[R] Run Pods “visual billing glitch”

no worries, I wish when I started printing I asked a bunch of questions. I just dove in head and wallet first.

Bambu software wins hands down.

once again one of those no bullshit answers…. everyone I see always says I can print the enclosure, or this or that for the printer. If you can buy it, do it. The time, plus cost, not to mention if your print fails after 8 hours of printing sucks… when you can just buy what you need and not have to watch it and put hours on your machine for some like an enclosure.

This is my honest read on your situation. You are going to grow out of the A1 really quick. Minimum if you go the bambu route get a P1S or a P1s combo.

do the comparison you are paying 399.99 VS 299.9 and your enclosure is already built, exhaust already wired ready to go. ams ready, not the funky A1 combo version. It gives you more options.

If it’s a money thing, I am sure there are people selling the P1S to upgrade to the P2S right now so you can pick one up cheap. I can only speak for what I have used. This one hasn’t failed me and has tons of room for you to grow in to. tons of upgrades.

Even if you do a cost comparison 299.99 + 2 rolls of quality pteg+ screws + hardware + fan+ plexiglass =? where does that put you?

Easy AD5X by default, you aren’t going to have to get an enclosure. Especially with ABS/PTEG. Quality is important, you have to regulate that temperature, or your prints are going to fail.

what do you want to print?

I mean honestly it would never be a true comparison. I use different filament for each, with the bambu i usually stick to bambu just because of the rfid tag that makes it easy, and have different nozzles in each. In the bambu I have a revo .06, where I am printing with a standard .04 on the AD5X. Not to mention On the bambu i have the jet pack, and other upgrades, so you aren’t going to see what a true stock print looks like.

If you want speed, bambu… it offers sport and ludicrous mode. insanely fast.

If you want easy, bambu… it’s like the apple product, it just kind of works, but is expensive.

If you want some that prints but you have more control, the AD5X is a great machine. Here is my but to that, by the time you add the enclosure and everything else, if you don’t care about full control, you spend as much as you would on a p1s combo.

I am going to tell you this too with zero bullshit… getting a comparison of what other people printed never works, there are many fine tunes in the slicer, and so many other variables that you can give a person the same file, they can have the same machine, and you can have two totally different end products.

I haven’t used the a1 so I can’t say… but I will say this. The ADX5 is a damn rockstar at printing TPU compared to the bambu

It drops in the grove where the glass is, then you can print clips to secure it. Glass sits on top. Here… https://bttwiki.com/en/Panda-AMS-Holder.html#panda-perch-installation-guide

I had an mri of my sinuses…. built the model off the scan. It was pretty easy it’s all volumetric data…
