Bambu Lab P1S
Bambu Lab’s enclosed CoreXY printer that made fast, enclosed printing affordable.
- Build size: 256 × 256 × 256 mm
- Body: Enclosed
- Price: about £329 (UK)
Our take
Bambu Lab’s enclosed CoreXY printer that made fast, enclosed printing affordable. The same 256 mm plate as the A1, but enclosed, so it handles ABS and ASA and keeps the smell in. It takes the full-size AMS for four colours, or up to 16 with more units. The P2S has now taken its place.
What’s good
- Enclosed: prints ABS and ASA, and keeps fumes and noise in
- Fast CoreXY motion, good for batches
- The full AMS: four colours, up to 16 with more
- Often on sale now the P2S is out
Worth knowing
- The older model: a small screen and a basic camera
- Louder than the A1 when it’s going fast
- Replaced by the P2S, so worth comparing prices
