Boss asked me if I wanted a 3d printer, to give him 3-levels of options

The X1E was the only one with network kill switches and did not need any cloud interface to work, which is why it's usually the only one a facility that I mention tend to buy. Unless something has changed on those models?

This 3D Printer Is Practically Cheating… | Bambu Lab A1 Review

The creator identifies the Bambu Lab X1E as an enterprise version of the X1C, costing $3,000, which he uses as a benchmark for the A1's print quality, finding them almost identical.

Prusa vs. Bambu

It can be a tough pill to swallow, but you won't regret it. Here is some reassurance, I'll show you an identical print I did on a Bambu X1C and a Prusa MK4S. Its Bambu woodfill PLA. The X1C was meticulously calibrated (Ive been printing for 15 years) and I otherwise used Bambus own profiles for this filament. Here is a closeup of the layer lines on the X1C. and next, the MK4S, with absolutely zero calibration and just the default Prusament print profile. Here is the Prusa MK4S print. This isnt just a one off machine issue either. I use two X1Es, an X1C and I've played with a P2S and H2S at work. The results are typical. Ive tested prints with every Prusa machine. I own them all. Bambu struggles with top layers, too. Here is some previous gen, generic woodfill PLA (lower temp, slower speed). Bambu X1E on the left, Prusa XL on the right. This isnt to knock Bambu either, theyre convenient and still generally have decent print quality, but you really do get what you pay for with a Prusa.

Beginner User: Enterprise printer Bambu Lab X1E Combo 3D Printer

I have seen many say not to go this route and buy the X1C instead. Thats because generally speaking the X1C is cheaper and does everything the X1E does except for a couple of minor differences, and the price tag new is massively different What else do I really need to buy beyond the filament? Nothing more than you really would for an X1C, everything that is suggested for that machine applies here because thats all it really is Same slicer, same filament, same hardware and nearly the same spares, although you might find that getting certain parts will be difficult as the bambu site doesn't list spares for the X1E because its the enterprise model, but most of the X1C parts will be compatible outside of the electronics
