There is a Bambu p1s on its way to me. I will exclusively print ASA and my impression was that the p1s has a good track record with ASA. My prints will be mounted in glider cockpits and require the UV resistance.

Money is a bit tight, so I decided against prusa as my first printer.

I am curious if anyone has good experiences with alternatives for the p1s with regards to ASA printing?

Yeah .. nah. Bang for the buck the Bambu mashines are just really good. And X2D even has a heated chamber. If you don't have the cash for a Prusa, but want similar levels of "just works"™ there sadly are not many options.

I mean I print ASA with my Voron, but that is build it yourself and high level of tinkering.

There are alternatives like QIDI Q2. But .. it will probably not be as fire and forget as Prusa or Bambu.
