Bambu P1S vs X1C - Which 3D Printer Is The Best?

Thank you

Im an absolute noob at 3d printing but i for sure want an enclosed 1 because of my pets, are they both noob friendly?

Is anyone of these printers faster, if so by home much?

Budget is one of the major factors but I don’t want to upgrade nozzles and hot ends for materials like cf stuff and specialty stuff that makes this toy a real tool

does the x1 carbon already have the stainless steel gears and hot end that you mention to upgrade in the p1s?

The P1S is $549 right now on the Bambu website for their Black Friday sale.

What happens to print speed ?

As someone looking at getting into 3D printing, the Bambu series look like the best place to start. The A1 is really good, but I'm not sure about a bed slinger. I'm probably going to print mostly in PLA, at least at first, but buying a P1S or X1C will kind of future-proof my needs if I decide to get into PETG, ABS, etc. My only issue with those printers is the small-ish build volume. Looking at the Qidi printers, or the K1-Max, they have significantly more build volume, but also seem to have some issues and their infrastructure for parts, etc. doesn't seem as deep. The user experience with Bambu also seems to be the most solid out there. Honestly, if they came out with "max" size printer with a 300mm+ cubed build volume, my decision would be made. I get that the lidar is cool in the X1C, but the P1S would be just fine for my purposes, except for the low-rent screen interface. Even the A1's interface is better than that. Hard decision.

Practical comparison, conclusion makes sense, PA would also have been interesting but glad you chose a harder filament

I only am subscribing because you didn't put stupid music in the video and got straight to the point 🤙🏿

As a former R&D engineer who spent lots of time with 3D printers and mostly worked on structural designs. I am keen to get the X1C for my art studio even though it will be overkill. Then your video came in my feed... I will mostly be using it for art studio brackets or mountain bike brackets. So I was on the fence if to go P1S or X1C. But if they can both do ABS just fine I will get the P1S. If I need more printer, then that will be a great problem to have. Thanks for this video!

Thank you so much!

I'm just waiting for the x1 carbon to go on sale.

You could do a short of the two of them printing a multi filament object to see if that would make a difference.

You had me at "it's just you and the slicer"

Could you print that on an A1 with a DIY enclosure?

I can't wait to buy my p1s next week :D

Using your affiliate link now to purchase my P1S. I really appreciate your video on the printers, and the Polymaker videos are as equally helpful. I'll be using your affiliate links there as well. Glad I can give something back after all the information you created. Things have aligned so much for my business this last month, and as I prepare new content, 3d printing will have a place in addition to the CNC and lasers in the shop that we use.

Thanks for the video it's exactly what I was looking for

Did you have to calibrate for different filaments in the p1s? Or just load and print?

Cost aside;
Is there anything else that makes a P1S Better than an X1-Carbon?

How much time it took to print that on X1c?

Can you print a full size helmet on the x1c

Thank You for that video :)

Thank you, ! wasn't sure about whether to go for the P1S or the X1C, the more expensive machine has some nice features but I print PLA mostly and this has made my decision easier!

thanks for the video reallygood to the point and convinced me to get the p1s

I love how this guy goes straight to the meat of the decision making! I’m going to buy the P1S as budget is a factor to my purchase. Thank you!

One problem w this channel is that after spending a full video listening to your calm voice and gazing into your doe-y eyes i'm gonna buy anything you recommend 😶

no stupid music, straight to the point, no benchies, engineering filament, functional part. subbed.

Thank you for this video. It’s was straight to the facts. I’ve watched about half a dozen videos comparing the two and yours was the most straight forward. Thank you!

I want to print Nylon, will these work with Nylon?

Could you do a video about X1e vs X1c?

team p1s the x1 is just fancier but theres not a huge difference just wait for the next model im sure it will be more worth it till then p1s!!

I’m in research stage and 100% green . I am considering an enclosed printer cause I don’t want to be restricted on what material I can use . My question what material should I use for making parts for a grow room . The parts will be in soil all the time , or in a hydroponic system .it will be exposed. To warm humid environment , and UV light from the grow lights . And I guess food safe . It would be very appreciated if some one could tell me what I should use for filament and does such filament require an enclosed printer . Thank you so much for help advise knowledge!

What were the print time differences?

With both printers sharing the same surface/table/stand, do you think vibrations from either could have affected each others quality?

How do I keep thgis P1S from clogging up. It keep happening and I'm tired of unclogging this damn thing. 700 bucks and I have to keep playing with this thing.

I'm getting ready to throw my CR-10 out of the window. This was very helpful for what to replace it with. Thanks!

You need to compare Budget Filament on the X1C vs P1S. Big difference, the X1C will print all filaments with great quality where as the p1s will struggle.

The P1S needs a much beter screen.

Is it not available in the U.S.?

Begginer question for someone who does not have a printer yer but i want to get the P1S...why you hit the part with a torch?

I would only buy the carbon for the simple reason is I might want to upgrade the P1S.. So why not just get the whole best first no upgrades needed and start printing.

Shame the p1s doesn’t have the touchscreen though

Aside from Lidar, the other big advantage of the X1C over the P1S is that it supports more materials, no?

BTW, any thoughts how the Bambu P1S compares to Infimech TX?

Wow there’s no layer lines 100% awesome prints loyal both look amazing in quality

I subscribe and give you a 'like' because you answer most of the questions that are pertinent except for maybe one that I posted below.

what do you mean by '...access to the Bambu slicer...' must that be used online only? does it not operate offline?
and please see my question in my reply to @WreckDiver99 below...

The backround






Imagine how much all that filament cost
