P2S or P1S for farm use
Hello everyone! I currently run a small print farm with 12 printers—9 CC1s and 3 P2Ss. I recently discovered Bambuddy and have been really impressed with it. It’s gotten me thinking about eventually replacing my CC1s so I can manage the entire farm through Bambuddy.
I’m trying to decide between buying more P1Ss or P2Ss, and I’d love to hear from those of you running print farms.
One concern I have is maintenance. I don’t replace nozzles very often, but when I do it’s usually because of a “blob of death.” I just had that happen on one of my P2Ss, and replacing the heating element was much more involved than I expected. I really like how, on the P1S, you can simply swap the entire hotend assembly in just a few minutes.
For those of you running multiple printers, which platform would you recommend for a print farm, and why? Is the P2S worth the extra maintenance complexity, or would you stick with the simpler hotend replacement on the P1S?
