How It Scores
Pros
- +Quick-swap nozzle: no tools, no waiting for cool-down, no thread damage from hot-tightening
- +1080p AI camera pauses the print when it detects layer failures, not just notifies you
- +AMS 2 Pro dries filament while printing so you don't need a separate drybox for standard materials
- +5-inch touchscreen is large enough to actually use without squinting at a 2-inch screen
Cons
- −No LiDAR sensor: that capability is still exclusive to the X-series
- −P1S owners have no trade-in path; the upgrade cost is the full $549
- −Multi-color purges still waste filament; purge blocks help but don't fix the root issue
- −The $799 Combo version gets close enough to the H2D's price that a comparison is warranted
What Owners Say
“The quick nozzle swap makes me jealous even as an X1C owner.”
— r/BambuLab
“Goldilocks gets a glow up. The P2S refreshes a best seller with meaningful upgrades.”
— Tom's Hardware
“For new buyers, the P2S is recommended without hesitation. Meaningfully better than the P1S in every way.”
— 3DTechValley
