The H2D is a large, heated chamber printer whose two nozzles cut purge waste in two material prints, and it can add a laser and cutter. It fits serious makers and small businesses that print engineering filaments or want one machine for printing and crafting. Skip it if you mostly print PLA at home, since it costs $1,549 or more and weighs 31 kg.

The P1S is the cheapest enclosed Bambu printer at $399, so it handles ABS and ASA far better than the A1 series. It suits hobbyists who want fast, low fuss prints in more materials, with an AMS combo for color. Skip it if noise matters a lot or you want the newer P2S features, since Tom's Hardware found it noisy.

What reviewers found
Bambu Lab H2D
- Tom's Hardware (Editor's Choice): Called it one of the best printers they had seen. A two color print of 114 parts took 8 h 4 min with about 2.6 g of purge and prime tower waste, versus 6.54 g on a P1P. A Benchy took 21 min 30 s. Source
- TechRadar (4.5/5): Scored 28 of 30 in both print tests. A two filament print took 5 h 27 min versus over 12 hours on an X1C. Noted a small laser work area and an AI camera that can pause prints too readily. Source
Bambu Lab P1S
- Tom's Hardware: Said it hits a sweet spot with affordable CoreXY speed, an enclosure for high temperature printing and simple auto leveling. Downsides were noise, proprietary parts and AMS filament waste. Source
- All3DP: Printed ASA and PC with little corner warping and found auto bed leveling consistent. Criticized the 720p, 0.5 fps camera and some software limits such as blocked microSD access from the slicer. Source
