The verdict
Buy the Adventurer 5M.
The P1P scores higher but is discontinued. The best value enclosed printer on the market. Enclosure, HEPA, and speed at this price is hard to argue with. The Pro adds a camera and some upgrades at a higher price; most users don't need it.

What owners say
Same guts as the P1S at a lower price. If you add enclosure panels, you basically have a P1S.
P1P owner, r/BambuLabBambu quality, CoreXY speed, open frame flexibility. Solid machine.
P1P owner, Thomas Sanladerer (YouTube)Enclosed printer under $300 with HEPA? Flashforge is pricing this thing to sell.
Adventurer 5M owner, r/3DprintingMy go-to recommendation for families. Kids safe, fumes managed, prints great.

Pros & Cons
P1P
- +Identical CoreXY motion system as the P1S: same speed, same print head, same quality
- +Aftermarket enclosure panels are cheap and turn this into a near-P1S for less money
- +Bambu's slicer and cloud ecosystem work the same as on every other Bambu
- −Open frame when the cheaper A1 Combo includes AMS Lite: the value math is awkward
- −AMS sold separately: the one thing the A1 Combo has that this doesn't
Adventurer 5M
- +Enclosed with HEPA filter: cheaper than the Pro version with the same key features
- +Toolless nozzle swap takes 30 seconds: pull the module out, snap the new one in
- +600mm/s inside an enclosure is faster than most open-frame budget machines
- −220mm cube is smaller than open-frame rivals at this price
- −Proprietary nozzle modules: you can't use standard 0.4mm nozzles
Buy these with it
A printer does nothing without these. Grab them in the same order.
- ELEGOO PLA filament, 1kgThe easy filament to start on. Prints at low temperatures and warps less.
- ELEGOO PETG filament, 1kgTougher and more heat tolerant than PLA, for parts that get handled or sit in the sun.
- SUNLU filament dryer S1 PlusWet filament causes stringing and rough surfaces. A dryer fixes that before you blame the printer.
