Our verdict

The P1S is one of the easiest printers to recommend to anyone who wants reliable, fast results without tuning. The enclosure and CoreXY frame let it run ABS and ASA that open-frame machines fight with, the AMS adds genuine multi-colour, and the whole workflow is polished. It costs more than a budget bed-slinger, but it earns it in time saved.

Our score: 4.6 / 5

From my workshop (India)When a job has to come out right the first time — a client batch, a functional part in ABS — this is the kind of machine I reach for. The enclosure makes a real difference in India’s variable room temperatures, and the chamber camera lets me keep an eye on long overnight prints from my phone. Tip: the AMS works best with plastic-spool filament; keep it topped with desiccant in the monsoon.Hands-on testing by the ReviewsTrusted team, who print on both FDM and resin machines in India.

Overview

The Bambu Lab P1S is a fully enclosed CoreXY FDM printer built around convenience. The enclosure traps heat and blocks draughts, which is exactly what higher-temperature materials such as ABS and ASA need, while the rigid CoreXY motion system sustains fast moves with high acceleration and keeps quality steady.

It is designed to work out of the box: a roughly 15-minute setup, automatic bed levelling, a built-in chamber camera for remote monitoring and timelapses, and an activated-carbon filter to cut odours. Add one or more AMS units and it becomes a true multi-colour, multi-material machine — up to sixteen colours — controlled from Bambu Studio or the Bambu Handy app.

Who it’s for

Look elsewhere if: you only ever print small PLA models, want the absolute lowest entry price, or prefer a fully open, heavily tinker-friendly machine.

Key specifications

Performance in practice

In practice the P1S earns its reputation for ‘just working’. Calibration is automatic, the first layer is dependable, and the CoreXY frame holds quality even when you push speed. The enclosure is the headline benefit for Indian users: it keeps ABS and ASA from warping and shields prints from room draughts and air-conditioning.

With the AMS attached, multi-colour and multi-material prints are genuinely hands-off, though you trade some filament to purge between colours. For functional parts, client work and anything that has to be right the first time, it is hard to beat at this level.

Is it worth it?

If your priority is reliable, fast prints with minimal fuss — and especially if you want to print ABS/ASA or multi-colour — the P1S is excellent value for the time it saves. It is the natural upgrade once a budget machine starts feeling limiting.

Frequently asked questions

What is the build volume of the Bambu Lab P1S?

It offers a 256×256×256mm build volume — a generous cube that suits most models, functional parts and batches.

Is the P1S good for ABS and ASA?

Yes. Because it is fully enclosed, it handles higher-temperature materials such as ABS and ASA far better than open-frame printers.

Do I need the AMS?

No — the P1S prints single-colour perfectly well on its own. The AMS is an optional add-on that unlocks multi-colour and multi-material printing.

How fast is the Bambu Lab P1S?

It is rated up to 500 mm/s with very high acceleration, thanks to its rigid CoreXY frame. Real-world speed depends on the model and material.

Is the Bambu Lab P1S available in India?

Yes — it is sold on Amazon.in and through Indian 3D stores. Tap “Buy on Amazon” above for current price and availability.

Any India-specific tips for the P1S?

The enclosure helps with India’s variable temperatures; keep AMS filament topped with desiccant in the monsoon, and use the chamber camera to watch long prints on a UPS-backed supply.
