Prusa really kicked the industry in the nuts with its quality for price back in the day but they have really not done much since. The mini is really good at that for its size but in the large format sector they really haven't done anything recently. I'm glad another company is now here doing the same thing. Without companies pushing the quality for price envelope so aggressively we would just keep seeing the same printers come out over and over like we have the last few years.

Many who've not used the P1P might think you're doing the 'corporate' thing in praising the printer cos you got it free + whatever other benefits from Bambu Labs. I've had my pre order P1P for a week & besides some acclimatization time, a clogged nozzle (hasnt been able to clear it yet so just swapped it out with spare) & misplaced pei sheet causing an error msg (ya I'm dumb & blind), the printer's been a revelation. Its 3-4x faster than my Mingda MagicianX with better print quality. It even does great with TPU tho I'm buying a 0.8mm hotend for that. So far, I love it. 3d printing is now fun for me. Good, accurate & most importantly, honest review. Thanks

I bought the X1 Carbon for my 14yr old son and he absolutely loves it. The speed, print quality, and calibration is mid blowing… This less bare bones unit reviewed by you today is cool and a great price but the value of the X1 Carbon and what it does is so worth it. If you have the money I’d still by the X1 Carbon over this. For the last year my son has been using an Ender 3 V2, even the mods he’s don’t to his Ender there is absolutely no comparison. My son loved his Ender and literally printed over 700 projects some for prototype, some for fun, and 90% to make money selling a product he makes for a local business. The X1 has taken his product to a whole new level! It so cool to see a boy dive so deep into a skill set so young…

Loving mine so far that I preordered. I do hate the control screen/unit. Somehow worse than the single click wheel screens on $100 Ender printers. Printing amazing so far!

Very nice and encompassing review of the P1P - there shouldn't be any question open! Btw. I had the same freeze like you described, but it didn't happen again (~200h of printing) after a firmware update. "Best price to performance printer?" - Yup, I think so...

Thanks for the Video. I bought one of the P1P's for Christmas. After printing with it for 4 days, I ordered 2 more. The speed even at the normal setting for what I print is about 2.2x faster and honestly better quality. This definitely will help with producing better faster quality products for my customers.

For me I use my printer to make end use parts for work so the X1 Carbon is a god send. I can print parts in 3 hours that look beautiful vs 12 hours with a high warping rate on my old ender 3 v2. I love being able to save my prints and just being able to load some asa and pressing a button to have a replacement part. I've seen a lot of people in the 3d print community be pissed about how easy the X1 carbon is to operate and how it ruins the fun. For me, being able to have a part back in 3 hours vs having to stop work to mess with a printer for 3 days is well worth it

For anyone coming back to this, should add that Bambu Labs not only now offers the camera and light for free, they've now decided that they will ship PRE-INSTALLED at no extra cost.

Great review and buyers note that P1P now comes with that camera and led unit installed, and early birds can claim them too according to their website. Was thinking about Sovol but now, not so sure...

I love mine, p1 brought back the excitement of my first printer, i just keep staring it and smiling. this phenomenon is shaking others 3d companies and the result will be better and new technologies for us

I was just on reddit looking through some 3d print problems and was like 'i wonder how good the p1p has been doing for people' came to youtube, and this was the first video on my suggested videos lmao

It’s really tempting but the closed hardware is a no-go for me. One of the refreshing things about the 3D printing space is that users have so much flexibility. Slicers, nozzles, hotends, extruders.. it also keeps machines refreshed and updated.

My father has an x1 carbon, very cool machine. I'm definitely getting the P1P 🙂

I customized and painted my x1 carbons shell. Added foam and sealed off the inside pockets between the shell and hot plate

Yes, best value, especially for production. I can produce 3x more parts per day than on my other printers. As a result I sold my 20 creality printers and replaced them with Bambu X1 and P1P. If all goes a planned and I can move to a larger space I'll order 20 more in 2023.

After seeing this machine perform so well for such a good price, I don’t want to hear any more excuses from creality in 2023

i'm super tempted to pick up a Carbon. that multi-color would really boost sales of customization stuff i do.

I received my X1 Carbon a couple of days before Christmas and the P1P a few days later. Am still running tests on the X1, and the P1P is still in the box, am excited to see how they stack up to each other.

I have an X1CC and still bought the P1P. I mainly print PLA so I didn’t see the point of spending more money. I’m blown away with how similar in speed and quality the P1P has to the X1C. The screen may be harder to use but I don’t mind it because it gets the job done. Great review!

Great review Daniel! I am very happy with the X1 Carbon so far, I was one of the original backers that almost did not jump in do to a bad KS experience but glad I did!

Thanks for your review. Sounds like a decent printer.

If I had the cash I would buy this in a heart beat

I am quite happy with my X1C (after getting a replacement X motor) and I dont have any other printers with an enclosure so I would stick with it over the P1P. If i got a second one i would definitely consider the P1P though

honestly so happy the 3D printing community got such a new amazing company like Bambu Labs. This hobby has really been lacking innovation for years now, Prusa Labs basically became Intel as in they knew they were the top dog in terms of high end consumer printers (not talking about the 10k+ printers for businesses/schools) and because of that they didnt innovate much at all recently. Bambu Labs P1P and the other one are like luxery cars when compared to Prusa's now lol. It's honestly crazy Prusa is still charge nearly 800-1000 dollars for the i3 Mk3s+ when you can get a P1P for 700 dollars and it's 10x better. Hopefully we get more innovation from other companies in the future, this was a huge wake up call for this hobby. I also hope the Anker printer also has a success story as well as Bambu Labs has had.

Please continue with the good work. Wish all a Happy New Year.

Great review as always! Thanks for always being straight up with the positives and negatives you run into.

As said in the end of the video, my hope with the introduction of these machines is that the industry is forced to up their game. Not that it appears the Bambu labs printers are bad but if they continue the way they are going and everyone else stays where they are at I’m not sure all of the other companies will survive. The Bambu labs printers are a statement, it’s a new company with arguably better hardware then the rest at a fairly affordable price. The legacy manufacturers should be able to meet and exceed what Bambu labs have done, and I suspect there is more on the horizon from Bambu labs. I see lots of people saying just buy so and so printer and do these things to it and it will be better, or just build a voron, and to be fair some people want to and like to do that, but many people just want to buy a printer and make some stuff and not wait a week for it to print or have to constantly upgrade and modify a machine. While I still have reservations about how these new machines will hold up and perform long term those reservations are dwindling quickly. Enough so that we have made plans to make a Bambu labs purchase after the first quarter only because during the first quarter we are making upgrades and redesigns of the work space.

I just received my XC1 Carbon. I like this for the open design since I print a lot of PLA. Some of the mod panels are so cool, I kinda wish I had bought this.

I am planning on upgrading to this machine at some point

I’m so stupid but I’m 100% buying this lmao. Miss having a 3D printer so much

Bambulab is fking all its competitors. The only downside is that it uses proprietary hardware, but I am confident that it won't be long before someone figures out how to modify the firmware or create a complete replacement for using it with standard BTT SKR and Voron Hotends. Great Review

I'm loving my P1P so far, this thing screams, I made all of my xmas gifts for my nephews, what would've take weeks on my my ender 3V2 and neptunes took less that a week on the P1P, I did get the same issue as you where the printer just stopped, but I haven't seen it again since then, I also haven't updated any firmware since then either though. I'm not a huge fan of the camera, the resolution is fine, but I would've like a higher frame rate, even if only 15-20 fps, would've been better than the .5 fps it does now.

Compared with x1, there is a problem with this machine. Its lifting platform screw has no bearing, and a copper sleeve is used instead. I wonder whether the printing accuracy will decrease after a long time of use😀

Ordered the X1C on Monday. Almost still considering this one though.

as a X1C owner i am verry happy with that machine , but the P1P is not worth it for me , if it would be 450$ then i would insant buy it, but at 700$ i preffer the X1 instead also i print mechanical filaments like Nylon and ABS a lot, so first printing my own enclosure, dealing with the "non" touch screen with less ram and more startup time then the bambu .. got a lot of things that prevents me from paying the premium price but it is indeed a good machine if you are not already spoiled by the X1C xD

A good summary which fits into the hype around the P1P! But one thing is missing in the video! *A comparison to a similar printer and the lack of different aspects of this hobby when buying a P1P!* So it would have been really nice if you could compare this P1P to the experience (!) of building your Voron 0.1 LDO Kit or the Voron Switchwire! Here in Germany I need to invest like 800 bucks for that P1P because of VAT, so even a 900 bucks Switchwire Kit is in that price range! I think you missed that part, because you already have built some Vorons and got the joy and the experience from it. But think about newbies entering this hobby! Wouldn't it be great to get a similar experience from investing a bit under 1K? So a comparison from that perspective is kinda missing, which would lead to a show off between Voron 0.1, Voron Switchwire and the P1P if you don't want to include the Prusa Mk3 Kit. It's self building vs. "only a tool", modifying vs. stock, building first vs. printing half an hour after unboxing, RepRep idea vs. OEM, speed vs. more speed and also quality vs. quality! Also the missing features in their slicer or the availability profile from minute 1 could be worth some words. And there is another thing I look into from a beginners perspective: *increasing level of difficulty.* When I would buy an Ender 3 Pro and begin printing with it. Than maybe add Klipper with an old Netbook laying around or an Raspi to increase speed. Add Octoprint for a webcam (with an old smartphone) to finally cnvert it to a Switchwire ... THIS would be an upgrade path with gaining lots of knowledge in setting up software, building, tuning. Wouldn't it? Off course: the P1P is the fast route to arrive at having a "fast tool". But what if something doesn't work properly: can somebody fix that without the experience you have? And: isn't the journey the reward with that hobby? Greetings! p.s. After the P1P is available for some weeks now (according to reviews coming out), it would be nice to know how far the addition of extras can go! You mentioned a enclosure for ABS. Are the standard designs sufficient enough to enclose the printer? Can an chamber fan be added and controlled via the screen, as well as a filter for printing ABS? 4:21 That would be cool to find out! p.p.s. You don't have the link for the AMS system tested in the description or am I too drunk?!

We just got our XC1 recently and testing in the lab for the VOXELPLA profile right now. I hope the P1P isn't too different and people can use the same profile for both machines.

cant wait to get mine, pre-ordered a week ago

I had some prejudice towards getting a p1p after getting an x1c but after I considered what my use case was and spent time looking into what features were actually removed I realized getting the p1p to fill out my printer setup was a much better idea overall.

I'm getting a bambu X1c so i can print a rook printer. Then i will build a voron 2.4. that's my plan anyway. I'm deep dive researching 3d printers

I have both and they are great.

I have an X1C, which I find amazing for printing ABS. After experimenting with a few things I've settled on using the engineering plate with glue for ABS. I have a 3rd party PEI sheet that works really well for PLA but I find it releases too soon as it cools and my ABS prints warp. (I don't have the Bambu PEI because I like my bottom layers to be super smooth, so I don't like the textured surface.) I've recently had a desire to have a very very accurate printer with a 0.2mm nozzle to print very small things. The X1C is so accurate with even a 0.4mm that I feel I could get close to resin accuracy - at least when viewed from "table distance," rather than with a close-up camera shot - with the 0.2mm. But the X1C isn't awesome for PLA and it's really overkill for a "minis printer" so I'm currently wondering if I should try to save for a P1P. (Alas, there are many things competing for my 100$ a month budget, so most likely I'll just do nozzle swaps on the X1.) But yeah - all the folks just using their X1Cs for PLA and PETG are using their Ferrari to buy groceries; if those materials are all you print with, I think the P1P is going to be a better choice.

I am an X1 Carbon owner. About your question if I would be interested in the P1P. Yea, but haven't ordered one. Seems it would be great for single color PLA stuff, which is the majority of my prints. Part of me just wants a 2nd X1 Carbon. So far it's so fast I don't really need a 2nd and I never use my CR10 Pro's anymore. I have a Creatbot I use if I need the bigger print bed, but it's also too slow.

If speed is not the most important thing, is this still the printer(s) you would recommend for its price? Are there other/cheaper printers that deliver the same print quality at a lower speed?

Would like to see a smaller p1p like kingaroon or ender 2 pro

Thanks for a great review. As a Prusa Mk3s+ owner I am now seriously considering this as a second machine. I just have 2 questions: Should I wait a while to let the ecosystem mature a bit (bugs sorted out, enclosure and other add-ons made available etc) AND should I wait for any special offers that might be available (Black Friday etc)? I know Prusa offers free shipping on Black Friday but not sure if these guys have something similar in place.

I would buy the P1P if I had room or money. I love my X1C however I do more pla than abs. The X1C is the only reason I can print abs at this point.

Looks like a good replacement for my wife's Flashforge when she's ready for a new printer. The Flashforge has been a good printer for her but dang, I'm not sure how companies like Flashforge are going to survive with a printer like this available. Also, that Uncle Jessy P1P is a great example of how much fun this printer could be to wrap.

Great review!

I think it'd be interesting to see how the new FLSUN V400 compares to this speed wise, or maybe more the X1 Carbon. I've been interested in both the V400 and the P1P. P1P Seems like it'd yield better quality overall though but would still be a cool comparison.

I 100% agree with your final thoughts, it'll take printers like this to push other companies out of the "bottom of the barrel" rut we are in with the Ender clones, as long as it actually sells well. I've already been recommending the X1C to anyone willing to spend up to $1,500 on a printer but don't want to build their own since it has all of the features to "just work" and not need to tinker constantly. The P1P is a Prusa MK3s killer as it will replace my sub $1,000 recommendation as I recommended Prusa for their top-tier customer service. But needing to completely build the printer yourself, even with the amazing instructions included, is a bit much for someone who just wants something that'll work with minimal hassle. I know a lot of people are worried about the open source nature of Bambu Lab but there has to be a little trade-off here. The average customer isn't going to care if it is open source or not, most of what they buy today isn't. If we expect them to make money off their products it'll need to be the closed source stuff they do it with that no one else can just flat out copy.

Is it possible to do a hot swap for filament colours with the AMS? say you have 5 colours in a part and 1 of the colours finishes early in the print ,can you add the 5th colour in that filament slot?

You said you turned off the lidar on the x1c, have you tried to use the lidar on the PEI? I have heard it dosnt work with the lidar. Finally ordered the x1c the other day, have not got it yet.

the fact that they fix your problem during the weekend is crazy! RTC is real time clock. I will definitely consider Bambu for my next printer. Right now I have prusa mk3s+. The moment prusa release the Mk4 bambu will release something new.

I had that same bug in my X1 Carbon

I’m not a pro, but to print abs is not to close the printer. Be aware of air quality.

I am hoiping to pick one up soon. Are they compatible with other slicers? I want to use prusaslicer 2.6 for the organic supports when it comes out, but dont want to lose multicolor capabilities

Not sure P1P or the x1 will be first 3d printer P1P great price

Seams like you really love the P1P. I’ll take the X1 Carbon off your hands 😊

why is no reviewer mentioning the severe VFAS and ghosting, ringing issues with the bambulab printers ?!? I do get the hype, but please also share the negative aspects of these printers.

Yes, best one

I love their strategy and its a much more capable machine than a Prusa. I've seen many Prusas that had some time on them (hundreds of hours) and wasn't impressed how they hold up. I was also not very impressed at the quality of their PETG parts. It's a very overpriced machine for what it is. I will give them some kudos tho, they do offer very good support.

Is there a printer that you'd recommend over this one for roughly the same price that does come with the hardened gears?

I haven’t seen your earlier video on the higher end Bambu Lab printer so perhaps you provide details there but in this video you flash past the idea of requiring an account of some sort to run the P1P. Is this correct? Personally I would never purchase a printer that requires an actual account, or worse a live internet connection to some external site, to run. It really is a show stopper for me. I know it isn’t an issue for many users but it is for me.

Is it possible to manually do the linear advance test and set the value into the software?

Two questions on P1P vs X1C. The P1P specs list a Bluetooth capability lacking in its older cousin. What functionality does it add? I live in a mid-size apartment. What is the noise difference between the models?

Would you prefer an encoder wheel to the buttons the P1P has?

The X1 Carbon is the only one worth it because of the new step in tech with the lidar. The others are overpriced for just being another FDM machine.

Some have been critical of it not having this and that, i look at it as a printer for those that cannot afford the X1 carbon but you can upgrade it as you get the funds which was smart move i think.

What I'm seeing in the models printed but not mentioned is the VFAS and ringing that plagues a lot o X1c's. Can you do a more in depth look at surace quality on these printeres? To me it seems like the input shaping just doesn't work, on my own X1C and on lots o pics and videos I see other prints from bambu's printers.

I just ordered the P1P. It comes "preloaded" with both the camera and LED light now. My question is can the camera be replaced with the camera that is in the X1 Carbon? I have seen and read that the camera in the X1 is superior to the one in the P1P. Thanks for your video and help in this question.

Price to performance...no other company that I'm aware of can beat the P1P or even the X1(C). There is going to be a big exodus of printer companies soon, I can feel it.

Nice video. I have a solution for the calibration😆

A $600+ Printer IS NOT a "BUGET Printer". That Being said this thing is amazing for its cost vs the Much More expensive $1000 to $3000 Printers out there and I am definitely getting one soon. Nice well filmed and informative review btw!

Would Matte PLA be considered abrasive? I run mostly matte pla's and don't want to damage the p1p that is on it's way.

I am having the same type of issue with my P1P were it is pausing randomly but resumes after a few seconds. Plus when printing the menu is laggy/unrespondvise but only when printing. Currently waiting on support to see what it is.

Upcoming gridfinity episode?

There's a misspelling in the title of this video.

Hi guys what are your thoughts on this the All-metal Extruder Upgrade Ender 3 v2 FLSUN Heat Treated Metal Gear HRC60 OMGV2S F1 Set 3D Printer Part OMG V2s found on Aliexpress

I'm curious on how well the P1P perform when printing thin walls (.4MM)

Love my P1P

Need a buying advice X1C vs P1P. Not counting the look and the fancy control panel, do I get the performance and print quality of a X1C if I replace the head to a hardened steel version and add some DIY side panels to get a closed chamber on a P1P? I would like to print high temperature materials like nylon, carbon filaments, ASA without warping.

Would it be possible to upgrade it to a X1 Carbon, this printer would be a instant buy. But with the limited upgrade ways and artificial restriction, its a no go for me, especially with all that proprietary stuff.

I'm really curious about how these bambu lab printers compare to Voron printers in terms of quality and speed. I don't mind the DIY of a Voron, but building one is kinda pointless if these are just plain better.

Hello exist a problem with the fixed z height of the extra fan?

I own a p1p cause I like the pei plate which do not work with the x1c lidar. but the p1p does not seem to allow access to the SD card from the slicer for easy repeatable prints (annoying if printer is far from computer. what do you think? I believe the X1C has the firmware to access the Sd... very positive review for a fantastic printer that still has some limitations. thanks

...aaand I bought a Kobra Max for the same price the p1p costs... -which is nothing but trouble. :/

Had trouble installing the camera on mine, either the "Clip" was missing or I broke it off without realizing , have a ticket in with Bambu and they are still looking at the problem. I also have the X1 carbon that is very nice. thanks for another great video

Do you think this machine would be good for a print farm?

Bambu Labs has only 1 listing for "extruder" and that's a "Hardened Steel Extruder Unit" for the X1 exclusively. So you can't get ANY extruder replacement for the P1P? I have a suspicion (wishful thinking as I've ordered one) that a hardened extruder will be available for the P1P.

Hi can you run three spools on th AMS same color forth one being PVA and will it change to the next spool automatically if one runs out on large prints ?

Curious what settings you may be running for the auxiliary fan, since you noted you thought it was worth having. I found with the default 70% in the filament profiles, bed adhesion on the left side of the bed was terrible (even on large based parts), and I've been running it around 10-20%, though it hardly feels beneficial there. Any thoughts?

Can it be used with octoprint?

The only review I need is... "Would you buy it as your primary 3D printer?"

bambo carbon or qidi ifast? you have used both

You should not public any personal belongings. Especially a simple thing like a QR code that can be used by anyone. Be aware of the many possibilities any hacker gets apon your accounts!

So I know they are very different printers, and ignoring price, I am torn between this and the FLSun V400. You have tried both, putting cost aside which do you prefer?

I was seriously considering purchasing a P1P but the fact it can't handle abrasive filaments is a non-starter. Maybe when I can throw my Dyzend pro on it I'll reconsider

How loud is it? Would it work as a desk top printer? Also grate video!!

I WANT ONE SO BAD but I have to come up with $650 more dollars for the x1 lol
