Expected mid-2026
Bambu typically refreshes prosumer models every 9-12 months. A P3S or equivalent is expected in 2026 with improved chamber temperature control and possibly dual extrusion.
| Model/Config | Build Volume | Speed | Multicolor | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| P2S (standalone) | 256×256×256 mm | 500 mm/s | No (AMS sold separately) | Engineering materials, single color. |
| P2S Combo | 256×256×256 mm | 500 mm/s | 4 colors (AMS included) | Best enclosed multicolor prosumer. |
The Bambu Lab P2S is the successor to the P1S, offering an improved sealed enclosure with better chamber temperature management, enhanced vibration compensation, and Bambu's latest hotend. Released mid-2025, it is the definitive Bambu prosumer enclosed printer for engineering materials.
The P2S enclosure maintains a more consistent chamber temperature over the P1S, reducing warping on long ABS and PA prints.
PLA through PC — the P2S handles the entire engineering filament spectrum with reliable results.
The P-series CoreXY enclosure design strikes the best balance of price, speed, and material capability in Bambu's lineup.
Serious makers and prosumers who need enclosed printing for ABS, ASA, PA, PA-CF, and PC — and want Bambu's plug-and-play experience at a prosumer price.
The P2S and X1C share the same 256×256×256 mm build volume and CoreXY motion. The X1C adds LiDAR-based real-time layer scanning, a built-in camera with AI failure detection, and a more premium build quality. If those features matter, pay the premium for the X1C. For most makers, the P2S delivers 90% of the capability at a lower cost.
Yes — the P2S works with the full AMS for 4-color filament switching. The Combo bundle includes the AMS.
Yes. The enclosed chamber and high-temperature hotend make the P2S one of the most reliable consumer printers for PA-CF and PC. Use a steel or hardened nozzle for carbon-filled filaments.
