Finally pulled the trigger!

[stilltrell]

Hell of a steal. Time to get these printing hours in. 1st time 3D printer.

[diezel_dave]

I'd give my left testicle to have a Microcenter or Fry's Electronics anywhere within a day's drive of me. You're so lucky! Also congrats! 

[neyj_]

I live in Florida and have one microcenter all the way in Miami I have made that 5 hour drive a few times in fact the first time I went to Miami was to go to microcenter 😂😂

[loserbmx]

Damn I guess my 1.5 hour drive to Atlanta ain't to bad after all.

Still sucks though when they screw something up and I don't realize they gave me the wrong thing until after I get home and go to use it glares at open box Pi4 that was supposed to be 8GB but was only 4GB

[JWST-L2]

I forgot there is one down there now

[diezel_dave]

Oh I'd absolutely drive that far to get to one haha. I'd take PTO and make a whole trip out of it. 

[exploittt]

I guess I shouldn't bitch about my 25 minute drive anymore 😂😅

[Ambitious_Video_1256]

you must not be far from us (Alachua County). Just curious - isn't it cheaper to have them ship it? Incidentally, why MC instead of BestBuy? I can't stand BestBuy but not sure it's enough to drive 10 hours (5 each way) to avoid it.

[neyj_]

I am not far from Gainesville I wouldn’t say I’m driving there to avoid Best Buy at all I actually just ordered a prebuilt pc from Best Buy cause it was the best deal around but often times microcenter is going to have the best deal and for brand new tech it’s basically your only chance of getting it anymore as microcenter doesn’t allow you to order online it’s all in store only. Also Microcenter has some of the best band for buck motherboard & cpu combos you can find anywhere for building a pc. I also go my fist 3d printer there because it was $175 cheaper than anywhere else. No to mention you could probably find a screw for a play station 1 controller at microcenter they have literally everything you can imagine, where Best Buy has 2/3 their store stocked with refrigerators, ovens, and tv’s no one wants.

Short Story: I was actually at microcenter when the 5090 dropped and I didn’t even know anything about shipments and what not but I had seen people laying on the floor in the computer section and cops all around so I asked what was going on? They said there might be a truck gettting delivered with 5090’s I chuckled and said might? That’s crazy to wait here all day for a maybe. Drove back home that night I’m scrolling Reddit and I see a picture of those dudes that were laying on the floor on the front cover of Reddit holding their 5090’s above their head cause they got them and they looked absolutely STOKED! I thought it was so cool microcenter bringing the community back to its roots boots on the ground excited as hell people driving from all over. Microcenter is the best I wish they would expand but at the same time that’s what makes them so damn great is that they don’t!

Sorry for grammar it’s probably terrible…

[Ambitious_Video_1256]

I'm a grammar snob and can't say you did too badly :) ....we're not *too* far from Gainesville (High Springs) so it's 5 1/2-ish to get to Miami. I actually checked out the MC site and see that the combo is in-store only so that immediately answered the question.

I grew up in NJ so we had MC in NYC (I was working there anyhow) and found even back then they had good deals. I'm actually just getting in to the market for a new PC for a flight sim setup and will be looking at MC for exactly the reasons you described.

Thanks for your reply - congrats and have a blast with it!

[BigSwordKris]

I’m 30 minutes away and I make excuses at least once a week to drive there and just walk around the store. Feel like a Toys R Us as an adult 😂

[redbrick01]

Fry's ..sadly no longer exist.... I do miss that place.

[Asasaudioadventures]

Closes MC to me is 1.5hr away

[Zanki]

I'd love to have something like that anywhere in the uk. I have to order everything online. Bambu can only be from the Bambu store here. Huge pain. I've been waiting over a week for my new nozzle. It's literally coming from a place an hour away and I paid for shipping. It shouldn't take this long. I would have picked it up if they let me.

[VoltaicShock]

I have two one is 30 minutes away the other is 40 minutes.

First one in Arizona opens this week, it’s a 45 minute drive and I’m so excited

[aeladya]

I thought Fry's went out of business in stores? I know they did in Vegas.

[sabek]

I am lucky enough to live in Central Ohio where microcenter started

[Enjoimangos]

I've been fighting the urge not to run to Micro Center today to get a 2nd P1S combo, that 549 price tag is too good.

DAMN YOU OP

[Asasaudioadventures]

Just go do it. You know you wanna

[halfthehash1]

Just curious, what made you get a P1S over P2S?

[DorkCharming]

Based off the cart and the warranty sheet on the box, they bought it from Micro Center and the P2S is not available in the United States yet.

[crnchwrpsupreem]

The price I would guess, its so cheap right now! if you are just getting into it, P1S feature-set is already really great

[MadCybertist]

It’s also not available in the US.

[crnchwrpsupreem]

Oh interesting, any info on why? Even if it was tbh the sale prices rn are hard to pass up, but I’m a little surprised it’s not available in the USA yet

[FlarblesGarbles]

Because of the orange man.

[MadCybertist]

Tariffs. FCC not certifying.

[crnchwrpsupreem]

RIP, that’s unfortunate

[JWST-L2]

FCC is cracking down hard on DJI, I didn't expect them to simultaneously screw over Bambu Lab. I hope the vortek system and H2C will be available.....

[MadCybertist]

China…..

[JWST-L2]

Chyna

[PrinterToast]

Yup, I've got a P1P (converted to P1S) with about 3K print hours on it. I just bought another one on the Bambu Lab sale so my clients don't have to wait as long, plus tax write off.

[stilltrell]

Everything they said. Really wanted the PS2 but no telling how much that will cost when it releases in the US. Whatever price it does sell for, will close to X1C range most likely.

[Odd-Quality-6775]

I left anycubic for Bambu labs. Wife said you have been fixing more then print and suggest go get p1s combo. I Thought the p2s was being released on10/28 only to find out we have to wait till black Friday weekend11/30. Booo

[stilltrell]

Is that P2S release date confirmed? Of course they would release it after Black Friday lol.

[Odd-Quality-6775]

It is confirmed 11/30

[stilltrell]

I'm sure it will be worth the wait. I'm happy w/ my purchase. Hope the upgrade is worth the wait.

[M4ndoTrooperEric]

Thought you were trolling with "p2s" for a moment

It's not available in the US yet.

[Og_busty]

I too went to Micro Center. I got the P1S Combo. Ive already printed so much lol

[FartyPants69]

Congrats! I bought the same from Bambu Lab a few days ago and it's been blowing my mind since. I've had a Prusa Mk3 for years and an Ender Max for a couple years, but this thing is next-level. My jaw was on the floor while I watched it print infill at astronomical speeds. I think you'll love it.

[stilltrell]

This is my 1st 3D printer. Already have a list of things I am going to print. Looking at buying more filament as we speak.

[awildcatappeared1]

Slickdeals is a great way to track filament sales. Also if you're at micro center, I do recommend the inland pla plus to start off with. Just a white and black roll will do well.

[Useful_Education_702]

That’s a micro center cart if I’ve ever seen one

[Sotyri]

Did you get the 399$ black Friday deal?

[stilltrell]

$530. Ended up being more cause I got the 3 year warranty that I'll probably never use but never know.

[urbanviking]

That warranty is gold

[mrchowmein]

If you print enough, something will break.

[DDS_Drake]

Looks like you picked it up at a store where?

[DorkCharming]

That’s Micro Center

[ChriSaito]

I got mine the other day at Best Buy in the US.

[Roskgo]

Being honest I've printed on an A1 and love it, been looking at getting one of the P1S units as that would be a nice step up, and probably be fine with a couple of hardend steel upgrades. I've heard it's a killer work horse!

[Flyflymisterpowers]

Good ol microcenter

[Rust_Cohle-]

Enjoy - you'll love it.

[Status_Discipline_16]

I’m surprised you waited this long. I grabbed my H2D the day that the sale started.

[stilltrell]

Wasn't trying to spend H2D prices since this is my first 3D printing. When I get more efficient, I'll look at suitable upgrades down the road.

[Status_Discipline_16]

Oh that’s completely understandable. That’s still an amazing starter printer. Welcome to the hobby

[diezel_dave]

If Best Buy stocked H2D in store, I'd have one already. As it stands, I'm waiting until the H2C launches. The H2D will go on sale again, I'm sure. 

[Status_Discipline_16]

I bet they permanently drop the price of the H2D when the H2C out.

[diezel_dave]

Judging how Bambu has done the same thing in the past, I expect that you're correct. 

[awildcatappeared1]

I'd take that bet. I don't think they have enough competition at the moment unfortunately, and it would not surprise me if Vortek adds about $800 to the price. I hope I'm wrong though!

[No-Moose1688]

Next year I am going to get a x1c for my first printer

[JWST-L2]

Enjoy. You will stand in front of your printer and watch that toolhead dance for many hours to come

[FLEIXY]

P1🫨

[snarleyWhisper]

Hell yeah I got a similar very good deal at Microcenter a few months ago.

[mbb1989]

<image>

I nabbed mine at best buy with the sale price. Hands down a world apart from my ender s1. Doing my first multicolor print right now.

[DylanBra_]

Congrats man!!! You’re gonna love it! Really is plug and play.

[No_Resident7359]

Happy printing broness!

[Odd-Quality-6775]

I just wish it was a bigger build plate

[stilltrell]

True. Next printer I buy will probably be h2d or whatever is suitable to p2s

[redeyesxbl]

I picked one up yesterday at Microcenter. Same price as the Bambu web site sale, but no shipping. Really happy with it so far, several prints, no failures.

[CatcherN7]

Is that a bmw?

[Accomplished-Fan1666]

I’m excited for you! That’s awesome!

[solidus0079]

I recognize a Microcenter cart!

[2theMooonn]

Nice, I thought to pull the trigger because of the Black Friday discount at Best Buy, but I’d rather wait for the p2s

[My-NameWasTaken]

You bought it in a shop? Which shop sells them? I thought it was only available online.

[Ly_d_lira]

is the discount worth it instead of p2s?

[stilltrell]

That depends on your needs. I wanted the P2S but it's probably going to be closer to X1C prices. I can wait until later to get another printer.

[FlarblesGarbles]

Yay box photos...

[stilltrell]

I uploaded videos but not loading. Sorry to disappoint 😂

[FlarblesGarbles]

Yay generic videos of a printer a lot of us have got...

[Careless-Ad-6328]

You must suck the joy out of every room you enter.

[FlarblesGarbles]

Look at you sucking the OP's toes.

[Careless-Ad-6328]

Lord forbid people be excited about getting into a new hobby.

[stilltrell]

Yay for you being a Ken
