Alright - so I've had my #bambulabs #ams on my #p1p for about a week now. Thought I'd give a bit more thoughts on it.
Still having issues with tangling and jams. Less issues than I had at first, but still more than 0.
Filament Wastage and added time is also a much bigger concern than i originally thought. I recently printed a Kirby pencil holder for my wife, and out of the 300g of material it took to print, a bit over 100g of that was pure wastage. Not too crazy, but it does make you think twice before adding color to things. It also ended up jamming like 8 times throughout the process
That being said, colored prints look AMAZING, like i seriously can't overstate how much nicer prints come out when you can add actual color patterns to them.
An added benefit that I don't see talked about much is how convenient it makes monochrome printing. I always keep a black and white PLA spool loaded up, and with that i rarely need to change filaments, which is awesome!
