Why consider it?

The same nominal volume as the A1, with an enclosure and a different motion system.

What to verify

Check the precise AMS version, adapters and accessories included. Enclosure alone does not establish material suitability.

How much space does it need?

The Bambu Lab P1S measures 389 × 389 × 458 mm (15.3 × 15.3 × 18 in) for a 256 × 256 × 256 mm (10.1 × 10.1 × 10.1 in) build volume: the dashed box is the printer, the solid cube the largest theoretical part, about 24% of the machine’s volume. Add room for the spool or multicolor unit, cables and ventilation.

Which projects is it for?

The P1S is a 256 mm enclosed CoreXY FDM printer, the same nominal volume as the A1 but with a different frame and enclosure. It suits regular ABS or ASA projects, or more generally heavier use than an open-frame machine.

The enclosed chassis stabilizes temperature around the printing part, which mainly helps materials that shrink while cooling rather than PLA, which does not need it.

Materials and configuration

The machine is compatible with PLA, PETG, ABS, and ASA per manufacturer profiles, broader compatibility than the A1 thanks to its enclosure.

AMS compatibility varies by bundle; the included AMS version and required accessories need checking precisely before buying rather than assuming.

What the bundle includes or not

The bundle, multicolor system, and accessories need checking on the chosen listing: not every P1S configuration offers the same AMS version or the same included accessories.

An enclosure alone does not guarantee a given material's compatibility; the exact print profile still needs checking for each targeted filament.

Before buying, compare the P1S's spec sheet and the exact bundle contents listed by the retailer (nozzle, bed, multicolor accessories included or not) rather than relying only on the product photo. Warranty terms and after-sales support can also differ between the manufacturer's own store and a third-party retailer, worth checking before comparing two listings. Because the enclosure adds wiring, fans, and sometimes a camera module, it is also worth confirming what maintenance or replacement parts the manufacturer documents for those components before committing to heavy regular use.

Alternatives to compare

For an open-frame chassis at the same volume, the A1 vs P1S comparison covers that exact gap between the two families. For a version with higher maximum temperatures, the P1S vs P2S comparison helps decide between the two machines.

The enclosed 3D printer guide explains what an enclosure genuinely adds, and the ABS and ASA page covers the settings specific to those materials before printing them on an enclosed machine.

Frequently asked questions

What is the build volume of the Bambu Lab P1S?

Bambu Lab lists a 256 × 256 × 256 mm (10.1 × 10.1 × 10.1 in) build volume (width × depth × height). That is the largest theoretical part size; supports, brim and orientation reduce the usable space.

How big is the Bambu Lab P1S?

According to Bambu Lab, the Bambu Lab P1S measures 389 × 389 × 458 mm (15.3 × 15.3 × 18 in) (width × depth × height) and weighs 13 kg (28.5 lb). Leave extra clearance for the spool, cables and airflow, and more if you add a multicolor unit.

How fast is the Bambu Lab P1S?

Bambu Lab claims a top toolhead speed of 500 mm/s and 20,000 mm/s² acceleration. Real print times depend on the material, the profile and the part; this is a manufacturer figure, not our measurement.

Is the Bambu Lab P1S enclosed?

Yes, it has an enclosed build chamber, which helps with ABS and ASA. Its nozzle reaches 300 °C (572 °F) and its bed 100 °C (212 °F).

What's the difference between the P1S and the A1?

Both share a 256 × 256 × 256 mm nominal volume, but the P1S adds an enclosed chassis that the A1 lacks. The A1 vs P1S comparison covers the gap between the two families for a given use case.

Is the P1S suited to ABS and ASA?

Yes, its enclosed chassis stabilizes temperature around the part, which helps these materials that shrink while cooling, unlike an open-frame machine such as the A1.

Which multicolor system works with the P1S?

AMS compatibility varies by bundle; the included AMS version and required accessories need checking precisely on the listing rather than assumed before buying.
