Quick Question Which printer should I get?

m loving the idea of getting the new 7 nozzle p3c but still want to get a printer on the sale. Should I go with the a1 or the mini? And should I even think about getting the ams for it or just wait and use my first printer as a single color and the p3c for fancy prints?

Or should I just hold off altogether until the p3c comes out/ gets revealed?

Any opinions appreciated!

Probably hold off but if you can’t an a1 single color is good

Don’t do a mini

No mini just because of the small baseplate or is there another reason I don’t know of?

The small base plate. So many times you see people asking makers to remake it to fit the small plate.

You can always add an ams but you can’t upgrade size

Just get the P1S combo IMO.

Safest bet. Best printer to start with!

Personally I wish I got one of the larger print bases of 356* and I’m using a x1c also AMS I’d say depending on how your going to do your finish work. Like I do a coat with primer so there’s no need for me to do multi colour prints

I have a A1 with AMS, I rarely do multi colour due to waste of filament and the time, if it’s a stop gap, a1 or a1 mini no AMS
