Only one month and the first nozzle is toast

Discussion

Bought my P1S in November, printed with the included Bambu PLA filament, then started to print with Elegoo PETG, no problems. Kept changing between the two types of filaments work no problems. I was blown away, coming from a K1SE, I found a printer that just prints. Then I printed something with PLA silk for Christmas, then went back to PETG and the filament wouldn't stick to the plate. Even the purge line looked funny. Cleaned the plate, checked all settings once again, though I've printed it before, and still had a bad first layer. I ended up changing the nozzle, and lo and behold, it was printing normally again.

Now, how do I attribute this failure at 90+ hours of printing with only PLA and PETG when other people print for hundreds of hours without a nozzle failure? Not nozzle clog, nozzle failure. I tried cold pull, cleaning filament and the needle. What's funny is that the filament doesn't come straight out of the bottom of the nozzle, but kind of goes sideways at a slight angle. It won't even purge into the poop chute properly, it kind of ends up on the edge instead. So it's like the stainless tip is damaged somehow. This doesn't seem like a printer that just prints...... My have to recant all of my statements about Bambu Labs.
