This new printer looks very good.
The AMS is also a filament dryer...
Seriously impressive.

This looks like it has more features than a Qidi PRO 4 for the same price. Very impressive.

Yup. I was quite amazed. Clearly other manufacturers are gunning for Bambu.

Do you actually ever complete a new product order?

I'm waiting for the post in near future that says:

Discovered that any cubic only handles other cubics. Cancelled the order.

Ordered a Bambu P1S.

I think the online order system is just the way you hide money from your bank......

I actually got a ship notification for the Bambu last night which frankly surprised me given that they gave me a ship date of Jan 31. They cancelled it as soon as I asked.

My reasons for appearing to be all over the place on this are because I already have a fast open frame printer. Smaller build volume, single colour. But I'm concerned that it's going to go sideways on me again.
My goal is the most value for my money in a larger format, multi-color, enclosed printer.
The $331CDN cost between the Anycubic KS1 and the Bambu P1S is not insignificant. And counting in the additional features of the Anycubic; filament dryer (not available for the Bambu AMS) and touch screen ($100CDN add-on to the P1S with potentially limited lifespan) it was an easy decision to cancel the Bambu order.

And now I will be able to do some comparisons to @jcdammeyer X1C. Not a fair comparison as the X1C is almost three times the cost.
