ile now, it’s clear to me that Prusa sat on its hands for too long. The P1S is fantastic, involves virtually no setup, and gives me out-of-the-box prints better than my MK3S ever gave me even after months of fine tuning. I can’t imagine a world where Bambu doesn’t significantly erode Prusa’s market share.
Came here to second this, I run a print farm of primarily MK3’s and MK4’s and have recently added a P1S due to my MMU’s all dying at the same time (not that they were worth much of a damn before then), the P1S “Just works” and beautifully I might add. I switched over all my multicolor prints to the P1S and have been impressed with better results than with those in the MK3+MMU2S environment. I’m also really starting to like the app and connectivity of the machine. Considering the price of the P1S with the AMS being <= than a MK4 Let alone with the MMU add on, I’d say go for it.
Prusa Slicer does have a “Purge to Infill” option that removes a lot of this waste. Unfortunately, Bambu printers are infamous for their poop problems…
