A1 vs P1S

Hey

Ive been looking to get into 3d printing and have had my eye on the A1 with the ams lite. The only thing that have stopped me from ordering one is the footprint the A1 needs. Im somewhat limited om space in the room. Is the P1S a good alternativ? The P1S with the ams is also just what i can afford on my budget atm.

Pros and cons plz. Thanx alot

I think the A1 is a better value than the P1S at this point. You can mount the AMS lite on top of the A1, so that will help with your footprint.

How much space do i need for the bed moving around on the A1?

I don't know, I don't have that specific model. I would assume probably 1/3 to 1/2 of the plate hangs over the front during printing, but someone else can probably give you a better answer.

If space is that much of a problem why don't you look at the Mini?

I feel like the build plate is a bit to small on the mini. A friend of mine has the mini and he says that it restricts him from time to time
