- Is the X1 Carbon worth it over the P1S?
- The X1 Carbon adds lidar bed leveling, first-layer inspection, a hardened nozzle and a better camera. The P1S prints the same size and speed class but needs more manual checks. Choose the X1 Carbon if you want the most hands-off experience.
- Do I need the AMS?
- No. The printer works fine with a single spool. The AMS is for multicolor prints, automatic filament backup and keeping four materials loaded.
- What filaments can it print?
- It handles PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA, TPU and most common engineering filaments thanks to the enclosure and hotend. Abrasive filaments like carbon-fiber blends work better with the hardened nozzle.
- How big are the prints?
- The build volume is 256 x 256 x 256 mm, a cube. That covers most functional parts and models but not large helmets or big cosplay pieces in one go.
- How does it connect?
- It connects over Wi-Fi for the app and slicer, and has a microSD card slot for local printing. There is no wired Ethernet port.
- What comes in the box?
- The printer, the AMS unit, a spool of filament, a spare nozzle and basic tools. You supply your own filament once the starter spool runs out.
