I can't figure out how the stuff is such a good cleaner. I've yet to make a mess it can't clean up on a flattop.

For sure, I vastly underestimated the amount of time I would need to put into it. I have some nephews that are coming of tinkering age so I do wanna keep it around and keep learning. Overall I think it's a rad hobby, so when I have time for hobbies it'll be good.

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

Rad, thanks for the insight. From everything I have read so far, the x1 and p1p aren't too different, so should be a decent comparison. I'm mostly trying to do cool looking pots and little toys for my kiddo, so don't need perfect prints. Just need it to be able to print more than twice without having to tinker with it. I have wasted a lot just doing test prints.

 

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.
