I've heard a lot of people recommending the K1 as a similar substitute.

I might check it out too, while I like my X1C...Bambu might be overstaying there welcome in my house.

General consensus that I’ve heard online is that the K1 is nowhere near the same league - cheap unreliable clone would be the most common description.

I think the K2 will be much closer

I own a K2. It's much better than the K1, and pretty close to Bambu in terms of quality (I own several Bambu machines)

And the K2 just came out...
