Bambu is making the best, fastest 3D printers I've ever seen. It's 2x to 2.5x faster than other comparable printers, and print quality is as good or better. Although you'll never completely escape "3d printer hell" (where you have a problem that you have to experiment to solve), Bambu comes as close as I've ever experienced to "hit print and the part just comes out of the printer, with screwing around."

Although I'm reviewing the top-end X1C, Bambu has two other printers that are significantly less expensive. The P1S and P1P are just as fast and easy to use as the X1C, but with a few corners cut to save price. Many hobbyists--especially those who don't print more exotic filaments like ABS and carbon nylon--won't notice the difference.

If you're at the $300-ish price point on a printer, the Bambu printers are simply out of reach. But bear in mind that by the time you finish upgrading that $300 printer, you might have afforded a P1P, which will unquestionably give faster, easier, better results. If you're in the $500 and up price point, there is a good chance this is the printer you should buy.

I have my X1C for a couple of months now and I love it.

The P1P works with the AMS btw. Any plans to share those specific TPU profiles?

Unfortunately, the one I got from a "3d printing professional", he asked me not to share. I can share the sainsmart one I got from Bambu though. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/g2y04m0jmzd648m37vff0/SainSmart-TPU-Green.json?rlkey=zacwwx4ge5x28t7erhgqhk8q8&dl=0
