Print Farm Printers?, New Printing Technologies,Engineering Filaments and MORE!

This Episodes Questions:

Hey guys, so, I wanted some advice. I've been looking to get a Bambu Lab printer but I'm wondering if it's worth the jump from the P1S to the X1C. For me, I run a small print farm for a vendor fair/craft show business. I print primarily PLA, PETG, and TPU but I enjoy enclosed printers so the P1P and A1 are out of the picture for me. I've watched review after review and some people love the P1S, some don't, especially because of the screen and the camera. Is the camera that bad and is the screen that big of a headache? Do I spend the extra money for a better camera, LiDar, hardened steel extruder/nozzle, and touchscreen? Or am I better off buying a P1S and saving myself money? Braden

For the “Pro-sumer” and light industrial users the possibility of using more technical plastic materials, metals and continuous carbon fiber filament is very exciting and I'm looking forward to the inevitable trickle down effect from the more serious users like aerospace and automotive manufacturing. I would love to see more content in that direction but are any of you guys particularly interested in those higher capability machines or do you prefer to stay strictly in the hobby arena? Also, which of the more advanced 3D printing technologies do you think will be most likely to be affordable to the average consumer first? James

Hi guys,
I am currently running an E5S1 and E3v2.  I have a potential customer that requires the product to be temp stable in a hot vehicle and am torn between:
- Qidi smart3
- Qidi Xmax3 Plus
- Prusa mini in enclosure
- Bambu P1S
- Ratrig V-Minion
- Crealiy K1
- Voron v0
I am currently spending 30min or so getting my print chamber to 45c with the E5S1 in the tent enclosure thingy.  Any recommendations?  Is a small Ratrig or Voron farm a good idea?? Jeremiah
