Mk3s+ vs p1s
Same STL, same filament, however the one on the left is printed with p1s using Bambu studio and the one on the right is our mk3s+ with Prusa slicer.
I'm curious about your expert opinions.
The only differences in slicer settings (I didn't compare gcodes) are that Bambu studio has significantly higher speeds and higher temp (220 while I set my Prusa at 190).
Printers wise, obviously p1s is a corexy and mk3s+ is a bed slinger. I think the p1s has better cooling given the stronger fan and better design duct. My Prusa hotend fan (not part cooling fan) has one broken wing so it has significant vibration.
I don't know if you can see the differences in the printed objects well in my uploaded pictures. Despite using the same filament, the mk3s+ object is significantly darker and shinier. The VFA is more visible on the p1s object, at least in part because it's not as shiny. The p1s definitely has better cooling since overhang is better and you don't see the scattered seams like the mk3s+ object. I'm a chemist (admittedly a biochemist) and I'm shocked by the differences in color and shine. Differences in annealing shouldn't affect color that much. What do you all think?
RE: Mk3s+ vs p1s
The dull color is because the filament is not getting as hot in the P1. While the temperature is hotter the filament is not spending as long in the hot end. It's nearing underextrusion. If you raised the nozzle temp say 10 degrees it would probably be more shiny. This dull color is common on the Bambu machines because of how fast they print.
My experience is opposite of your thought, usually shiny parts show VFA's more clearly than dull parts because the light reflects more on the shiny part
From the pictures it looks like the MK3 part looks better imo.
RE: Mk3s+ vs p1s
I agree that the mk3s product looks better. Imma try raising the temp in the p1s to test this out.
