The P1S does seem like a good value overall.
I've heard the screen is quite primitive with the P1 printers, and I expect that will become your primary interface with the printer if you are not using the cloud print functionality.
You will also not get the benefit of the automatic calibration features.
For myself that makes it less desirable. However, there is also some value in understanding the manual filament tuning and printer calibration process as it helps you troubleshoot when things go wrong.
If the P1S existed when I was getting into 3D printing, I likely would have purchased it. It's at a similar price point without the AMS to the Ender 3 S1 Pro (which is what I learned on) and the P1 has many more capabilities.
You are talking about the lidar? It can still auto-bed-level without internet right?
Yes, and you will still get automatic bed leveling on the P1 series. I do not believe that requires any cloud connection.
Alright, thank you!
