Fourth try on a print. Tried to add some adhesive to the bed to get it to stick better. Watched the first two layers and went to bed. Woke up to a printer on strike.

    You get a spare hotend with the purchase of a P1S so I assume they give you one with any of their printers.

      You do on the P1S? I’m highly tempted to get one with the AMS, I have several printers that I’ve bought or built over the last 15 years, but even the ones I’ve bought need to be fucked with every time I go to print. The word I’ve gotten is that these are pretty much ignorable and ready to go even after a long hiatus. And an enclosed build chamber for potentially using ABS again is very interesting to me. I stopped fighting with ABS when PETG came out, but it has it’s own set of shortcomings.

        Do it. I was in your shoes about a year ago and finally pulled the trigger on the X1C and haven’t regretted it once. My previous printer was like the ship of Thesius with upgrades and still failed all the time. I’ve got probably 700-800 hours on the X1C and have only had maybe half a dozen prints fail and only one repair needed which was covered under warranty. The only maintenance needed has been greasing the screws, which it kindly informs me to do when needed.
