Active chamber temperature control enables reliable ABS, ASA, PA, and PC printing without warping.
500 mm/s print speed with Bambu's vibration compensation delivers fast, accurate prints.
With the P2S released, P1S prices are at their lowest — an opportunity for budget-conscious buyers.
Removes 99% of particulates and VOCs generated during printing. One of the strongest air filtration systems in the consumer printer category.
Nozzles snap in and out without tools or heating. Swapping between 0.25, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8mm nozzles takes seconds — ideal for classrooms and multi-user environments.
