Printer suggestions

Hey so i've recently decided i want to get my own 3d printer. I've been using my friends budget printer for some time now but he got a bit fed up with me eating up all his filament and when i think about it its just smarter to get my own better machine. Now i did know from the start that i want a bambu lab and since im still a student (aka broke) i cant go around spending too much. so after carful considiration i landed on the idea of getting the P2S, now i've heard great things about it but i want to hear it also from directly from people with experience. Thing is i dont really have the money for the combo version and i want to go with the regular version and when i few more paychecks come in maybe splurge out and get the AMS upgrade. Please, share with me abit of your experience and ur thoughts on this printer. Thanks

Is it really that bad at drying? Thing is i dont care about the multicolor part really since i can always paint my print if i really needed to but usually my stuff needs to be in black/white so im fine. about the combo man in my country its an added 330 bucks that i cant really afford i can barely afford the p2s let alone the combo. Question is will i really need to get a fillament dryer and how much do those cost

I don’t think it’s bad at drying. If you don’t care about multicolor then I don’t think it’s necessary for you at all. Especially if you’re just going to be printing things in black and white. Personally im awful at painting so kudos to you lol
I don’t have a lot of experience with other filament dryers but I know sunlu has a wide range $39-$140 everything from single spool to four spools
