I have an ender 3 v2, upgraded the springs/leveling knobs, and slapped on an auto leveler. I do really enjoy the printer, but I've found between work and raising a toddler I just don't have the time to tinker like I thought I would. I assumed I would need to do general maintenance, but mostly be able to just print things fairly regularly. Seems I mostly just re-level this printer and barely get to actually print things.
What I'm wondering is if the P1P is as "tinker free" as it is marketed. I don't mind maintenance, cleaning and all that, but do want to be able to have an idea and just kick off a print job.
Thanks in advance, I could just be leveling it crappy all the time too. Wouldn't surprise me if I am just missing some critical information or something on how to level and keep it leveled.
I can’t talk about the p1p as I have the x1 (I have one at work and one in our hobby space) the both have done about 50h so not a crazy amount of time. Up until now it’s: slice the file and print it flawlessly with not adjusting of anything with perfect results. And the amazing thing is, the (near) perfect print comes out about 3 times faster then any printer we have in much better quality (we have an ultimaker 2, ultimaker original and one I forgot the name of). The only negative thing I have noticed is, that sometimes the seam is more visible then in other printers. Here a link to a pic. I have never had it that bad: https://forum.bambulab.com/t/how-to-prevent-seam-bulging-out/3891
We are testing an x1 carbon right now, too. It isnoretty amazing .
