I swapped out one of my Sidewinders for a P1S, it's fantastic machine. Now I'm debating ditching the other Sidewinder, it feels so slow now. :D
A P1S is my main machine now too. I have 2 AMS units on it so that I'm good to go with options. I've been tempted to pick up an A1 as a 2nd machine to print the smaller/easier stuff.

Someone's looking to get a timeout… ;)

I print a ton. I have a print workshop set up now in one of my rooms.
I love my 3D printer. Here is my biggest project that I've done, A 3D printed Hydroponic Tower:

Took me several weeks to print all of the different parts.

So what’s the end cost on your end for something like this with that size?

Nice! I've never tried to do anything with water before. I tried some y splitters a few years back for an air system and could never get them to be completely air tight. They'd slowly leak and I'd loose too much pressure after a month. Had to replace them with brass ones. That was with my old ender 3 though. I should give them a try with the bambu now.

yeah I have a cheap Ender 3. Thankfully the tower doesn't have to be water tight, it just needs to contain the water as it trickles down over the roots into a standard 5 Gallon bucket.

That is truly funny bro.

Seriously though we have a Bambu Labs multi color 3d printer that we use for fixturing, prototypes, and even some products we sell.

Eventually this type of tech will morph into metal 3d printing that is as affordable as the plastic and carbon fiber filaments we use now.

When you're ready to upgrade check out the Bambu printers. It's night and day coming from an Ender 3 and you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner.

Ha, that is funny that someone made this.

Ive always thought busts (queue the jokes) were kind of creepy.

We had a guy in my PO academy that had a bronze bust made of himself in uniform after graduation. We all found it to be incredibly weird. Had to cost a fortune. He didn’t make it through field training was fired 3 months later. lol
