I have an ender 3 v2, upgraded the springs/leveling knobs, and slapped on an auto leveler. I do really enjoy the printer, but I've found between work and raising a toddler I just don't have the time to tinker like I thought I would. I assumed I would need to do general maintenance, but mostly be able to just print things fairly regularly. Seems I mostly just re-level this printer and barely get to actually print things.

What I'm wondering is if the P1P is as "tinker free" as it is marketed. I don't mind maintenance, cleaning and all that, but do want to be able to have an idea and just kick off a print job.

Thanks in advance, I could just be leveling it crappy all the time too. Wouldn't surprise me if I am just missing some critical information or something on how to level and keep it leveled.

I love my X1C, it’s reliable and fast. I can’t comment on P1P, but seems aside from some QC bed issues that I see here and there, probably be worth a shot. Saw it’s down to $600USD today, so on sale. Probably due to 1 year anniversary of the kickstarter. If I didn’t have a prusa, I’d consider getting the P1P as my backup printer.

Dang, a sale is almost too perfect of timing. Might have to pull the trigger then.
