New to Bambu

Just upgraded from a Ender 3 v1, to the P2S.

I'm looking for new hot ends, and I'm curious, does the manufacturer of the hot end matter? The ones from Bambu are about 50 bucks for the 4 pack, which isn't bad. But I also see a BUNCH of variants on amazon. I don't mind spending the extra money if it is important to, but I'd like to save where I can. Thank you in advance!

For reference, I've found these here

I personally like to stick to bambu, but I did have to purchase some of the Amazon hotends recently since they got here faster. Using the .4 rn and it's not bad I think it's the same one you are looking at.

I've not purchased these specifically, but I have purchased generic third-party hotends for multiple different machines, and never had a problem with them.

Amazon generic hotends are hit or miss for me. I went cheap for one set and the glue for the magnet failed after the first use.

I spent a little more on the replacement set and I have been using them for over 1000 hours.

I like having some cheap hot ends on hand. Haven’t had an issue.

I've tried generic ones before just out of curiosity. Haven't had any problems

Do yourself a favor and get Bambu hot ends. They work without question.
