⚖️ Expert Verdict

The Bambu Lab P1S is the logical and superior evolution of the P1P. By adding a full enclosure and improved cooling, the P1S enables high-quality printing with temperature-sensitive materials like ABS and ASA, which often struggle on the open-frame P1P. The P1S also provides a more polished look and quieter operation. For a small price difference, the P1S is the clear winner for providing a more versatile, professional-grade enclosed experience that can grow with your material needs and project complexity.

What Owners Are Saying?

Bambu Lab P1S

Oscar
"The enclosure is proper sorted. Printing ABS in my garden shed now with zero warping. Absolute unit."

Mia T.
"Strategic choice over the X1C. You get nearly all the performance for significantly less quid. The AMS is a must-have if you want to do any serious multi-material work."

William
"Setup was a doddle."

Grace S.
"Brilliant hardware, but the fan noise is right annoying if you're working in the same room. I’ve had to build a sound-dampening cabinet just to keep my sanity during the day."

Bambu Lab P1P

Freddie
"Cheapest way into the Bambu ecosystem. Speed is mind-blowing. Printed a ream of PLA already with zero fails. If you don't need the enclosure, this is the one."

Sienna
"Great ROI. Camera is a bit rubbish though."

Jude B.
"Fast as you like, but I wish the frame was a bit more rigid. It can rattle a bit on the faster accelerations."
