Kingroon KLP1
- Discontinued. Buy the Bambu Lab A1 instead.
- 8.0 L of build space (200³ mm), 0.4× the 21.6 L average.
- Best at value: 9/10, against an average of 8.5.
- The catch: 200mm cube is the real limitation: larger parts need splitting.

The verdict
Skip it. Buy the A1.
If enclosed, CoreXY, and Klipper are all on your checklist and you're on a tight budget, the KLP1 is one of very few options at its price. The 200mm volume is the trade-off you're accepting.

Pros & Cons
Pros
- +Enclosed CoreXY with linear rails and Klipper at this price: this combination normally costs $400+
- +Compact enough to fit on a shelf while still being fully enclosed
- +Klipper access means you can tune everything from macros to pressure advance
- +CoreXY inside an enclosure means ABS and PETG print cleanly
Cons
- −200mm cube is the real limitation: larger parts need splitting
- −Kingroon's community is thin: if something breaks, you're mostly solving it from Klipper docs and Reddit
- −Needs calibration time out of the box before it prints well

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.
