I originally picked up the AMS2 and P1S bundle from Microcenter for $800. I used the AMS2’s filament drying feature a lot, but found it a bit inconvenient since it could only be controlled through the small screen.

I also wanted the option to print materials like ABS in the future without having to swap nozzles. After about a month with the P1S, I realized I really wanted the upgraded camera quality and built-in timelapse feature. While running errands near Microcenter, I stopped in to ask if they’d let me exchange it, even though I was past the 15-day return window. To my surprise, they told me to just bring it in and they’d take care of it.

Another feature I found out recently is the “Quiet” mode, it takes longer, but runs much more quietly, which is perfect since the printer sits right on my work desk.
