Introduction
This video reviews the Bambola X1C 3D printer, focusing on the speaker's regrets about the purchase. The main point is that while the X1C is a good printer, its higher price compared to the P1S doesn't justify the added features for the speaker's needs.
Key Takeaways
- Automatic Material System (IMS) Issues: The speaker found the IMS largely unhelpful and problematic, causing more trouble than it solved. Filaments, even those included with the printer, didn't work well with the IMS.
- Cool Plate Problems: The X1C's included cool plate for PLA required glue to prevent adhesion issues, resulting in embedded plate fragments and gray shadows in prints. This is considered a drawback, especially in contrast to glass plates or other methods.
- Neural Processing and Camera Limitations: The speaker found the X1C's neural processing ineffective and the camera largely unnecessary. Neither feature provided significant value.
- PI Plate Superiority: The speaker highly prefers the PI plate (included with the cheaper P1S model) over the X1C's cool plate due to its superior performance and lack of need for glue.
- Price-to-Value Ratio: The speaker concludes that the X1C, while a good printer, is overpriced compared to the P1S, especially considering the limited practical value of several features.
