The first two prints with the same black filament had similar results. The bambu printed perfectly but you also used a different filament. If it’s a comparison, why not print with the same filament for each print?

I can't believe how far 3d printers have come in the last few years....I'm done with ripping machines apart, replacing and upgrading parts, tweaking for hours. Yay!

I like the short and sweet comparison. Also, printing something practical is a great idea. However, like other commenters, for the comparison to be fair, use the same filament in all 3. Maybe one with PLA & one with PETG.

Good comparison but kinda agree from a commenter about using same filament since not all filament is equal. I know you kept mostly default settings but I’m on the fence with that too. However don’t want the video to be about slicer comparison either. I know these videos are hard to create and remain unbiased. I appreciate your honest feedback.

Having owned a Bambu Lab P1S for a bit now all I can say is that it's made 3D printing way more enjoyable than any bed slinger I ever had. Although having to fight with those bed slingers all those years makes me appreciate the P1S so much more. My AMS is on the truck and on it's way. Yeay! BTW, I'm printing parts for a project as I type.

Why were two pieces printed in black and one in orange. Makes IT pretty much uncomparable in terms of surface Quality imho. I would Love to See a faceoff between qidi and Bamboo with prints in glossy black Pla/PETG and No soft lighting around.

I don't know why you would use a different filament for the p1s using a color that will barely show off any imperfections. A lot of other creators do this as well. They will compare the p1s or p1p to another brand/model and use a very unforgiving color like black or grey with the model that the bambu lab is going up against, and use a very bright neonish color when using the bambu labs. Gives off the impression of bias when that happens, even though you may not have intended it.

Dude, those baby ducks are awesome

Gotta use same color and filament if you compare anything.

Yeah I went with the P1S. Waited on the AMS for now, but then turned around and waiting on backorder for the A1 mini with the AMS lite because I was so impressed with the P1S

For me qidi tech x-plus 3 is the best i could print pc polycarbonate and pet-cf at 250mm/s with perfect quality with the heater chamber but the Bambu Lab couldn't

*I had to go with the QIDI Max-3 since my prints are over 12.5" / With the super hot heated chamber I was able to print ABS without any shrinkage, cracking or de-laming. I have ZERO regrets and the customer support at QIDI was FAST, LIVE! 10,000% better support than Bambu or K1 who seems to do their best to hide from their customers. As far as the rear spool feed I just put it on a ball bearing turn table I bought at the Lumber store for $15.00 / EASY!!!*

Finally, I wanted to ask you several questions, if you would like to answer them 1: Which one is more user-friendly 2: Which one has more repairs than others and has maintenance problems 3: Which is better in terms of construction quality (in terms of printed structure) 4: If you have the budget for one of these 3 devices, which one would you buy? Thank you for your support

I haven't decided between Creality and Bambulab yet. Based on my research so far, Bambulab produces cleaner prints, but it uses parts that are not easily replaceable, such as the carbon X-axis tubes. In my experience, carbon has a significantly shorter lifespan compared to Creality's steel rods (although steel is heavier, resulting in more inertia and less precise movements). So, if the machine loses precision due to this wear and tear component after a year and becomes worse than the Creality, I'd prefer to go directly with a Creality since I don't plan on changing printers every year (I do a lot of printing). On the other hand, I've come across many consumer reports about quality control issues from Creality factories (motherboards with the wrong firmware, uneven bed surfaces, etc.). However, I still lean towards getting a K1 because it's open-source, and I'm not particularly concerned about achieving a perfect surface finish. I have a CNC machine for fabricating parts once the design and testing phases are complete through 3D printing. In my opinion, it's better to have several issues that can be solved more or less easily than a potential unsolvable problem like play in the X-axis. Even if replacement carbon tubes with sufficient manufacturing quality can be found, I doubt that the connection of the carbon tubes is held together with a simple screw; they are probably glued with resin. I can't imagine using a saw to cut and then trying to realign the carbon axes correctly before gluing them.

bro... you cannot compare printers and use different filaments for them

Why did you use black for the first two funnels, and then orange? We cannot compare the print as easily on this end, as the light blurs the orange completely.

The Bambu AMS is the deal sealer for getting a P1S. I see comments about Prusa MMU which I know nothing about, but Prusa MK4 is too pricey on its own.

I am not sure how you can compare when you used Orange filament for the Bambu labs machine. I would like to see orange filament run in others or Bambu labs with black filament just so all things remain same for the tests. Great review, but I am interested to see with same exact filaments on all machines. Perhaps, run orange on two other machines and black on Bambu labs. I would also run all three at max speed of 500, keep speed same. This would be ultimate test. Very impressed with results from all companies.

Your channel is great! Always with practical views about 3d printing and honest opinions!

I've seen that Qidi users are seeing way better print quality by using orca slicer. Native klipper and a larger, actively heated, build area give the X-Plus3 the edge in my opinion.

why you not printed all examples by one color? i cant see anything in this yellow 3d model from bamboo lab

Why did you print in black for 2 machines and a light color for the other. The light color hides flaws. Strange

i think printing the part in BLACK will be a better comparission orange or bright color can make it look better vs black, this is as a bambu user btw...

I'm leaning toward the P1S with AMS kit. I have three other FDM printers, Ender 2 Pro, customized Ender 5 Pro and a FLSun SR with the Speeder pad. but the P1S for enclosed and for multi-color prints is so very tempting.

I just ordered the p1s yesterday and I can‘t wait for its arrival. 😂

X-plus3 is a big boy compared to the others would be good to list the build volume vs printer size as a ratio to see which is most space efficient.

As of the last week of December 2023, I managed to get a Creality K1 for $360. I was going to by the Bambu and I had it in my online store basket, but I just couldn't pass on that K1 deal, especially being on a tight budget. I figured, there is no way $360 is not a terrific deal, regardless how it compares to the Bambu or the Quidi.

Thanks to you I saved hours of choosing the perfect printer that suit my needs, I hit the sponsored link in the description happy to help the channel and add a creality K1 to my cart hit the checkout button, get the shit done of choosing a correct printer in the night, get the job done the american way , I am french and I litterraly love how honnest american do theyre job its efficient it is smart it is fast, and I copy that. Thx for making me NOT loosing my time

I'm interested in bamboo Lab P1S

I am pretty sure that's East Wenatchee, WA. Crazy small world

I wish a core xy was in my immediate future. Shifting to production work and finding I need models large and small for what I am making, sometimes in quick succession. So helmet class sizes are a must and Bambu's distinct lack of ringing at speed would be a godsend. That said glad I found your show when I did, your print races and makes competitions served a dual purpose of helping me get filament when I couldn't afford it, and it helped me keep my photography skills up to snuff. Also thanks to the races emphasis on speed, I fear lightning infill a lot less, and that has saved a lot of filiment now that I am transisioning to models for video productions.

I just ordered the p1s with ams, my first printer

Man, I love those vistas that you've shown at 1:12! It must be great to see those every day!

Without any info. on the specifics of materials, the comparison is inconclusive. There should be material settings(temps, nozzle,layer height and print speeds and actual type of plastic used). Color is not a big deal, but black brings out imperfections easily. I would take this with a grain of salt as it is with the available info.

Why was the Bambu The only one printed orange which makes it almost impossible to see any detail on the camera?

Ordering a P1S today.

I made a comment about a better price comparison with the P1S Combo and the big brothers of the other 2 without watching this. I think I'm already convincing myself to get a P1S Combo just because of the fun factor involved and, of course, quality. I thought I need a bigger volume for what I want to print but I don't think I will need the volume often. If ever (if my wife allows), I'll just get a cheaper large bedslinger as a 2nd machine for bigger prints. BTW, forgot you own a ranch. I may ask suggestions to print for my cousin who owns a farm with mini horses, donkeys and chickens.

Hello, I'm torn between Creality K1 Max and Bambu Lab P1P, which one is better? I don't want to deal with table setting, I just want a nice machine and I'm torn between these two devices.

I definitley would like to know about your filament rack with the lights. Even if it is just a short. I am very amazed at how cool that looks!

I dont get the filament argument. Bambu printers are going to work best with bambu filament, creality and qidi will work better with certain filaments. Im interested in the best that each can print (with out of the box settings), not which printer is more accurate if you feed non-ideal filament through it. Sounds like a bunch of people upset they dont have a bambu tbh.

I'm Prusa guy ...had few creality printers as well as anycubic Kobras and regret they were so bad I literally store them in basement for parts lol. Didn't try Bamboo yet since they had so many issues before with QC ...

Baby ducks so cute! Also studio B appearance! You did a good job comparing these printers.

I want to see more x plus 3 content but with some more exotic engineering grade materials. Stuff past nylon that normally never touches a consumer printer and actually needs the heated chamber.

Missed the fact that there’s a filament cutter on the QIdi so they’re likely to have a multi color system in the future also

From my side...bambu x1c all the way...i had a lot of printers...print quality from x1c...bro...nothing to compare. When ypu know how to tweak x1c even further, you sometimes cant see that item is printed, and that is a fact!!

I've had several creality printers and they have been nothing but trouble. If I was going to buy a bamboo Labs it would have to be the X1 Carbon. I just bought a Qidi X-Plus 3. It is the most amazing 3D printer out of the box I have ever used. I just could not justify the X1 Carbon on my budget. But if I had the cash I probably would have went that way. The Qidi tuning is SO spot-on from the factory. Even things like extruder steps. I let out one whole M of filament. It was within three hundreds of a gram of being correct. There is no question this printer is fast and accurate. The one warning I have (and I have experienced this with every printer we've ever purchased) is that it does not flow anywhere near what they say. It is an honest 20mm'3/s hot end.

You used a diifferent color filament for the bambu so we can't compare apples to apples there. You also only gave print times for the Qiddi. If it was faster than the bambu then I would go for the Qiddi because until they can print at speeds comparable to a microwave or Star Trek's Replicator, speed is as important as print quality. :D

What a great video! So informative. I currently am using an Elegoo "bedslinger" and I'm upgrading to the P1S soon. I've been intrigued by the printer since its release and I cannot wait to get my hands on one. I need more speed and all around better prints ❤

That was a great video and helped me decide between the 3, I was really truthful torn between the p1s and k1

So...what about the K1 at $379 with a coupon from Microcenter? How does that price impact your assessment/recommendation?

I have the x1c with ams needs a bigger volume QIDI maybe the go unless bambu make a bigger unit ?

bambu is the one i am looking for to buy to start my 3D printing office

I would like to see you use the same slicer with x plus 3 and the p1s

Your channel is really cool! Could you print the torture test toaster on each of these printers so we can check the result?

I really want to get a bambu labs p1s w/ ams system... just can't afford it right now.

Great video Loyal. I do agree all three printers are amazing. I have several Bambu Lab machines. I don't have the other two nothing against them. I got my Bambu machines when they first came out and may look at the other two later if I get more space for a few 3D printers.

I would love to have P1s but I heard it's too loud. I would sit next to it for the whole day living in a flat and I'm afraid it's not for me. Anu other recommendations? How's the others? Or any good recommendations around $500? Been using modified ender 3 pro for few years now

The main problem with the Bambu Labs is that they won't ship to Alaska. They aren't available on Amazon.

Would love to see a review on these.. for example, does the Qidi Tech X-Plus 3 still have your attention? Is the Bambu P1S (or X1C) better or worse than the Qidi? BTW, any thoughts on the HeyGears 3d Printers?

How about using the same filament and color across all printers. Thats a true comparison.

I'm sure they're all great but a qidi xmax is 330mm cubed, you get 30% more printer for 30% less money than the competitors.

Xidi and bamboo are the ones im interested in. I like that the creality is cheap but well it's cheap. I have only used creality and stratus products but I've yet to be impressed by them. Stratus obviously is out dated but atleast seemed well built. Like someone cared when putting it together. I fear with creality the same lack of care will still show its head regardless of what they say.

Great video! ❤ very thorough and informative.

Wich one makes the most noise? P1S or the X-Plus 3?

If you had used the same fiament for all the printers I would say great job but I feel you used the best filament for the bambo to hype up the bambu printers.

So Ready for my P1S !!! Also Great video like always man!

Which machine printed the funnel the fastest?

Great comparisons video of these super speedy printers. Would the quality improve on the K1 and Qidi prints if it was at same speed as the bambu printer ? Finding the best way to cool layers at these speeds will only improve in the future

I want to see a face off for multi material units! Great video!! I have. A buddy looking for a core xy and sent him a link to this video!

@LoyalMoses Hi! which is better to take K1 or QIDI ?

What if you slowed down to Qidi to match the speed of the P1S? Would the print be similar?

Those made my current 3d printer completely obsolete and outdated. I own a delta flsun SR and it is 3x slower than these new core xy ! I was going to upgrade to the flsun S1 but after seeing how loud the blower fan is, I think I might give the bambu lab a go. I want quality impression and exotic material printing, not just speed.

Next time should u use the same filament, because like this is not fair! Only same filament, same type, same color. Maybe the K1+camera+sensor+new replacement parts (like extruder and hotend) price = qidi x-plus3/ Bambu P1s basic price. So check them again like that. K1 with all extra parts against qidi and Bambu.

Hey great video. I have a quick question when you say you set the peremeters to 3. Where did you do that for Bambu labs? I have a print that requires it to be set to 5 but I am unable to find the option in Bambu

Why are you using different filament on Bambu printer? Maybe that's the reason of better quality print?

they are all good-great. I ordered the K1, due here tomorrow. Why? I am a CREALITY user, price, user interface, biggest company....

Guess I put my pennies in the right place. I ordered a Bambulab X1 Carbon today. can't wait for it to arrive.

Have you tested ASA on the Qidi X-plus 3 and Bambu P1S ? Very curious how well they perform making outside use items. Another test I would love is .2 (.02 nozzles) on small item like miniatures

Can someone please explain what is this madness of purchasing a full enclosure and printing with the doors open? I heard that all 3 printers have problem printing PLA unless the door is open. Is that true? Speed is nice but it would be nice to get filtered the microplastic since we are paying for the enclosure. I still cannot decide between K1 and P1S. The biggest deal breaker for the K1 is the bloatware they have for a slicer and GUI.

After owning in chronological order Voxelab Aquila 2, Anycubic Kobra, Flsun SR, Ender 2 Pro and now the P1S AMS Combo. Hands down I should of got the X1C from the get-go but I cancelled my pre-order but it worked out since the P1S AMS Combo is cheaper than the X1C by itself. I was ragging on about how it was going to change the game and was a moderator on the Kobra forums and people disagreed strongly due to price. Tinker free printing at a more approachable price. Never want to see a bedslinger again or Cura. Wished Bambu would look into delta printers (I have a soft spot for em' since when I bought the SR it was the fastest consumer printer at the time and I loved it to bits even though it wasn't near as good as these printers today)

Nice short informative video. Thanks.

I love my P1S

I am sorry, but it must just me being in the profession of 3d printing. Your Rolls' filament sitting out there all uncovered distract me. I just keep thinking they need sealed up to protect them from Moisture :O.

Which came first the #FunnelBucket or the funnel? Bonus duckies!!!❤

Thanks for the video. I do feel like you should compare them using the same fillament, color, and speed. If you were to slow down the other 2 to reach the 500 mms i feel like your print quality would be different. But again thanks for the video!

Why did the bamboo Lives get a different color filament?

🤣The contrast of different colours is not right. Comparison results from other videos clearly show that the K1 is not as good as the BAMBU and QIDI, which are very close in terms of printing results. Hope to see more tests.

Its really not apples to apples when you compare different color filaments. Of course its harder to see surface defects in a matte orange filament than a black one.

Would love to get a bambu p1s with ams but not in my budget

Bright orange vs black, yea no wonder you cant see any defects on the bambu

For a relevant test you should of run all 3 at the same speed

thank you for the video, the bambu lab is great but they never respond to any questions. I have actually emailed them several times with a question few weeks ago and still no response. I am just testing the CS response time and they have failed. I want to buy the Carbon so bad this lack of response is killing my motivation

Should have printed them all using the exact same roll of filament. Changing colours 2/3 the way in is a flawed way of doing it.

this its a kind of unfair test . The only way you can fairly test is to use the same filament from the same roll for all printers filaments arent created equal even from the same manufacturer. hence the reason the k1 and xplus3 llook the same. Also flaws are easier to see on dark plastics. Also everything ahould be printed on the same speed and temps. Qidi themselves say 400mm is optimum so if you want a perfect print... dont print at 600. Besides the settings on qidi machines are using using their own filament which is made for the qidi optimum settinga. Print them all with filament from the same roll, and print at 400.

What about P1S with AMS vs Prusa MK4 with MMU3S and Input shaping firmware? I hear the MMU3 changes a lot quicker for colour changes than the AMS

You should use the same material on all printers

what where the printing times between the bambu and the Qidi?

@loyalmoses Which mid range (£800 avg), core xy, enclosed printer do u recommend?

Why did you suddenly use orange for the Bambu, it makes the comparison useless!
