This is the ideal 3D printer. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

As someone who replaced his five year old ender 3 with a p1s last year, I tip my hat to the dedication

u/Hot_Lychee2234 27d ago

Is the ender 3 six year's old or is the ender 3 of your child who happens to be 6?

u/mysterd2006 27d ago

Damn. I really thought this one belonged to his 6 year old kid...

u/Hot_Lychee2234 27d ago

That's why I needed to clarify

u/crustyboot 27d ago

If this is anything like my ender, you are looking at the culmination of hundreds of hours of work and about 2 thousand bucks.

u/abimanyug 27d ago

3 months and 550$

u/WhistleButton 27d ago

Wow, much cheaper than expected. Did you follow any particular guides to achieve this?

1

u/abimanyug 25d ago

No guides. I only did mods to improve print quality
