The P1S has been a really well-regarded mannequin within the Bambu Lab 3D printing neighborhood for years now, because it provides a whole lot of utility at an inexpensive value. It’s a well-liked workhorse mannequin for individuals who need functionality with out a whole lot of frills. Nevertheless it has been available on the market for nicely over two years and Bambu has lately been teasing the discharge of a brand new P2S mannequin. Now the wait is over and we’ve acquired the entire particulars to share with you.
The Bambu Lab P2S is a direct successor to the P1S, nevertheless it isn’t a alternative. Bambu Lab tells us that they’ll proceed to promote and assist the P1S after the launch of the P2S. The worth of the P2S isn’t set in stone but, nevertheless it needs to be just like the present $549 P1S value. That may indicate that we are able to count on to see a value drop on the P1S.
The P2S may have the identical 256×256×256mm construct quantity because the P1S and outwardly, it seems very related. Nevertheless it has a number of enhancements (a lot of them borrowed from the H2 sequence) that ought to make it a big improve in comparison with the P1S:
New touchscreen
The P1S has a primary monochrome LCD with a couple of management buttons. The P2S may have a big 5” full-color touchscreen with Bambu’s 2ndgeneration consumer interface, just like the H2 sequence. That interface is excellent, so this will probably be good enchancment.
Adaptive airflow
Just like the H2 sequence, the P2S may have adaptive airflow capabilities to tug in cool outdoors air or recirculate heat inside air (by means of a filter) as vital to keep up an optimum chamber temperature. There isn’t any energetic heating ingredient, however the warmth from the construct plate and sizzling finish will deliver the chamber as much as temperatures appropriate for the filament in use.
Higher digital camera and AI
The P2S will get a high-quality 1080p digital camera and an AI system, like that on the H2 sequence, to detect failures corresponding to spaghetti, nozzle blobs, and air printing. That nicer digital camera may even enable for higher timelapses and dwell video feeds.
New extruder and sizzling finish
The P2S is getting a stronger extruder that may push filament with extra drive and consistency at excessive movement charges. It should additionally get a quick-swap sizzling finish, just like the A1 and H2 sequence, that works with a single clip—no fussing with screws or wire connectors.
AMS 2 Professional combo
The AMS 2 Professional is already appropriate with the P1S, however the P2S will get it as commonplace within the combo bundle. In comparison with the unique AMS, the AMS 2 Professional provides improved filament change speeds and energetic drying.
Bambu Lab has tentatively priced the P2S at $549 USD, or $799 for the combo with an AMS 2 Professional. Tariffs could have an effect on that and the discharge date is not but identified.
