Expected late 2027
Based on Bambu's prosumer upgrade cycle, a P3S or equivalent successor is not expected before late 2027. No announcement has been made as of October 2026.
| Model/Config | Build Volume | Speed | Multicolor | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| P2S (standalone) | 256×256×256 mm | 600 mm/s | No (AMS sold separately) | Engineering materials, single color. |
| P2S Combo | 256×256×256 mm | 600 mm/s | 4 colors (AMS included) | Best enclosed multicolor prosumer. |
Key strengths
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.
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 in October 2025, it is the definitive Bambu prosumer enclosed printer for engineering materials.
Both are enclosed CoreXY printers in the 256 mm class. The X2D ($649) replaced the X1C in April 2026 and adds a second nozzle for two-material prints and soluble supports, a 65°C active heated chamber, three-stage HEPA filtration, and a 1000 mm/s top speed against the P2S's 600 mm/s. The P2S ($549) is the simpler single-nozzle machine. If you mostly print single-material parts or AMS multicolor, the P2S covers it for $100 less. If you want soluble supports or the actively heated chamber, the X2D is worth the step up.
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.
