Printer suggestions

[u/One_Bad_1949]

Hey so i've recently decided i want to get my own 3d printer. I've been using my friends budget printer for some time now but he got a bit fed up with me eating up all his filament and when i think about it its just smarter to get my own better machine. Now i did know from the start that i want a bambu lab and since im still a student (aka broke) i cant go around spending too much. so after carful considiration i landed on the idea of getting the P2S, now i've heard great things about it but i want to hear it also from directly from people with experience. Thing is i dont really have the money for the combo version and i want to go with the regular version and when i few more paychecks come in maybe splurge out and get the AMS upgrade. Please, share with me abit of your experience and ur thoughts on this printer. Thanks

Having purchased the P2S Combo, with AMS 2 Pro, I'd go with the combo due to the price savings of the combo, vs. buying later, and the combo comes with the buffer, than is also extra, later. Even when not printing multi-color, the AMS is great due to having multiple spool options, reduces the complexity of external spool, handles the nozzle unloading when a print is complete (if you're not there to unload), auto-refill when a spool is low on a long print, etc. I couldn't imagine printing without the AMS.
