  • This....I invested in an Ecotank ET-15000 and it's been amazing. Much cheaper models available, but the upfront cost is worth the hit if you do a lot of printing. The family hasn't even managed to put a dent in the original tank supply. A full load is rated at something like 9000 pages.

  • Should I just wait another year or two?
  • Decide what you want from a machine, and if all of your needs are met...buy. It's getting much harder to recommend the Prusa as the baseline for quality has changed substantially. With many machines adopting input shaping and higher-end parts, you get a lot of bang for your buck.

    I don't own one, simply because I build most of my machines from scratch...but it would be hard to recommend anything other than a P1P for someone with the money in their budget for it. If I were building a new printer factory of 50 machines running 24/7 then MAYBE I would consider the serviceability of a Prusa to be a time investment. Outside of those conditions, Bambu is the clear choice in the price bracket.

    FYI At that new $599 price, even the P1P can print from sdcard, so from a "cloud" perspective, I don't think that's an issue. The cloud connection is for sending files remotely, and I also believe it has a local network mode(unsure). $599 P1P vs minimum $799 for a MK4 kit, I would go P1P in a heartbeat. I understand that the AMS is also significantly easier to use than the Prusa MMU. The P1S is an attractive replacement for my HEAVILY Frankensteined old Flashforge Creator Pro, which I only used for parts requiring high-temp enclosed printing. I will add one to my environment at some point in the future, as it's the only thing to come along in years that looks worthy.
