I have an ender 3 v2, upgraded the springs/leveling knobs, and slapped on an auto leveler. I do really enjoy the printer, but I’ve found between work and raising a toddler I just don’t have the time to tinker like I thought I would. I assumed I would need to do general maintenance, but mostly be able to just print things fairly regularly. Seems I mostly just re-level this printer and barely get to actually print things.
What I’m wondering is if the P1P is as “tinker free” as it is marketed. I don’t mind maintenance, cleaning and all that, but do want to be able to have an idea and just kick off a print job.
Thanks in advance, I could just be leveling it crappy all the time too. Wouldn’t surprise me if I am just missing some critical information or something on how to level and keep it leveled.
In a word - yes. I have the X1C, not the P1P, and previously had a FFCP. I don’t have much direct experience with other printers to compare. The X1C has been an amazing, frustration free experience so far. No more hacking together gcode or having to tweak it, no more manual bed leveling, no more dealing with octoprint, and multi color prints that actually work (via AMS). It’s literally been a turn it on and print experience. While BambuLab isn’t perfect, it’s a massive step up from the 10 year old FFCP for me.
