I’m looking to buy an intermediate level printer to upgrade from a MK2, and I’m deciding between a P1S vs a MK4.

I have never considered getting anything other than a Prusa, since I’ve had such good experiences using mine, however I heard that recently they’ve switched away from their open source model(?)

That and being made in the EU was the main differentiating factor for me, however I do hear really good things about Bambu printers.

Does anyone have experience with either?

    I’m the same way. All my smart devices are on their own VLAN with no WAN access (egress or ingress). Does Bambu require that?

      Yeah… Bambu is required to be connected to the internet. You interact with the printer via their cloud service.
