged again, or it just deosnt feel like it wants to print today. Plus with all the upgrade/parts and nozzle replacements I bought, I might as well buy a brand new Bambu A1. What I highly, highly recommend for starters is Bambu a1 mini, which I have. If you could operate a colored inject printer, you could operate a bambu a1 mini. I actually enjoy printing again. I've printed more stuff in that past 1.5 months I owned my A1 mini, than 2 years with my ender 3v2.

    I have two P1S and a K1 max. If your are just doing normal 3d printing. Stl to slicer to printer it is an OK machine. But if you are using custom Gcode that can jam extruders stay away from the K1 max. They have the cheapest connectors in the hotend. The P1s has much better connectors. They spent like 10 cents per connector as the K1 uses a 1/4 cent connector. Make a big difference when taking them apart 5 to 10 times a day.

    can i recommend qidi x plus 3? i had a few bed slingers that just failed a bunch of ways. the qidi worked straight out of the box with no assembly needed, it has a heated chamber, and its fast. ok, so you need to manually set the z height, but it's built like a tractor, it runs klipper, and its a work horse. and was about 400 quid. :-)

    My first printer was the ender-3 V2 back in 2020 and I loved it. It wasn’t always easy but I would not have changed those experiences for the world as I learnt so much. Loved upgrading it and expanding my skills using it…plus the feeling when it created a successful print. Then came along the Bambu P1P….and boy it changed everything. Mate, you are so right . This is the best imho 3D printer period..not just because of its price . Yep, out of the box and away you go. The Bambu Handy app is amazing, especially with the built in Makerworld studio interface for just “click and print “ for thousands of choices of 3d models ( no slicing etc..) . Just chose and print from anywhere ( I did show off to friends whilst abroad in the USA with them and it successful printed …as we watched!) It’s now enclosed and extras added as I love it so much. The next add on will be the AMS ..money permitting 😀) My thoughts and prayers go to your sister, you and your family….i hope things get better soon. Thanks for all your content.

    Perfect review, for those who want to get into 3D printing. You sold me on the Creality K1 Max for my 1st 3D printer. So, I bought one. Sure, I could purchase a cheaper one. I did not want to do a lot of upgrades to cheaper printer in which it would cost me more in the long run. I love the Creality K1 Max. I made only one mod to it. Added manual bed leveling knobs to make it perfect. Everything else on it is perfect. No issues with it. I love your reviews. PS, I'm using the Orca Slice and I love this program.

    My biggest problem with the 3d printer community is it’s just full of people printing toys. Saying that the X-1 carbon is overkill for props means all the printers were rated based on how props can be made. I need this for engineering project where I can count on a hole being within a mm of where it is in the CAD so stuff can actually go together. Not sure why this isn’t the standard way of measuring the quality of printers…

    Because it’s good enough. The x1 IS overkill if you print props and collectibles. Simple as that. If YOU need it for engineering that’s good. The price reflects the quality put into it. Not everyone needs a Ferrari to get groceries so they get a Honda.

Also learn slicer settings and maybe print slower, but if your looking for supper accurate and low strength get resin printer (note resins pricey) an a1 printer should do what your looking for but even an old ender 3 should be able to do mm less maybe not so much any bambu printer should meet your needs if size isn't issue.

    I started out with an Ender 5 a while back. Modded the crap out of it. Got tired of having to tweak it. I am at the stage where I have money and I don't have time. I love my 5 tool XL - but it's definitely expensive and I wouldn't recommend it for most users. What I DO love about it is - it just works. I don't care about speed. I want my prints to come off the plater easy. I want adhesion to just work. I love the speedy mult-tool switch. I printed and built an enclosure for it combined with a six spool PrintDry system - yep a lot of money. My prints simply rarely fail and I have it running pretty much 20+ hours a day. The ease of use has allowed me to really expand what I print - PETG 90% of the time and TPU. Now I'm moving on carbon fiber and other exotics. I wouldn't trade it for anything else.

    I picked up the Neptune 4 Max and it needed immediate firmware updating but after updating it's been flawless. I printed more than 4 helldivers helmets. Another small issue is that theres no percent button to enter in if your wifi password has a % symbol in it. If I had to do it over again I'd probably go with the Neptune 4 Plus and retain the 100*C bed heating vs the 85*C bed of the Max. You can do helmets just fine on the Plus's size.

I'd like to have a printer that prints large pieces but I'm strapped on physical space at the moment. So the X1C was a perfect buy for me.
