I've got a Creality CR-6 SE which has been great but I'm thinking of upgrading to a faster, enclosed unit. Currently looking at the P1S, Creality K1C and the Elegoo Centauri Carbon.
The Elegoo is the cheapest by a decent amount and looks like a copy of the Bambu unit? But it has no AMS unit (yet?). I've been printing for a few years and haven't ever felt the need to print mutliple colours and I've only ever printed in PLA (hopefully that will change though).
So I was wondering what the common consensus is on the AMS devices?
Are they useful and if so, what do you actually use them for? Different filament types, colours? Or am I missing something?
I've seem some people say they are great to start with, but that most people end up not using them much long term? Also some concerns about material wastage. That's probably not a major issue for me as I don't print that much.
I'm leaning towards the Elegoo, but if these AMS are really useful I may have to rethink that.
