I cancelled my mk4 order after a long wait that didn’t seem likely to end soon and got a P1S instead.
I was upgrading from a MK3S that I’d had for a couple of years, and I was all in on Prusa.
After using the P1S for a while now, it’s clear to me that Prusa sat on its hands for too long. The P1S is fantastic, involves virtually no setup, and gives me out-of-the-box prints better than my MK3S ever gave me even after months of fine tuning. I can’t imagine a world where Bambu doesn’t significantly erode Prusa’s market share.
Core-XY is the way to go, and I think to really compete Prusa is going to have to finally retire the i3 bed-slinger design and step into the future.
I want to support Prusa in principle, but they’re going to have to really step it up to get me away from my Bambu.
Doesn't it need to be online to print or something? What firmware is it using?
Edit: Yes it has to be online to print. There go any fosscad ideas you might have. Personaly if your sending people your gcode you already lost. Good luck claiming you're the creator of files against a company.
Firmware is proprietary. IMO not worth at all. I'll probably be picking up a Voron kit here soon.
There is lan only mode to avoid the cloud, or you can move gcode via sdcard.
