It arrives assembled, requires relatively little initial setup and handles important calibration tasks automatically.

The AMS gives the Combo considerably more creative potential than the printer alone.

Automatic filament switching opens the door to multicolor models without requiring you to manually swap spools throughout a print.

Its enclosed body is useful if you want to move beyond basic PLA projects.

Combined with its speed, automatic calibration and broad material compatibility, the P1S is a machine you aren't likely to outgrow quickly.
