I wanted to pick up a printer this year and the Bambu p1s was at the top of my list. I’ve been fiddling with 3d printers for a decade and I want something that is just going to work and not break the bank. Any suggestions on a comparable substitute?

I've heard a lot of people recommending the K1 as a similar substitute.

https://www.creality.com/products/creality-k1-3d-printer

I might check it out too, while I like my X1C...Bambu might be overstaying there welcome in my house.

General consensus that I’ve heard online is that the K1 is nowhere near the same league - cheap unreliable clone would be the most common description.

I think the K2 will be much closer

I own a K2. It's much better than the K1, and pretty close to Bambu in terms of quality (I own several Bambu machines)

I really like the two Elegoo neptune Max's I have (there are smaller models in the line also). I've also been eyeing the new Creality printers if you need an ams

Prusa recently released a CoreXY printer that should be comparable if not more robust and capable. It is also much more open: https://www.prusa3d.com/product/prusa-core-one/

What are you comparing to?

The X1 + AMS is pretty price comperable to the Core One + MMU, and is pretty feature-matched.

Ended up getting an open box Bambu p1s from Microcenter for $500 today.
