Bambu Lab
Bambu Lab X1 Carbon review
The P1S plus lidar first-layer scanning, spaghetti detection, a carbon-capable hotend and a colour touchscreen. Buy it for the monitoring, not the speed.
Best for: People running unattended print farms or selling prints.
What we like
- Lidar first-layer verification
- Failure detection via camera
- Carbon-fibre filament ready
- Premium touchscreen UI
What we don't
- Big premium over the P1S
- Same build volume as the P1S
- Repairs are dealer-dependent

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.
