Second Printer Choices, How Heat Effects Equipment and MORE!!
This Episodes Questions:
Hi guys, enjoy the show. I’m new to 3D printing having purchased a Bambu A1 earlier this year. I’ve recently begun tackling DIY projects that require long print times, so I’m considering adding a second printer to use while my A1 is busy. Initially, I planned to buy another A1, but I’m now thinking about getting a different model to broaden my 3D printing capabilities.
So far, I’ve only worked with PLA and PETG, but I’m open to exploring other materials as I learn more. My budget is capped at $500. What printer would you recommend to complement my A1 and expand my options? Thanks for your suggestions! Mike S.
Hi,
Does the external temperature( household)along with the printer fans, both part fan and auxiliary potentially conflict to create issues with the MC board overheating, filament issues when printing and/or anything else? Can I use a temp controlled enclosure to prevent conflict in maintain temps or will the P1S suffice for this purpose?
Thanks for this podcast.
Once again,
Rosemarie

I am curious what computers each of you use for all things 3D printing. I would also like to know what you all recommend, including brand, OS, speed, memory and so on. Thanks, Clint
I have two questions, the first being the availability of an AI program that can produce 3D printing files. Rosemary

Centuri Carbon or P1S?, Good TPU Printer?, and MORE!!!
This Episodes Questions:
Recently discovered your podcast on Spotify. Looking to upgrade from my JGAurora A5S. I’m wanting to start printing some small functional parts that will be used outdoors with ASA. Just wondering your take on the Centuri Carbon vs k1 vs P1S. All claim to print well with ASA. Looking to save money, but willing to pay a little more for a P1S if it is that much better. How does the print quality compare between these 3 machines especially for materials like ASA and are the extra features of a P1S or K1 in your opinion worth the increase in price from the elegoo? I don’t mind tinkering a little bit with a cheaper machine, but I also want it to be reliable out of the box. Thanks! Jon
I currently own a Bambu Labs P1S and I’m very happy with it. However, I’d like to get a second 3D printer dedicated solely to printing TPU. That way, I can keep the Bambu available for PLA and other materials. The TPU I plan to use is 85A shore hardness, and I’ll mainly be printing RC crawler tire inserts. Appearance of the print isn’t important—just functionality. Really enjoy the show! Thanks. Dan
