Will Wright’s take

Based on the specs and price

Great value

“Still a bargain, but the P2S is the better buy if you can stretch.”

An enclosed CoreXY that does ABS and ASA for under $400 is a great deal. It's showing its age, though: the camera is weak and there's no AI failure detection. If the extra $150 for a P2S isn't a stretch, I'd spend it.

Buy the P1S if

Tight budgets that still want an enclosure

Skip it if

You can afford the P2S
