Yeah the price it pretty steep. Got mine for 790ā¬ (kit price), and that already felt like a lot. Apart from automatic bed leveling if hasnāt got the many nice features a bamboo has. Mainly got it because all the parts are printable and the āopen sourceā feeling about it. If I were you Iād done the same thing.
Yeah when we bought the prusa for the shop it was like 1600aud for the kit. I actually enjoyed the build but if weāre comparing prices, the p1p comes pretty much fully assembled.

yeah would be silly to spend that much money on a bed slinger!
Bambu stuff is wild. Its like 100% dumb dumb proof. I cant imagine what a skilled printer can do or being someome who slogged through other models . Plus the speed is wild. I definitely feel like i cheated it being my first one.
My body is ready. Bank account is pretty upset but fuck that guy

Can you describe why you hate it/ what is wrong with it? So other people can know why
I donāt have any 3d printers and have no reason to support that brand and I donāt even know of them anyway
Edit: i see you mentioned about printers in this thread but I honesty donāt know if it is about this printer or not. 
Creality is like the boosted of 3d printers. Theyāre dirt cheap, entry level machines and some people struggle to maintain them 
But on the real, the printer he posted is way better at printing faster and cleaner. The enders are like $100-200

But his post included a $1000+ aud bill for it? I know that the value of aussie dollars has been declining but I donāt think it has gotten that bad for $1000 aud to = $100 usd. 
I am legitimately just very confused. Some 3-d printers all look the same which doesnāt help
Heās flipping off the creality, he bought a nicer one (~$700usd)

Yeah J-bags is on the money. I have been having a lot of issues tuning the creality to print the filament I like.
So i bought a better printer.
Some people are happy to spend countless hours fucking around with a cheap piece of shit to get it to do what itās supposed to. Iām not one of those people.

I had most of the typical growing/learning pains with my Ender 3. Mine actually still runs fine but I bought a Bambu X1C ācause I didnāt feel like having to babysit it or triple check tuning and whatnot. The Bambu just runs. Plus, cloud printing functionality is very nice and the app is very handy too (no pun intended). I know you can set up a raspberry pi and klipper setup for the Ender to do it similarly, but I didnāt want to

Yeah I only print some things on my Ender cause I canāt tune it to print most things well. I wish I had coughed up more money for something that didnāt need soooo much tinkering

Howās it been? Any desire to upgrade it?
Its not upgradeable, its 100% proprietary.
I only ordered it last night, no idea how long it will rake to arrive

In the reviews Iāve seen you can add all of the features the X1 has through upgrades
You can add the multi material unit and part fan, but the other stuff is exclusive to the x1. You can print walls for it but they reckon that itās still not as good as the x1.
I donāt need any of that except for the part fan which iām pretty sure comes in the early bird gift pack, so iām sorted.

Iāve had the best luck using the textured PEI plate for everything, but I also had good luck using the engineering plate for PETG. Glue stick on the cool plate is just annoying

Iām hoping whatever plate it comes with (i think textured pei) is good for petg. Donāt wanna fuck around with glue stick
