Steer clear of the K1 printers, I hear a lot of horror stories about them. Bambu may be coming out with something larger after the first of the year, how soon do you need it?
Thanks, Jason! We were pondering ordering something today. The K1 Max has mostly good reviews on Amazon. From my son's perspective, the open-source model of Creality may be a benefit over Bambu. He's a tinkerer.
I was looking at the reviews of the K1 Max and if you drill down into them, it has some stinkers. You definitely would need to tinker with a Creality printer, they are known for that. One big question is, does he want to print with multi materials? If so the Bambu or a Prusa with MMU is the only thing he can look at essentially. I use it more for loading up multiple rolls of the same filament and it will auto switch over after running out of the first one. No having to come and reload it or have it sit idle waiting for you. You can also look at the P1S if he wants to save a few bucks with the Bambu. Just put a hardened steel nozzle and gear on it and you have 90% of what the X1C does.
Auto switching to the same filament with an AMS when one runs out is a benefit of the Bambu printer we’d not discussed. Being able to keep using the same software he’s already learned would be a benefit of the Creality. Thanks again!
You can use Orca slicer with both the Bambu and the Creality if your looking for something more open. Another thing to consider.
Bambu on order. Thanks, Jason!
No problem, which one did you end up with?
Followed in your footsteps: X1 Carbon
Get the AMS combo? It really is worth it if you haven't ordered it. Sooooo convenient for long prints or partial rolls.
Kevin says buy the AMS!
