Hi there,

I'm considering upgrading my old ender 3 and it looks like the prusa MK4 or bambu labs p1s are the current best options out there.

I like the bambu labs for the fast print speed and x/y print bed. I also love the idea of the AMS - it would be awesome to print in colour! But being closed source puts me off a bit as I currently use octopeint and obico to monitor my ender 3 which, as far as I can tell, Is not possible to use with bambu labs. Also having to upload gcode to the cloud is not ideal.

The prusa however is great because of the open source nature. However the slinger bed and slower prints are putting me off. I have also read that the mmu can be temperamental at best, so printing colour may not be an option?

Any thoughts/recommendations?

Thanks

The thing that gets me is that the P1s is SIGNIFICANTLY louder than the MK4 according to everyone who has a prusa and got a p1s.

That is definitely a big concern for me personally. I don't know if a voron can be built to be very quiet, but it is always something that prusa did very well.

They've said they'll upgrade X1 and P series with active noise cancellation they have on the A1, will be interested to see how much that reduces overall noise.
