Printer comparison
I am looking to buy a new (for me) printer. With my budget being around 500€, i could get a Anycubic Cobra S1 combo (450), a Bambulabs P1S (350) or a Qidi Q2 (499). While all of them are enclosed and are very fast printers, only the Kobra S1 is equipped with a filament changer.
I prefer out of the box accurate prints, i don’t mind clouds but prefer to print locally.
Can someone who has experience with two or all three printer give me an advice?
A chummer got the P1S and is happy, so i tend to buy that one as it is the cheapest option for me as well.
Thanks for your help

in reply to PostnataleAbtreibung • •I have #Anycubic S1 combo at home and when it prints, it prints cool.
However, I have constant issues with network connection on it (the firmware is shit). ACE also does not fit some 1kg spools, be aware of it.
If you have questions, feel free to ask.
I mostly print #PETG, sometimes #ASA

in reply to Schmaker • • •Thanks a lot. Yes, network issues are, well, not that relevant when printing from usb, aren‘t they?
Whixh spools don‘t fit the ams? Is there a pattern?

If you stick with bambu ams diameter, you should be just OK
Ad USB printing - yes, it works without any issues

While bambulab printer is close to plug and play (can't talk for there others you mentioned), because of closed source, finding fixes to some issues can be sometimes problematic. You can find documentation but way less than other printers as they hide a lot of knowledge...
Your friend may not have issues with it yet but it if you go on bambu lab discord server, you will see that many people are having issues. What I mean is all printers can have a lot of different issues so don't believe that if you take a p1s, you won't have any problems. 1 person may not have much issues for a long time but meanwhile 10 people will struggle.
By the way, some may think "another bambulab hater blablabla" while reading my comment but I have 3 printers and one of them is an A1, so no, I'm not a hater, overall I like it but that will be my last bambulab printer for sure.
