I have an ender 3 v2, upgraded the springs/leveling knobs, and slapped on an auto leveler. I do really enjoy the printer, but I’ve found between work and raising a toddler I just don’t have the time to tinker like I thought I would. I assumed I would need to do general maintenance, but mostly be able to just print things fairly regularly. Seems I mostly just re-level this printer and barely get to actually print things.
What I’m wondering is if the P1P is as “tinker free” as it is marketed. I don’t mind maintenance, cleaning and all that, but do want to be able to have an idea and just kick off a print job.
Thanks in advance, I could just be leveling it crappy all the time too. Wouldn’t surprise me if I am just missing some critical information or something on how to level and keep it leveled.
Rad, thanks for the insight. From everything I have read so far, the x1 and p1p aren’t too different, so should be a decent comparison. I’m mostly trying to do cool looking pots and little toys for my kiddo, so don’t need perfect prints. Just need it to be able to print more than twice without having to tinker with it. I have wasted a lot just doing test prints.
You really can just print without tinkering. I would recommend to buy the textured PEI plate as well. It’s really an awesome printer!
Man I’m really trying to not spend money and you’re making that hard. I have an ender 5 pro and even if the print speeds were the same the p1p would speed up printing exponentially just from the everything else associated with it.
Fantastic, thanks for the recommendation man!
