So I had my first major printer issue over the weekend and I've got to say I'm very please with the repair-ability of the #bambulabs #p1p throughout the whole process.
I'm not 100% sure what actually happened, but I got an error notification partway through a print, and when i went to investigate I found that the hotend had somehow snapped in two, and the raw, unmelted filament was sticking out of the slot it'd normally have gone into. I've heard that the hotends that ship by default with the P1P are a bit substandard, so no huge surprise there, but a still a disappointment.
So I hopped on Bambu's website, ordered a new hotend assembly, it arrived in just a few days. I also took the opportuntity to replace the toolhead cable with the heavy duty replacement and add a cable chain.
I'd say overall the whole process took ~30m from start to finish, and that was with my learning how to do it as I went. Already a few prints in on the new hotend!
