Preface: I'm on my third cheap printer in the past ten years. I bought an Anycubic kobra neo a few years ago. I told myself I wouldn't mess with doing anything to it, but I was running into issues because of low quality control. I put it away due to frustration for the past year and now needed to print something and just figuring out all the issues. Right now I'm looking into upgrading the part cooling fan as I cannot get rid of stringing even on low temps with PLA. I should just buy a good printer but I just don't feel like I can justify it.

Bambu p1s. The printer stops being the hobby and designing and printing things starts being the hobby.

I've done a couple things with it, but nothing that is mandatory at all. Little things like a place to store the pei sheet, moving the external spool holder to the side of the unit, etc. Nothing to improve performance.

It isn't cheap but man its an excellent printer
