I heard about the Creality Hi Combo from Frankly Built. It's a blatant copy of the A1 Mini but with a better AMS system.

You should definitely block it from having internet access. I don't see any way how they'd prevent us from printing when not on the latest firmware if it can't phone home.

Try out OrcaSlicer. Same UI as Bambu Studio, actually open source and has more features. Can even login to your Bambu account to sync your filament settings.

That's my exact setup and it's great. I wouldn't trade it for any other printer. It being enclosed is fantastic.

It very much is a printer you don't need to pay attention to. Works as it should out of the box. Only thing you need to do is some maintenance. Cleaning, greasing some rods, etc... It doesn't tell you when to do it like the X1C (from what I've heard) but greasing rods is like an every 3 months thing. All their maintenance on what and when to do it is on the Bambu website.

As it's my first printer I'm not aware of any issues after a long hiatus. All I can say is that I often don't print for a month or 2 and it prints just fine when I get back to it.

I've only ever had issues with the AMS where it would snap the filament but that has only ever happened when my filament was almost empty and thus very light. I should've either weighed it down or welded the leftover on another roll. Plus that doesn't happen if you're running out mid print. Only ever happened when I initiated a new print with the almost-empty roll.

You get a spare hotend with the purchase of a P1S so I assume they give you one with any of their printers.

I did the same but with Proxmox. It's made incredibly simple with Tteck's installation scripts. Highly recommend.

I remember reading that bosses just scale to the amount of players so my guess is solo is actually solo. This would make the solo or trio only decision even stranger...

Yup, listen to this. I had problems with my PETG layers coming apart, especially the first few. I lowered the print and fan speed drastically. Fixed all the problems I had.

Hope you were able to fix your Home Assistant. I just came to quickly recommend a way to easily backup your installation. https://github.com/sabeechen/hassio-google-drive-backup

It's a scam, anyway. I did it once with Progressive when I got my first car. Had good ratings, was promised a solid discount. Next bill comes and it's the same amount as the previous bill. I call them and they say that the rate went up but with the discount it conveniently went back to the old rate.
