Full transparency — I already own a Bambu P1S and an A1.
But here’s the honest part:Owning the printers is not the same as knowing what I’m doing.
I bought them because:
- I wanted something reliable
- I didn’t want to constantly fight hardware issues
- I wanted to focus on learning the process, not fixing a machine all day
What I don’t fully understand yet:
- Optimal settings for different prints
- When to tweak vs leave defaults alone
- How to make prints consistent
- What’s actually worth printing if I want to sell
So even though I have good equipment, I’m still starting from zero in terms of skill and business.
Next step: I’m running basic calibration prints and documenting everything.
If you own a P1S or A1 — what was the biggest learning curve for you?
