Why buy each?

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.

Bambu Lab H2D

True dual extrusion โ€” no filament switching

The H2D prints two materials simultaneously from two nozzles. This eliminates purge tower waste and enables true dual-material prints including PVA/PLA soluble support combinations.

Large build volume

350ร—320ร—325 mm gives more print area than the standard 256 mm Bambu models โ€” suited for larger professional parts.

High-temp capable

The H2D supports a wide range of engineering filaments including PA-CF, PETG-CF, and PC with its enclosed chamber.
