## What reviewers found

### Bambu Lab P1S

- Tom's Hardware: Said it hits a sweet spot with affordable CoreXY speed, an enclosure for high temperature printing and simple auto leveling. Downsides were noise, proprietary parts and AMS filament waste. [Source](https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/bambu-lab-p1s)
- All3DP: Printed ASA and PC with little corner warping and found auto bed leveling consistent. Criticized the 720p, 0.5 fps camera and some software limits such as blocked microSD access from the slicer. [Source](https://all3dp.com/1/bambu-lab-p1s-review/)

### Flashforge Adventurer 5M Pro

- 3DPrint.com: A full volume ASA print took 24 h 44 min with no warping and a 100 mm cube measured 99.70 x 99.71 x 100.02 mm. Measured 68 dB average and 79 dB max. Ran with 100% uptime over a month; TPU needed 30 to 40 mm/s. [Source](https://3dprint.com/312375/flashforge-adventurer-5m-pro-review-a-compact-powerhouse-for-3d-printing/amp/)
- 3Dnatives (9.5/10): Scored 9.5/10 with 10/10 for print quality. Auto calibration took about 15 minutes with no manual input. Cons were a confusing slicer transition, small build volume, no multi material and a rear mounted spool.
