Bambu Lab P1S
The enclosed speed machine most buyers should start with

The P1S is the sweet spot in Bambu’s lineup: enclosed CoreXY speed, automatic calibration, and optional AMS multi-color without jumping to flagship pricing. It is the appliance experience (send a file, get a part) that made consumer FDM explode.
