Bambu Lab P1S Build Volume: 256 x 256 x 256 mm Price: 699 USD assembled (549 USD during sales)
The nice features of the Prusa Core One is that it comes with an ethernet port and an integrated NFC reader. However, the bed camera, chamber filter, and hotend accelerometer are all "optional addons." All of those come standard on the Bambu Lab P1S.
At that price, the Prusa is a hard sell. I'd rather get two of the Bambu printers, or one printer combo with AMS.
Most other manufacturers just slap their logo on top of cura or prusaslicer (or violate their licenses).
Truly open source and moddable DIY printers.
People who want to tinker go with stuff like Vorons or Enders
If both printers are the same on speed, quality and reliability (and we'll have to wait for reviews to test this) prusa will be ahead again because of repairability
The X1E and P1S are atrocious in this regard. We had one X1E having to be returned to manufacturer for repair and a P1S being thrown away since repair was not worth the cost/effort
Prusa provides an easily accessible web interface running on the printer.
My first 3d printer was an mk4 a year ago, and I’ll get to ride along for two generations of upgrades so far.
