The verdict
Buy the Qidi Q1 Pro.
The P1P scores higher but is discontinued. Packs industrial features into a consumer bracket. ABS, nylon, carbon fiber: all reliable. The exposed chamber heater safety issue is real though, not something to wave 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)Turn up the heat. The Q1 Pro brings industrial-grade chamber heating to the consumer market.
Qidi Q1 Pro owner, Tom's HardwareA heated value. Consumer 3D printer with industrial capabilities at a fraction of the cost.
Qidi Q1 Pro owner, 3DPrint.comThe heated chamber is a game changer for ABS and nylon. Just wish the firmware was more polished.

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
Qidi Q1 Pro
- +60C chamber heating: ABS, nylon, and PC without warping
- +350C hotend handles every engineering filament you'll throw at it
- +WiFi 6, 1080p monitoring, timelapse built in
- −Exposed heater is a genuine safety concern, not just a nitpick
- −Casing feels cheaper than the spec sheet suggests
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.
