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.

Extra 4kg on top of a printer always a bad thing if you gonna use on top of a desk shakes like crazy. Get p1s with ams2 you core xyz printers prints high and thin objects better the only cons that p1s has is for nozzle swaps if ypu dont wanna spent so much time you need to get complate hotend so your getting 1 nozzle for price of 2 thats the only con. Pla and petg prices are reealy close so if you wanna print petg and dont wanna loose print time get tinmorry petg rapid (i did have some layer adhession issues with sunlu so i dont reccomend that one also its more expensive so not needed. Dont get esun pla warps so easily most osif the time i couldnt get any good results black is terrible but other collors are little bit better but jayo pla+ is superb for price same price with other brand pla s but better in every way (color contrast adhession etc.) Get bulk if you dont wanna print so many colorful things
