Why buy each?

Bambu Lab H2S

Improved over H2D

The H2S adds better high-speed cooling and more consistent layer adhesion at 600 mm/s, addressing key H2D pain points.

No waste purging needed

Dual-nozzle printing eliminates the purge tower required by filament-switching systems โ€” faster prints, less wasted filament.

Soluble support capability

Print PLA + PVA or ABS + HIPS combinations for complex geometries that would be impossible with a single material.

Bambu Lab P1S

Full enclosure with chamber heating

Active chamber temperature control enables reliable ABS, ASA, PA, and PC printing without warping.

CoreXY speed and precision

500 mm/s print speed with Bambu's vibration compensation delivers fast, accurate prints.

Now at clearance prices

With the P2S released, P1S prices are at their lowest โ€” an opportunity for budget-conscious buyers.
