The P2S AMS 2 Pro combo is a solid workhorse for PLA, PETG, and other common materials, with the AMS cutting filament waste and avoiding the long purge times that can turn a simple multicolor job into a marathon. It fits best when multicolor printing is occasional rather than constant, since heavy multi-material or frequent color-change work points toward a tool-changer or the newer U1. The price is also close to Bambu Lab's own sale pricing, so it reads more like price parity than a standout bargain. Easy returns add some peace of mind if the printer arrives defective.

Common Questions (4)

  • It matches Bambu's own sale price, so it is more of a price-parity sale than a deep discount. For a solid workhorse printer, the combo is still a good buy, but shoppers comparing it to newer multi-tool options may see it as overpriced.

  • No. The P2S is a strong single-nozzle workhorse for PLA, PETG, and similar materials, but a tool-changer is the better choice if you do lots of multicolor or multi-material prints, especially when there are frequent color changes per layer.

  • If you want to wait for the P3C, expect a much higher price, around $1,200. The P2S combo is the lower-cost option now, while the P3C is being treated as a different tier rather than a similar-priced upgrade.

    omerikoBSoares

  • Yes. Without AMS, the printer has to purge the old filament and reload a new color, which can turn a 1-hour single-color print into a much longer multicolor job. The AMS reduces filament waste and avoids that repeated unload/load cycle.

Waiting for the P3C.
I just got my H3C and I'm also excited to see what the P3C will bring... Was planning on getting in on the infimech mx pro Kickstarter but just too many issues for me so probably going to get a P3C as my backup instead 🤣. Who cares about credit card debt anyway?!

Been waiting for the sale since summer, but now I have analysis paralysis - this, wait for P3C or get the Snapmaker U1.
You know the snapmaker U2 has to be right around the corner at this point too 🤣. I'm honestly really curious what their follow-up will be.

Here's the thing. I'm getting into 3D and my thought process is this, if this is a dinosaur in 3 years because tech has just gotten better, why not wait for a better unit? Every new model will push older and other models cheaper. So, I could get this for $650, the next best printer for slightly more, or just wait for this to drop under $600. Seems like it wouldn't be long to wait. Also, what if I really get into the hobby and end up wanting multicolor? The tech being the norm seems right around the corner.
The good news is that once your hooked, you'll find reasons to justify having 2 printers! This would be amazing for engineering needs, functional prints, and prototyping. Your next printer will likely be a tool changer, and you'll be buying the 2nd or 3rd generation of that technology.

If you really get into the hobby, you will realize that you need a tried and true workhorse and that you only need a multinozzle printer about 5% of the time. Most multicolor prints have single color layers or are split into single color pieces. I have run about 8,000 hours on a p1s and p2s and have only really wished I had a multinozzle printer when I printed a spiderman headphone stand that took 50 hours. They only print faster if you have multiple color changes per layer. Aside from that they print the same.

So unless you have designed something that is multicolored that you know is going to sell like hotcakes, p2s or similar is where its at for pla, petg and similar filaments.

The only printer I wish I would have gotten is the x2d with a dual nozzle for seperate support media.

I have P2S for 7 months. Think it as something that can do decent print with common materials, and do multicolor if you absolutely need it. I recently got a U1, for multicolor printing there is no comparison
