Bambu Lab A2L
Large bed Bambu bed slinger with optional 4 color AMS Lite
Researched by Riley Hart · updated Nov 3, 2026
Is the Bambu Lab A2L worth it? The A2L is a bigger, more capable take on the popular A1, with a 330 x 320 mm bed and an optional cutter and pen plotter. It costs $439 as of Nov 4, 2026, and FauxHammer scored it 4/5.
The A2L is a bigger, more capable take on the popular A1, with a 330 x 320 mm bed and an optional cutter and pen plotter. Tom's Hardware gave it an Editor's Choice for family makers and crafters. It needs a sturdy table, and multi color prints waste filament.
Best for: families and crafters who want large PLA prints and easy 4 color printing. Skip if: you want to print ABS or ASA, or only have a light table.

What independent reviewers found
- Editor's Choice. A Flexi panda took 2 h 40 min in one color and 6 h 46 min in three colors. A TPU 95A bag printed in 7 h 9 min. A PETG spinner failed near 95% due to a thin base. The AMS Lite vibrated off an IKEA Lack table after 45 minutes.
- Tom's Hardware
- Called it a great hobby printer with good print quality for its class, but found the live camera feed about 1 frame per second and no ABS or ASA profile at test time.
