  • One or two hours? Sorry but I don’t think you realise exactly what’s need to be done here. It’s not like some other kit which are partially assembled, and the assembly process is probably the main key part to get very good print quality. Can’t recall how often I’ve seen people trying to diagnose some print errors while the issues were not due to calibration or settings but due to assembly, so being focus and taking all the time you need for this process is crucial as it isn’t like assembling some IKEA furniture. Does 30 ish hours sounds a lot, yes but if it the time that person needed to do things correctly because of its lifestyle and knowledge/confidence, that’s perfectly fine. Would some other do it in way less time? Sure, but maybe they have mount several before and know exactly all the key points to look out, they will recognise every single piece on one sight and will need way less time to think about the next step and how to do it correctly.

    Might not help you a lot to decide but something to take into consideration… While bambulab printer is close to plug and play (can’t talk for there others you mentioned), because of closed source, finding fixes to some issues can be sometimes problematic. You can find documentation but way less than other printers as they hide a lot of knowledge…

    Your friend may not have issues with it yet but it if you go on bambu lab discord server, you will see that many people are having issues. What I mean is all printers can have a lot of different issues so don’t believe that if you take a p1s, you won’t have any problems. 1 person may not have much issues for a long time but meanwhile 10 people will struggle.

    By the way, some may think “another bambulab hater blablabla” while reading my comment but I have 3 printers and one of them is an A1, so no, I’m not a hater, overall I like it but that will be my last bambulab printer for sure.




  • You already had some good advices but something I haven’t seen mentioned. If you use Kodi (and probably a couple others media player), you could use some sub plugin like open subtitle (forgot other names) to fetch subtitles on the fly when you will play video. It can be hit or miss at first, but subtitles name are like release name (title, quality, release group). So if you often encounter a release group that do your sub language. Try to download video from same release group, so you will have better chance that audio/sub sync properly.

    This apart, +1 for private tracker as already mentioned, you may need some searching to find one but worth it.
