Hi guys, enjoy the show.  I’m new to 3D printing having purchased a Bambu A1 earlier this year. I’ve recently begun tackling DIY projects that require long print times, so I’m considering adding a second printer to use while my A1 is busy. Initially, I planned to buy another A1, but I’m now thinking about getting a different model to broaden my 3D printing capabilities.

So far, I’ve only worked with PLA and PETG, but I’m open to exploring other materials as I learn more. My budget is capped at $500. What printer would you recommend to complement my A1 and expand my options? Thanks for your suggestions! Mike S.

Hi, 

Does the external temperature( household)along with the printer fans, both part fan and auxiliary potentially conflict to create issues with the MC board overheating, filament issues when printing and/or anything else? Can I use a temp controlled enclosure to prevent conflict in maintain temps or will the P1S suffice for this purpose?

Thanks for this podcast. 

Once again, 

Rosemarie

I am curious what computers each of you use for all things 3D printing. I would also like to know what you all recommend, including brand, OS, speed, memory and so on. 

I have two questions, the first being the availability of an AI program that can produce 3D printing files. 

Why aren’t Prusa printers reviewed in your podcast?

Recently discovered your podcast on Spotify. Looking to upgrade from my JGAurora A5S. I’m wanting to start printing some small functional parts that will be used outdoors with ASA. Just wondering your take on the Centuri Carbon vs k1 vs P1S. All claim to print well with ASA. Looking to save money, but willing to pay a little more for a P1S if it is that much better. How does the print quality compare between these 3 machines especially for materials like ASA and are the extra features of a P1S or K1 in your opinion worth the increase in price from the elegoo? I don’t mind tinkering a little bit with a cheaper machine, but I also want it to be reliable out of the box. Thanks! Jon

I currently own a Bambu Labs P1S and I’m very happy with it. However, I’d like to get a second 3D printer dedicated solely to printing TPU. That way, I can keep the Bambu available for PLA and other materials. The TPU I plan to use is 85A shore hardness, and I’ll mainly be printing RC crawler tire inserts. Appearance of the print isn’t important—just functionality. Really enjoy the show! Thanks. Dan

Hello Guy, JJ and Jerry,

I also wanted to let Guy know I designed and printed zero clearance throat plates for a local cabinet maker.  We got Polymaker ASA and eSUN PLA+ to work.  Also have a glue question for Guy:  What filaments work with Superglue?  I was disappointed that eSUN PLA+ does not.  And for the filaments that are immune to Superglue, what is the best alternative?  I use Gorilla Glue but it is too vicsous for smaller parts.

Thanks again,

Bert Schmitz

The trio discuss some new printers they have on the bench. You'll be surprised to hear what's going on!

Is 3D modeling the right path for me?

Have any of you used any 3D scanners? Are any of them good? I think it's a great idea, but I'm guessing the technology isn't mature yet.

Hi all, 

This Episodes Questions:

Hey this is Brody just sold my ender 3 and am going to be buying a p1s. Just wondering because the x1 x one of the P1s are 2 years old now, if they’re still valuable option in 2025 or are they just outdated over priced junk?

Hey guys,

I bought a P1S for my daughter (5) and I to have a hobby together. Well, now... now I "need" a big printer (350 cubed, or bigger). It would be just for PLA and maybe PETG... more fun prints/decorations. Any recommendations? I'm looking for reliable, solid quality, and cheaper ($300-400 preferably.  I'm fine with the secondary market)... "quiet" would be a huge bonus. I'm not really concerned with speed. On the flip side of that... I'm also pondering an "in office" printer. Again, looking for reliability, but it being quiet gets bumped up. Build volume A1 mini and up...  it will be more for fun prints, more than functional, something to help pass the time. Kristian
