I got a P1S as a Christmas present for me and my wife. For now, my plan is to block its internet connection and stop using the Bambu app altogether. When/if it his stops working for me, what does the community recommend as a replacement for newbies like me, or future newbs who haven’t made this mistake?
I have a Qidi X-Plus 4. There are a lot of reviews online raving about its reliability, how it’s the first production-ready printer that’s also affordable for hobbyists. It’s also got Klipper firmware, which is open, so it can’t be locked down the way the Bambu ones are.
My old printer is a 10 year old prusa clone kit, which I wrestled with the whole time I had it. Compared to that, the Qidi is a dream.
If you’re on 110v power, make sure you get the fixed relay board. The original one can’t handle the higher amperage of the lower voltage power.
The way you set up this sentence, I was expecting a huge BUT at the end
Seconding Qidi, I’ve been very happy with my q1 pro. They also have chamber heaters which makes it much easier to print large ABS or nylon prints.
