Bambu Lab

Bambu Lab P1S review

The default recommendation for most people. Enclosed CoreXY, fast, reliable out of the box, and the AMS makes multi-colour genuinely practical.

Best for: The one printer to buy if you only buy one.

What we like

  • Enclosed — handles ABS, ASA, PC
  • Extremely reliable out of the box
  • Best-in-class multi-colour via AMS
  • Huge community

What we don't

  • No lidar/first-layer camera (that's the X1C)
  • AMS wastes filament on purges
  • Proprietary parts

Specifications are the manufacturer's published figures. "Max speed" is a headline number no printer sustains across a whole part — treat it as a ceiling, not a throughput estimate.
