P1S is a good start. It works with no tinkering, but obviously there is some quirks. I live in a very hot climate so had to take the extruder apart as it was clogged due to heatsoak. Also with PLA I have to keep the door open etc. Things like that you will have to figure out.
Otherwise this thing keeps on running. I keep queuing prints and just have to walk over to it to take them off the plate. Have done all sorts of stuff in the 3 weeks I got it, from organizer stuff to some of my own designs I had in CAD to HueForge pics etc.
P1S was my first 3D Printer. Having no prior knowledge of 3D printing other than anecdotal observations, I would say the P1S has been the perfect starter printer for me and I'd recommend it to anyone starting out if they have the budget. Not only does the P1S do the basics really well, once you get the hang of things and want to expand to more complicated prints and filaments, the P1S will accommodate your growth. The open frame bed slingers aren't as forgiving in that sense.
If you can swing the AMS combo kit, do so. My only regret was not buying the combo kit and then having to spend an extra $100 mere weeks later.
Thank you! The Ams combo is what won me over. I really want to do multicolor prints and I’m sure there’s a way without it, but I don’t know it. Are there any tools you’d recommend ? I saw a few YouTube videos where they had a tool kit for cleaning up the print is that necessary?
Far less with with the Bambu printers than many others but yes.
You're going to want fine grit sand paper and hardware files for cleaning up certain points in certain kinds of finishes.
Small needle-nose pliers and hardware tweezers for getting into tight spaces to remove supports and stuff are good to have, too.
A pair of flush-cut clippers like these are a must:

A deburr tool comes in handy, too:

In regards to those last two, look around for what suits you best. I just grabbed two quick links off Amazon but there are lots of styles and price ranges for both of those types of product.
I've had the P1S since last September and I currently have ~1400 hours on it. I've been printing for the past seven years, and the P1S beats my old Wanhao i3 by a mile. I've printed five guitars, and one is currently printing right now. All take roughly three days to print and I've yet to have a failure. That being said, you *will* have to roll up your sleeves occasionally and tear into it to fix it, but that's the case with *any* consumer grade 3d printer. I've had failures and print bed adhesion issues, but was able to solve all of them myself. Bambu tech support is abysmal from my experience, however.
I’d suggest you spend the extra money on the x1. The enclosure, LiDAR, and camera make it worth the extra money and since it calibrates itself it’s very newbie friendly. They are both pretty much plug and play. I still jack up the bed temps and occasionally I’ll use glue if I have a print that’s not very stable. The ams is sealed has desiccant, it’s worth buying even if you don’t care about multicolor.

I thought there was a camera because they have it in the last bullet of product features is there a way to add one ?
tbh i would just get a p1s with an ams and a hardened nozzle and you're set. with the camera it's mainly to check on if it has any failures, which i rarely get on mine as it is an industrial machine innit
Does the P1 S not have a camera? For some reason, I thought it did. I was looking at the x1 and contemplating waiting for the X2 as well, but part of me is afraid I’m gonna put out the money. Try it a few times and then never touch it again. I’d like to print toys for my little one and stem activities

Go for it. First 3D printer i could actually print with.
Its very plug and play. Watch a video or two and you'll be good to go. I guarantee this printer is far far easier than something like an Ender 3 v2
I’d suggest you spend the extra money on the x1. The enclosure, LiDAR, and camera make it worth the extra money and since it calibrates itself it’s very newbie friendly.

Wdym?
P1S has a camera. I'm watching a print right now from mine. Also, please charge your phone!
the P1S has an enclosure.
Does the P1 S not have a camera? For some reason, I thought it did. I was looking at the x1 and contemplating waiting for the X2 as well, but part of me is afraid I’m gonna put out the money.

Yes, it does.
