Our verdictAt $249, this CoreXY platform includes automated bed levelling and a 280°C direct extruder to bypass common mechanical setup issues. Because it is an open frame, it cannot maintain the ambient chamber temperatures required to print ABS or ASA without warping. It represents strong raw speed and hardware for PLA or PETG, though long-term reliability ratings sit below the category benchmark.Bundling the enclosed P1S with the AMS unit provides multi-material management alongside reliable thermal stability. The sealed chamber enables trouble-free printing of engineering materials like ABS and ASA without draft-induced layer splitting. It is a proven, turn-key solution for multi-colour functional prototypes, provided the buyer accepts proprietary hardware constraints.
Pros and cons
  • CoreXY motion system with fully automatic bed levelling
  • 280°C direct extruder with quick-swap nozzle mechanism
  • Competitive hardware capability relative to purchase price
  • Open frame precludes printing ABS and ASA
  • Sub-4.0 average rating across large user base
  • Enclosed build volume natively supports ABS and ASA
  • Automated multi-spool feeding and filament switching
  • Automated calibration minimizes user intervention
  • Substantial price step over standard single-material bedslingers
  • Proprietary component ecosystem limits third-party modifications
