Uh, not really.

I wouldn't buy an alternative to a P1S, because only the P1S is the best at being the P1S. (Whatever that might entail)

Instead, I'd look at things from the perspective of "what do I want?" and not "What does the market offer? Okay, I want that thing. But no, I want an alternative to it that is that thing but without downside"

Letting a brand set your frame of reference is the first step into total dependence.

Thanks for your reply. Only used PLA so far. But later I'll need "engineering parts", Nylon/PA12 or something like this. Strong, water and UV resistant, outdoor.

It shouldn't be too complicated and not too expensive. E.g. while the Prusa Core One+ seemed nice (from a superficial look) it costs more than I wanted to spend. P1S came out as the best (barely) adequate printer for what I thought I would need when I looked at it. But it's difficult to say if you are a beginner and basically have no idea...

There aren’t currently any alternatives which do an equally good job of printing, except for other Bambu products.
