Add an AMS HT only if you print materials that need more heat than the 2 Pro can deliver. The original AMS only makes sense if you find it discounted and you print PLA and PETG. Each unit is a feeder, a sealed storage box, and in two cases a dryer. For functional parts, the dryer matters more than the color count. ...

It went on sale November 3, 2026, at $2,499 in the US, and that price includes the AMS 3H filament system. It fixes the biggest problem with the H2C’s hotend swapping, which is the single shared filament path. It does not fully remove purge, and its chamber is no hotter than the Creator 5 Pro’s. For functional multi-material parts, it wins on build volume and tool count, not on purge waste. ...

Short version: my Bambu Lab P1S has well over 1,000 hours of print time on it, and it hasn’t had a single significant issue. It’s been a great deal from day one, and at around $399 now (it’s dipped as low as $349 on sale this fall, down from a $699 launch price), it’s an even better one. The P2S is the newer printer, but for most people the P1S is still the one I’d buy. ...

Bambu’s P1S pricing has stopped pretending to be a sale. The $699 MSRP is still printed on the product page with a line through it, but the actual price has been $399 through Black Friday, New Year’s, June, and again right now. That’s the price. The strikethrough is decoration. I’ve got about 1,200 hours on my own P1S at this point and it’s still printing like it did in week one. That’s worth stating up front, because it colors everything below: I’m not comparing spec sheets from the outside, and I’m also not neutral. The machine earned its keep. ...

If you’ve been loosely following Bambu Lab news, you already know they’ve been on a tear. In the span of about a year, they released multiple new machines, discontinued their flagship X1 Carbon, and just this week dropped a brand-new printer that undercut everyone’s price expectations. It’s a lot to keep up with — so here’s a breakdown of what’s actually out there right now and what each machine is trying to do. ...

I’m Jared — an engineer who likes to tinker. I mostly print practical stuff: bike parts, things for my kids, fixes around the house, desk organization, and the occasional electromechanical project. Here’s what I’m running. Printer Bambu Lab P1S with AMS I’ve had it for over a year and it’s been solid. Coming from the tinkering side of the hobby, the P1S felt almost too easy at first — but I’ve learned to appreciate just hitting print and having it work. ...
