I also went from Creality to Bambu (P1P in a sale) and never looked back, the P1P is faster (bodyshells in under 5 hours instead of 10-12), better quality and more reliable. The Creality printers were good entry level printers some 6 years ago on price, quality and reliability but there are better entry level printers in the last few years that have come down to the Creality entry price level and are just better all round like the Bambu A1.

My Creality printers (Mini & CR10S) went through fans, fan ducts, heater elements, nozzles, drive belts, filament pushers, filament PTFE tubing, on a far too regular basis where as the P1P is still on its 1st hardened nozzle, and every other part that the Creality seem to use as a consumable. P1P reliability wise over the last 2+ years has been faultless, just regular maintenance to clean the magnetic sheet, remove stray bits of filament and clean the movement rods.

The only issue I have had was self inflicted after I enclosed the printer, the chamber heated up to the point where PLA got too soft to feed and jammed. Removing the top cover for PLA, allowed the chamber heat to dissipate curing the problem.

Modifications so far to the P1P was going to a hardened nozzle, enclosing the frame to do ABS and adding the Bambu large bellows feet.
