Hardware and Capabilities

The Bambu Lab P1S is an enclosed 3D printer, making it suited for high-temperature filament printing. Fast prints are standard thanks to the acceleration limit. In this configuration, the P1S comes with the AMS color printing unit that can produce four-color prints, and multiple units can be joined to produce up to 16-color prints.

The printer's enclosed steel and glass construction helps maintain internal temperatures, which is important when working with warp-prone materials such as ABS, ASA, polycarbonate, and polyamides, including nylon. It also supports filaments like PLA, PETG, and flexible TPU. The enclosure features a built-in air filtration system with an activated carbon filter designed to absorb fumes during operation.

Other features include a proprietary 0.4mm nozzle paired with a direct-drive extruder, wireless connectivity via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, a microSD card slot for loading prints locally, and a built-in LED screen for navigating menus and adjusting settings.

The Bambu Lab P1S combo at its discounted price serves as an entry point for anyone looking to engage in 3D printing without compromising on speed, print quality, or multicolor capabilities.
