What customers say
The Bambu Lab P1S is highly praised for its exceptional speed and out-of-the-box reliability, significantly cutting down on troubleshooting time. Its enclosed design is a major benefit, allowing users to successfully print engineering materials like ABS and ASA, making it a versatile workhorse. Reviewers consistently highlight the seamless integration with Bambu Studio and the transformative experience offered by the optional Automatic Material System for multi-material jobs. Many consider the P1S the perfect balance in the lineup, delivering near flagship performance at a more accessible price point. While some advanced features are missing, the overall consensus is that the P1S provides a robust and consistent printing experience that strongly justifies its value for both new and experienced users.
Know before you buy
The P1S is often sold as a standalone unit, so you should verify if your specific bundle includes the AMS. If it is not included, the printer is fully compatible and ready for a plug-and-play installation whenever you decide to add it.
The P1S utilizes the Bambu Lab AMS to automatically switch between different filaments during the print process. By connecting the AMS, the printer can manage up to four spools at once, or up to 16 colors if you daisy-chain multiple AMS units together.
Yes, the P1S is designed for a plug-and-play experience that minimizes the need for manual calibration. Its automated features and reliable FDM technology make it a very accessible choice for those just starting out.
Because the P1S prints at high speeds, it is important to keep the carbon rods clean and ensure the belts remain properly tensioned. Bambu Lab provides clear maintenance schedules in their software to help you keep the machine running smoothly.
Yes, the P1S can handle flexible filaments like TPU. However, for the best results, it is recommended to load flexible materials directly into the printer rather than through the AMS unit, as the long Bowden tubes in the AMS can sometimes cause feeding issues with soft plastics.
The P1S is engineered to maintain high precision even at significantly higher speeds than traditional printers. By utilizing advanced vibration compensation and motion control, it delivers clean, accurate prints without the typical quality trade-offs usually associated with fast printing.
