This means that you can reach higher build area temperatures for more intensive materials like ASA and other filaments that require specific temperatures to print. The fact that this printer is enclosed also means that it is contained within a smaller footprint. So even on this desk, you can see that the AMS plus the printer itself takes up a lot less space.

That’s exactly why the Bambu Lab P1S keeps showing up in serious buying conversations. Bambu says it’s built to get running in about 15 minutes, with an enclosed body, built-in camera, AMS compatibility for multi-color printing, and up to 20,000 mm/s² acceleration.

But they happened to be having an anniversary sale, and I ended up just getting the P1 s because it felt like a great opportunity. And I was apprehensive because I wasn't sure I was going to have the same easy experience that a lot of other people had said, because again, I over thought about it, but it was fine and I've been happy with it ever since

The Bambu Lab P1S scores 9.3 /10 at about $ 549 (price checked Sep 2026). The Original Prusa MK4S scores 9.1 /10 at about $ 899 (price checked Sep 2026). Open, repairable, and built to stay on the bench for years .

And other than a few very, very fine wisps here, you can see it has come out absolutely fantastic on the P1S with zero complaints at all

A Appleinsider Article

The Bambu Lab P1S 3D Printer is about as easy as this hobby can get, with simple setup, one-button printing from an app, auto-leveling, and a four-spool AMS, it'll be hard to stop printing.

Full unboxing, AMS setup, first boot, calibration, firmware update, and day-one prints straight out of the box. No profile surgery. No Z-offset hunt. Just setup → print. If you're buying a P1S in 2026 (often because it's cheaper than the P2S), this is the setup path from sealed box to finished parts

It has been so much fun! We got the Bambu Labs P1S with AMS for multi color prints. Definitely been a learning curve but I’m getting it! Kayla loves it too!

So, that brings to the final conclusion of my impression of owning a P1S as a firsttime 3D uh printer owner. Incredibly easy to use. You don't need to know how to model.

Bambu Lab P1S has become a workhorse choice for professionals and specially those running print farms due to its reliability and solid performance.

So, those are my thoughts on the Bamboo Lab P1S. Ultimately, guys, I still think it's one of the best beginner 3D printers if you can swing it

If your priority is proven reliability at the lowest price, and you do not mind the older interface, it remains an excellent buy.

This is the P1S, and they came off quite easily.

For what I use it for — printing real, useful things that solve real problems in my workspace — it’s been worth every dollar.

The Bamboo Lab P1S and the X1 Carbon are both fantastic printers, but they're missing something that can make printing certain filaments way easier. They don't have active chamber heating and they don't have active internal recirculating air filtration systems.

W WIRED Brad Bourque · reviewer · Jan 2026

If you're after a simple 3D printer and have some projects in mind, the Bambu P1S Combo is a great place to start.

If you're just a general hobbyist who just wants a machine that's relatively well-priced that can print things like tabletop gaming accessories, loads of different bits of terrain, props and stuff like that, this machine is absolutely a workhorse and will still do all of those things incredibly well

Majority of the time you will be fine, it’s a machine so your gonna have issues from time to time.

At almost half the price, the P1S prints just as fast, just as well, and honestly, I don't even really use the premium features of the X1C. Let me show you why the P1S is the better value—and why I regret buying the X1 Carbon.

M MakerViking MakerViking Team · reviewer · Jan 2026

The P1S is the best value for most users.

M Moto Wrenchers Moto Wrenchers · 11.1K subscribers · Jul 2025

And that again goes to show just how easy it is to use this printer. I am so amazed and I can't encourage you enough if you want to get into 3D printing to pick one up for yourself. I know that this one can be quite pricey for someone getting into 3D printing. If you are going to use it as a tool, I would definitely recommend the P1S

This is my Bambu Lab's P1S and after a whole year of printing on it and hundreds of hours, I'm going to give you my opinion on whether or not it's worth it in 2026. Before we get started, let me give you a little background on the P1S. Now, this printer was released by Bambu Lab's on July 13th, 2023 and that makes this relationship destined to be because that's my birthday.

As you can see from my unboxing video, setup was relatively easy and getting the machine to print something high quality was super straightforward thanks to the power of amazing hardware and the equally impressive userfriendliness of the mobile app. Yep, you heard right, the mobile app.

So in conclusion, is this printer still relevant even though we're coming towards 2026? And my answer is yes. It's a well-designed, well-built printer that still outshines a lot of what's on the market

So, when I saw Bamboo Lab P1S and I was like, "This looks like a solid entry-level machine with some good reviews, reasonable pricing, and great community supports behind it." You check all the boxes for me, and 6 months later, I can confidently say it was a great choice. Now, let's break this down into what I like to call my three phases of 3D printing.

I didn't want to go overboard with the modifications or upgrade too much stuff on here, because right out of the box, the P1S is honestly quite solid already.

gain so I know I'm not going to smash it as I walk past with my camera which let's be real was definitely going to happen sooner or later so far I have opted not to update the firmware on the P1S and That's mainly because I like this thing so much, the Panda Touch from Biku. It comes in especially handy for stuff like this when I need to move the print head around and the beard up and down to acce

One of the best things about this machine is how easy it is to set up and start printing right out the box. The user interface is straightforward and intuitive. And thanks to pre-esigned STL files on websites like MakerWorld and Thingiverse, you can start printing really cool things like this 1t tall Mewtwo. Or you can be weird like me and start making real brain rock.

I got to say, it's a pretty surreal experience to see something come to life from absolutely nothing. And yeah, this is a pretty cool little boat piece here. Although a lot of people crap on it. Now that everything is up and running, it is time to move the printer to my new workshop.

I mean, I'm not sure what the expectations are for the P1S as far as print hours is concerned, but I'm at 3,000 hours and I'm going to run this thing until the ground. And uh yeah, I mean, overall, like I said, this one's my favorite

The reason I chose this particular printer was after doing research, watching reviews, I wanted something that seemed to just work out the box without too much fiddling around.

Let's unbox this and let's set it up and let's see how good this Apple of 3D printers really are. All right, I'm going to open this first and let's unbox the P1S. All right, so here's the print out of the box. Got to be careful handling this. There is glass on this and it is a little bit heavy.

So if you're looking for a good 3, get the Bamb P1s. Highly recommend. This is not sponsored, by the way. I got to let y'all know that. All right, guys. If that wasn't hard already enough, we not only have one, but two other spools to put in the AMS. Let's go ahead and open them. Oh, heat, heat. I'll give you a run over in the home. This shows you all your print settings. Go down one.

Now, after thousands of hours of printing, the Bamboo Labs P1S has been absolutely rockolid. And we'd highly recommend this printer

I am very impressed with this machine so far after 3 months. 10 out of 10, without a doubt. I would give it a 10 out of 10 rating

B Brains X Brawn Brains X Brawn · 162 subscribers · Apr 2025

I definitely will say I am pretty happy with how compact this thing is. It is slightly smaller build volume than the X-Maxx 3, but oh my gosh, size-wise, it's a pretty big difference in volume that it takes up. So, pretty happy with how compact it is. Fancy sticker sheet. This out first. Looks like all the small accessories you'll need. And here is the AMS module for multiple colors.

They have been pushing updates to some of their printers that prohibit you from using 3rd party software and you have to work through their cloud service to be able to print.

We did buy Miss Wahlberg about 60 days ago and in the first 4 days I was ready to return her. We were getting a lot of fails, a lot of problems. Everything was not quite working after seeing so many people discuss how wonderful they loved or how wonderful the P1S was.

It's not a perfect machine. You're GOING TO run into problems and annoyances.

S Shotgun Studio Shotgun Studio · 4.4K subscribers · Nov 2025

Obviously, you can save a lot some money and go with the P1S, but you will have to do some upgrades to that, especially the hardened steel extruder and nozzle just because that doesn't come with it. but really don't have to do any upgrades to the P2S. And that was kind of my main thing there was as much as the P1S, I've had no issues with it. Knock on wood.

Good machine but I'll never buy one due to their priority software.

Spoiler alert, I would buy more if I needed them. Currently, I don't. But I have my computer right here with notes on it. And uh just to give you an update on the print hours, if you watch my last video, I have 7,826 print hours. It's more than that since these have been running since that video. And uh my cons have changed a little bit. My pros are basically the same.

The Bambu Lab P1S is on sale right now, and with all these new printers coming out, is it still worth buying, or is it finally starting to feel outdated? So, let’s get a little bit of context first. The P1S came out back in 2023, and it basically blew up because it was the cheaper version of the X1 Carbon.
