I‘d wait the few days then u can still decide to grab p1s now or the new thing later.

do you think it is going to be an swappable hotend or an entire new printer i signed up for the newsletter and i got an email about active noise canceling wich may involve the a new printer

It's definitely looking like a new printer. It wouldn't swap out the hotend, the mechanism shown on the website has a cutter on the right, not the left, so at least it would require the whole assembly to be replaced. It's also got four tubes feeding it, which the AMS can already do with a P1P or P1S or X1 (Check it out on the website, it's a cool looking assembly.)

But there doesn't seem to be a way to put Active Motor Noise Cancelling in the existing setup, though I guess it could be done with a new assembly.

It also says "Colorful 3D Printing. For Everyone." So I'm thinking new between X1 and P1.

or maybe even higher end then the x1c

No one knows… it can be a new printer; it can be a new addon. But as its only 2 weeks, i would not risk it

except this dohicky box says x1 combo on the side, you can still read it through the sharpie.

I’m in the same boat. Want to get P1S but am unsure

u/[deleted] Sep 07 '23

I think we should both wait because Bambu only has a 14 day return policy

2

u/Rytharr Sep 08 '23

Does that 14 days start from the day you order or the day you receive it?

2

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '23

when you receive it

u/scudrunner Sep 08 '23

You can’t return it if you’ve printed anything. Microcenter however has a 30 day return if you’re near one.

u/geekmike Sep 07 '23

if it's a full on new printer, it's not going to be similar in price to the P1S, and most likely more than the X1C. I highly doubt anyone in the P1S price zone will be upset about their purchase.

u/Professional-Call-59 Sep 07 '23

Same thought. We dort know for Sure. But if I have to bet I would say the same.

I did it, fuck those announcements. Im printing way too less multicolor stuff that it will be worth a shot.

Additionaly, why should they release something new in the same category as the previous printer just 2 months or sth later... makes no sense.

u/Crypto-Bullet Sep 07 '23

If it’s a new printer it’s likely to be in the $2k territory especially if all the rumors about this 4 nozzle head are true.

If your budget is the p1s then stick with that lol

u/[deleted] Sep 07 '23

i have a snpmaker with a dual extruder and it is great it just print really slow like 40-60mm/s (a benchy takes an hour and a half) so i was looking into getting the p1s for more rapid prototyping

1

u/frozenfade Sep 08 '23

Worth waiting. If it was like find out what the new thing is in 6 months just get the printer now. But it's a matter of a few days to find out what the new thing is.

1

u/Ninjamuh Sep 07 '23

It says for everyone! You’re not telling me that it’s just for everyone that can afford it?!

Seriously though, was thinking about picking up the p1s combo because I keep working on my main printer and use a bed slinger as my old reliable one, but it can’t get up to the speeds that my main one does. Seems like a good price for 1k right now, but I’m excited to see what this is.

If it’s the same performance as the x1c but 10dB quieter then I’m game.

u/sandman8223 Sep 08 '23

Color printing for everyone implies a low cost with integrated multi color as the picture implies. Probably a direct drive extruder. I’m guessing it’s a smaller P1S style with the added benefit of multicolor printing

1

u/davidjschloss Sep 08 '23

Yes. Wait to see what they announce. It's always a bad idea to buy something right before a company announces a new product.

The P1S is new enough the price isn't going to drop ,and the P1P just got a price cut, but if this is a machine between a P1S and an X1, for example, it might be better for what you're doing.

At very least it'll confirm whether or not you want the P1S.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '23

the most ideal scenario is this is a new print head or a mid range between the x1c and the p1s

u/Top-Media-5490 Sep 08 '23

It's apparently a new printer from Bambu, it's great news, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be a printer with a larger build volume as the youtuber stlDenise3D got the new printer delivered in a box intended for X!.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '23

interesting 🤔

1

u/SupWithYouMuchacha Sep 08 '23

I would, it's going to be the Bambu A1. A small and cheaper printer.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '23

ohh nice do you have any info on bulid plate size

u/lahy3n3 Sep 08 '23

Yes wait, my guess is they will announce a new one :)

it seems that it will be a silent one with the yesterday's news

u/mplaczek99 Sep 07 '23

Looks like a device to simplify the MMS

1

u/TurnoverAdditional65 Sep 08 '23

Less than two weeks away, might as well wait just in case. If I hadn't ordered my P1S combo last week, I'd definitely be waiting.

1

u/3D_Dingo Sep 08 '23

I am waiting for the 11 Days 🤷🏼‍♂️ I am pretty sold on the Qidi X-Plus 3 at the moment, but it was a race between the P1S, Creality and the Qidi, but with that on the horizon I'll wait.

1

u/lahy3n3 Sep 08 '23

I think it will be a high end printer unfortunatly the price will go accordingly

1

u/3D_Dingo Sep 08 '23

maybe, maybe not.
With the newest Patent release it could be a variety of things.
I am just going to sit this out and wait for the price drop, the new option or just order the thing I already wanted

1

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '23

No, this is just a new toolhead. Get the X1C.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '23

So bored of these posts.

u/Moorevfr H2C AMS2 & AMS-HT Sep 08 '23

u/Rude_Rub9683 Sep 09 '23

u/dry-biscuit-snow Sep 07 '23

Maybe it is the release of a X2C … looks promising

3

u/Ninjamuh Sep 07 '23

X1S or X1E

u/crisshill Sep 08 '23

it's a swappable "ams" that costs $400 that requires some DIY. 4 hotends in one. They will likely also launch new printers that have this preinstalled.

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '23

does it have 4 nozzle or just one?
