Kind of on the fence between the two. I’m coming from a Neptune 3 Pro running Klipper and using Orcaslicer so either option would be a definite upgrade.

I was pretty dead-set on getting the P1S since I’ve heard how good the Bambu printers are for so long now, but now reading into the issues with privacy a bit more I’m somewhat skeptical. I’m pretty handy with networking so I’m sure I could set up some firewall rules to exempt it from phoning home while allowing me to use their slicer, but it’s still a concern of mine.

I’ve seen a lot of people here recommend the Qidi Q2, which uses Klipper and has all the same features as the P1S otherwise, so I’m looking into that a bit too. The P1S with AMS is for sale at Microcenter near me for $550, but the Qidi Q2 is at $650 (albeit with a filament drier) plus whatever the shipping would be. Should I pick up the P1S this weekend like I was intending or hold out for a sale on the Q2?

    Look I have used a P1s ~2.5yr as my main and just bought a q2 (haven’t used it) but price v price, spec v spec pick the q2
