Looking to get another printer that shall be printfarm compatible. What do I mean?

  • reliable
  • easy to service
  • excellent replacement part availability
  • affordable
  • affordable replacement parts
  • AMS (switching spools once it runs out & multi-color within a flat layer [not vertical/between layers])

Normally I would just buy another A1 mini (180€ without AMS) or P1S (650€ with AMS) but with recent issues with the printer & support quality & them banking hard on proprietary with Support staff who don't know what their error messages mean make me question if those are still the best option or if some other company meanwhile took the crown.

other spec:

  • approx. 256x256mm
  • exclusively used with PETG-filament
  • enclosed (keeping dust out)
  • network connected. ideally with a web service to use it remotely
  • in stock (this sadly disqualifies the Elegoo Centauri Carbon which seems to be the goto at the moment).

The Anycubic has presets for .4 and .6 in brass or hardened steel. It's only missing .2.

I couldn't care less. Drying is done in an oven.

You can't claim the S1 is incomplete for not having a .2 nozzle presets and then turn around and say that a built in filament dryer doesn't matter when Bambu made it a pro feature. Especially when .4 is what you get out of the box from Bambu and .2 requires modifying your printer by swapping the hot end.

Bought the P1S combo (AMS 1) for 636

Where? I see 800€ everywhere.

And where I "go after" Bambu is what you didn't mention: locked down firmware and no alternative slicer.
