I was browsing through reddit and stumbled upon a discount code for Bambu Labs A1 mini for 10% off. If only it were for the P1S ;(
Apply code at check out by clicking “Show order summary”
Edit: 10% off also applies to A1 Mini (no AMS)
$1139 from Amazon, it's worth it
Yeah ive been eyeing amazon for a while now. If only it was discounted like the A1 Mini i would’ve caved 🥲
How do these P1s compare with new Creality K1C? Sorry for the noob question.
I can't seem to see the price you mentioned on Amazon.
On Amazon I see $1399 (without AMS), and $1899 (with AMS).
On the official BL website however they have the P1S for $1069 (without AMS) and $1459 (with AMS)
Coupon on the Amazon page drops it $260. From 1399 to 1139.
P1S AMS goes from 1899 to 1549 with a $350 coupon.
Nothing close to the recent pricing error where it was $1039 for the P1S with AMS. A price many of us, despite knowing it's a pricing error, will now expect to be the price to beat. And honestly, is the price it should probably be.
@Yekul: I can’t bring myself to click purchase unless it drops to that price error price. Will hold out… a little longer..
$704.10 inccl post
works on the a1 mini without ams too $465 with shipping to melbourne
Unfortunate timing. Just purchased a neptune 4 pro on discount, would have preferred the a1m. That ams is amazing.
The AMS is nice but unless you actively plan on using multi filament printing to full effect, it becomes more of something that'll just collect dust.
It's pretty annoying to keep even one filament spool in good condition for a few months if you print sparsely like I do as well :/. I've got a powered drybox as well for the task.
At the moment my main printer is a Neptune 3 Pro and honestly it ticks all the boxes of a single filament printer and with klipper slapped on there, it works like an absolute beast. No regrets at all!
Even if you're not doing multi-colour prints the AMS is awesome for filament backup.
I go through a lot of black and if my current spool looks low, throw another one in there and never worry about running out.
thanks for your accurate advice…. unlike those generous folks that downvoted you
Sorry never replied to you earlier, just noticed the notification today! The most common thing I've seen on OzB is that it is full of people that buy unnecessary things and get really personally offended when someone points out a fair point of view on a product that is - yes - great to have if you have the extra money for it, but definitely not necessary for vast majority of people doing something as a hobby! And they get personally offended enough to downvote haha.
It's pretty sad and immature really, but it is what it is! Cheers for the nice message that boosted my confidence that my comment helped someone!
Thanks, appreciate the confidence boost that I haven't made a huge mistake. I'm mostly hoping to build monochrome things anyway but that AMS is so nifty.
Cheers for the reply, sorry I didn't realise people replied to me!
What did you end up doing? Did you end up picking up an AMS? It's definitely a nice to have, but not a must have!
I've been 3D printing since 2014, and currently on my 3rd 3D printer I've ever owned. An AMS would be really nice, but the cost increase, additional maintenance, and having to actually 3D print more often than I have time for is making me too apprehensive to get one!
Because of launching A1, there must be many A1 minis in their warehouse?
Great deal any ways, I paid nearly 900 with mega pack which turns out actually not that needed.
Just picked up the P1s from Amazon. It is truly amazing, it just works. No previous experience and I was printing within an hour. Highly recommended.
Wonder how these go for printing miniatures, or just keep to resin?
how small are we talking?
28/32mm scale, warhammer type miniatures. Maybe I'll scout for second hand resin.
ㄴStay with your resin printer. You will be disappointed with miniatures were printed by any FDMs. I started 3d printing with X1C and A1 mini and now I bought resin printers as I am printing miniatures.
I've printed a couple on my A1 (basically the same printer, just bigger build area).
I was pretty happy with them, although need to tweak the supports a bit. They are good enough for me for board games, but not sure how they'd come up painted. I can't feel the layers on them (one printed with 0.2 nozzle and one with 0.4 nozzle) but you can see the layers when taking a photo of them up close.
Looking to buy a P1S Combo (w/ AMS), anyone know any discount codes?
Same it's not storewide :(
10% off would've been nice for the P1S.
