I’m looking to buy an intermediate level printer to upgrade from a MK2, and I’m deciding between a P1S vs a MK4.
I have never considered getting anything other than a Prusa, since I’ve had such good experiences using mine, however I heard that recently they’ve switched away from their open source model(?)
That and being made in the EU was the main differentiating factor for me, however I do hear really good things about Bambu printers.
Does anyone have experience with either?
Edit: Found a lot of the information I was looking for here: https://lemmy.world/post/9500502
From what I’ve seen the Bambu might do better prints - but having started 3d printing with a Flashforge printer a few years ago with the main issues I had related to their closed source slicer and some problems with spare parts I’d never buy into a closed ecosystem again. And Flashforge was doing variants of open designs, so you still could put in more effort to rebuild parts to non-Flashforge-components on issues - no such luck on the Bambu.
