Im looking into getting a solid user beginner 3d printer. I tried with a used ender 3 pro and did nothing but screw up and waste time.
The pluses i see are the enclosure for better condition control and the ams for drying. Does anyone know the difference in the ams and ams 2 pro cause im not seeing much of one.
Anyhow thoughts do it or no anyone have other suggestions if not bambu labs?
Thanks
I have a P1S and I’ve been very happy with it. You can upgrade it to a hardened nozzle and extruder gears for a pretty reasonable price.
If you don’t need multi color printing, the Elegoo Centauri Carbon seems like a great bargain option. Elegoo Centauri Carbon | Best High-Speed CoreXY 3D Printer – ELEGOO US
The AMS is their old style (old as of 2 months ago). It really does not dry filament but you keep desiccant beads or packs in it and since it is an enclosed container, you can keep filament dry for months. On the X1C there is a monitor for the actual humidity level in the AMS unit so that you can see when the desiccant needs to be replaced.
The AMS2 is brand new and actually has additional power going to it with some sort of heating/drying element in the unit to actively dry and keep the filament dry. With the new R2D printer, there exist one plug receptacle (120 v) for one AMS2. For any other printer or for additional AMS2 units added to the R2D they include a 110 plug/adapter for this added power consumption.
