Buy the P2S. #1 of 51 FDM printers.
Best enclosed CoreXY under $600 right now. New buyers: this is the answer, skip the P1S comparison. P1S owners: the nozzle system and AMS 2 Pro drying tip the scales toward upgrading, but only if you use those features regularly.

For new buyers, the P2S is recommended without hesitation. Meaningfully better than the P1S in every way.3DTechValley

listicleBest 3D Printer Filaments in 2026: PLA, PETG, ABS & MoreRead the guide The Bambu Lab P2S costs $549 in 2026. It's a FDM printer from Bambu Lab. Prices checked 2026-09-29.
The Bambu Lab P2S has a build volume of 256 x 256 x 256 mm.
The Bambu Lab P2S scores 9/10 for beginner-friendliness. It's a great choice for beginners.
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.
