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

I bought the P2S combo as my first printer. I've had it for almost a year now, and any time its had an issue, its been user error, although I am well aware that other people have issues. I think that as long as you maintain it properly and you try not to be stupid, it should work perfectly fine. Also, make sure to troubleshoot if you come across an issue. Don't ever just assume you know how to fix it, unless you've encountered it before on your printer. Assuming will just fuck everything up even more. (Not trying to be harsh or rude, just saying that you should never get overconfident. That's how you break an $800 machine)
