    It has been this price since June, the sale price never went away, becoming standard price.

    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/849258

    Next real sale is probably Black Friday.

    They have also announced that the new printer is Q1 2025, and it's a new flagship above X1 so no risk of buying printer now and then a new model replacing it.

  • highon2str on 13/10/2024 - 13:29
    +4

    Very mixed feelings aobut the P1S combo. Bought a P1S w/ AMS the last deal and I must say that I've been experiencing a bit of buyers remorse. Fantastic printer, great quality prints at unbelievable speeds, however I've printed a grand total of 1 multicolour print this entire time. There is just so much waste/poop from having to purge at each layer height, and most of our prints are functional, so really, we're only really printing with one colour 99.9% of the time.

    • ZachBlasphemy on 13/10/2024 - 13:41
      +3

      I'm looking at buying a P1S with AMS if they're discounted during Black Friday sales. I'd just use it to save effort changing between filament types instead of multicolour. I would only do multicolour if I'm printing a bunch of the same object on the one bed to save on waste.

      • highon2str on 13/10/2024 - 13:57

        True, though if you don't mind being there to watch the print, it's straightforward enough to manually pause the print to swap filament, without the additional cost and clunkiness of an AMS. The one time I printed multicolour was exactly as you described, 10 of the same thing on the bed. However it's very rare that anyone would want mass produce a print; perhaps more for someone selling multiple prints?

        • ZachBlasphemy on 13/10/2024 - 14:19

          Oh I just meant that I'd be able to have different materials ready to go without manually swapping spools. I don't see the AMS as a multicolour add-on, it means Automatic Material System so I'd use it that way.

          You could always sell the AMS on it's own if you aren't finding benefit in it.

        • creesy on 13/10/2024 - 18:12

          Until there is 100+ changes across a 24 hour print

    • PurchaseAnxiety on 13/10/2024 - 14:06
      +1

      I have an A1 combo, and also mostly avoid multicolour prints with lots of filament changes. But the AMS is still amazing for just being able to have 4 colours/filament types ready to go at any given time. You could also look into flushing into infill and/or into an object, which will at least allow you put some of the waste to use.

    • Whodis on 13/10/2024 - 14:32
      +6

      Purge into infill or support or another model

    • Ezuku on 13/10/2024 - 14:35

      Eh. As a neptune owner I'm very envious of the ams. If anything that's the one thing you can't really replicate without a bambu printer unless you spend a fortune (in money or fiddling with an ercf). I'd buy it in a heart beat if it was available for anything else. Colour changes (even a once off layer base change) are incredibly annoying without it.

      • Moondog on 13/10/2024 - 19:30

        I ordered the Anycubic Kobra 3 Combo from Ali for something like $570 delivered if you're looking for a cheaper option. Still yet to ship - the reviews are basically that software is a bit underwhelming but the hardware is comparable.

      I still haven't done an actual multi-colour print yet, but I'm regularly using the P1S with AMS combo in order to do automatic filament runout swaps. It's worth it for that alone, I can set and forget, particularly for overnight prints.

      Plus the relatively airtight seal of the AMS is also fantastic for keeping filament drier than it otherwise would be in the open air.

      • impoze on 13/10/2024 - 16:59

      Funny thing is, I think it's completely worth it and I have printed a grand total of one item win multi colour. I just love having the ability to easily switch between filaments without even having to stand up…

    • NuclearWessels on 13/10/2024 - 21:07
      +1

      Don't discount using the AMS for supports either - if you're printing PETG use a PLA interface or vice versa - you can have zero support gap (i.e fully supported) and it just peels off when cool.

      I use this feature more than colour printing.

    • netpenthean on 21/10/2024 - 11:08

      it's great when it works, but the wastage is pretty annoying and I find there are quite a few issues with the AMS.

      considering that most printer issues are with filament feeding, it is a miracle that they can feed/retract so much filament as well as it does - but you do get issues…

      As someone who has and regularly uses both, I say, get both.

    • khoa2812 on 13/10/2024 - 16:35

      Someone I know got both X1C & A1 Mini, he ends up using the A1 Mini most of the time. Also if at one point you want to bring a 3D printer along with you (to your workplace or to a friend's house etc.) then the Mini is the better since it's very portable. Btw, the X-axis gantry on the Mini goes on a linear rail so I found it's quite robust despite its cantilever design.
      However, I myself had designed heaps of stuff that exceeds the A1 mini bed size so I decided to get the A1 instead, pretty happy with it so far.

            @bio: Got a printer smaller than a mini, fully enclosed with handles. Never taken one to anyone else's house, we have better things to do that wait multiple hours for a print to finish.

            Just print at home, take the printed object over. So much easier.

            The only reason to take a printer out is if you selling stuff in a market and want to use it to drum up sales.

        Wild owning an x1c and a mini and using the mini most of the time..

        I have both but the x1c is superior is every way (speed, print quality, size of the print, enclosure for ABS etc.)

    • deadpoet on 13/10/2024 - 17:58

      As others have said, you'll most likely print stuff that's smaller than 180mm the majority of the time; however, when you do need something bigger, that's when the bigger bed size is invaluable.

      Go for the A1 I reckon.

  • raydragon on 13/10/2024 - 15:29

    Got an A1 a few weeks ago and it's been excellent so far.
    Hard to argue at the current price and agree the AMS is excellent, you can basically run a roll right out and as long as you have another roll of the same type ( or tell the printer it is) it just swaps and carries on, no worrying about if you have enough filament left over.

    • rumblytangara on 17/10/2024 - 08:39

      Prusa is more expensive due to European wages and in-country manufacturing, a totally different and vastly more sophisticated approach to multi material handling, and shipping costs.

      K1 might be comparable, but Creality has a much less reliable pedigree. User reports are generally good.

    • Stevesie76 on 14/10/2024 - 08:38
      +2

      I would say it's probably the best intro if you can afford it. Already dialed in and proven to print well without messing about with tuning. Other brands tend to require more mods/tweaks/repairs due to the lower QC and the print profiles tend to be less dialed in. Only downside with Bambu is you are locked in to using their software, it's more of a closed ecosystem. No problem if you just want to print things though.

      • NigelTufnel on 14/10/2024 - 10:13

        Yeah, second this. If you're just wanting a plug and play printer, and don't want to learn about printers and/or tinker/mod at all, then A1 or A1 mini (if you mainly want to print small stuff) is the best entry to 3d printing.

        And I don't particularly like bambu either, but I see their advantage.

      • witheredcouch on 15/10/2024 - 16:40

        I've been turned off 3D printing due to just not having the time or interest in tweaking and setting up the printer. If little adjustments etc are required I am capable of doing so, i'd just prefer to set and forget. Would an A1 mini be suitable for that?

    • raydragon on 14/10/2024 - 14:49
      +2

      If you want your Hobby to be printing then these are a good choice.
      If you want your Hobby to be fooling with the printer to enable it to print at it's best then you might choose something else.

      That's not to say that you CAN'T tinker with these but that they have much less of a requirement to do so compared to some other options out there.

      The A1/ Mini is hard to match value wise, especially at this price and especially for a 3D Printing newbie (and I include myself in this group).

    I added extra filament cutters with my A1 order and shipping goes from $35 to $43 which unfortunately makes buying any spares uneconomical compared to getting identical ones from aliexpress at ~$10 delivered, hotends also looked good with their discount to $15 until I realise there was aftermarket screw on/off hotend/tip combos on ali with excellent reviews for cheaper and the hardened tips are like a dollar each :/

    Bit of a shame really but Im a cheap ass, ill probably just sharpen the OG cutter with a strop until its unuseable and replace the hotend down the line with a hardened aliexpress one with the screw off tips if/when the original stainless .4 wears out
