Hi there,

I’m considering upgrading my old ender 3 and it looks like the prusa MK4 or bambu labs p1s are the current best options out there.

I like the bambu labs for the fast print speed and x/y print bed. I also love the idea of the AMS - it would be awesome to print in colour! But being closed source puts me off a bit as I currently use octopeint and obico to monitor my ender 3 which, as far as I can tell, Is not possible to use with bambu labs. Also having to upload gcode to the cloud is not ideal.

The prusa however is great because of the open source nature. However the slinger bed and slower prints are putting me off. I have also read that the mmu can be temperamental at best, so printing colour may not be an option?

Any thoughts/recommendations?

Thanks

    I was in the same position, doubting between a mk4 and a p1s. Decided to build a Voron instead, no regrets.

      Which one in their range is comparable to the printers OP mentioned?

      Edit: Never mind I get it now
