This is all nonsense. I just got a a1, and its my first 3d printer. I dont have any expertise. Ive been able to use the Bambu App and Maker world and basically control+P. Ive print about 10 things so far in the first week. I dont see why people are mad. They made the apple of printers. It just works(tm). I dont need anything else. People just get so upset over nothing.
I tend to agree. I've built a Prusa previously and my P1S is just so much more reliable, it's the first printer I've been able to recommend to friends and colleagues who I wouldn't expect to enjoy tinkering with a printer but would enjoy printing.
I have simply not had a failed print, it's incredible. I have so much confidence in the unit that I now keep two rolls of the same colour loaded and if I find a cool model while out and about, I just print it with full trust it'll be waiting for me by the time I get home. Amazing progress.
