The verdict
Buy the Adventurer 5M Pro.
The P1P scores higher but is discontinued. If you want an enclosure and filtration, this is the best value under $400. Schools, family rooms, shared offices: the HEPA and enclosure are features, not marketing. The small build volume is the only genuine trade-off.

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)Perfect for the classroom. Kids can't touch hot parts, and the HEPA filter keeps the air clean.
Adventurer 5M Pro owner, r/3DprintingToolless nozzle swap is genuinely useful. Switch from 0.4 to 0.6 in seconds.

Pros & Cons
P1P
- +Identical CoreXY motion system as the P1S: same speed, same print head, same quality
- +Aftermarket enclosure panels are $60 and turn this into a near-P1S for less money
- +Bambu's slicer and cloud ecosystem work the same as on every other Bambu
- −$499 open frame when the A1 Combo is $399 with AMS Lite: the value math is awkward
- −AMS sold separately: the one thing the A1 Combo has that this doesn't
Adventurer 5M Pro
- +HEPA filter and enclosure at $379 is genuinely rare in this class
- +Nozzle swaps with no tools: pull out, push in, done in 30 seconds
- +600mm/s means speed doesn't suffer for the enclosure premium
- −220x220mm build volume is cramped compared to open-frame rivals
- −Proprietary nozzles mean you can't raid a generic nozzle pack

- 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.
