The Bambu Lab X1 Carbon 3D printer is currently one of the fastest and highest-quality consumer 3D printers out there that comes packed with features and technology that make is really interesting to play around with and to get results with your 3D prints. The X1 Carbon is a CoreXY 3D printer with amazingly fast speeds up to 500 mm/s for the tool head movement, 20 m/s acceleration and 32 mm/s flow speed, resulting in really fast 3D printing speeds. And it not only is capable of printing fast, but also with high quality thanks to the technology that was built-in. The secret behind the smoothness of the 3D prints made with the X1 Carbon is in the Active Vibration Compensation (XY), Precise Layer Height (Z) and High Bandwidth Flow Control (E).

The printer has a Micro LIDAR and IMU sensor as well as a powerful quad-core ARM processor in order to process and do adjustment and correction in real time ensuring smoothness and quality of the printing process while maintaining very fast operating speed. It comes with dual automated bed levelling for doubly guaranteed prints, heated build platform, hotend with wide material compatibility and high operating temperature (up to 300 degrees Celcius). There is also an optional AMS system that can be added to easily add multi-material or multi-color printing capabilities and you can even add multiple of these to go from 4 up to 16 colors should you need such functionality and more. Then there is also the custom Bambu Studio software used for slicing and supporting all the advanced functionality that the X1 Carbon 3D printer offers.

You can kind of think about the Bambu Lab X1 Carbon 3D printer as a kind of highly refined and much more user-friendly version of a very good in terms of hardware 3D printer with the Klipper firmware installed on it, but without the need for the user to play around with settings and tweaks to make everything run optimally. In fact, the only drawback that the Bambu Lab X1 Carbon 3D printer has is that it costs $1199 USD at the moment or $1449 USD if you add in the AMS module in the package, but what you get is well worth the price you pay for it. If that is a bit out of your budget you can take a look at the more affordable and slightly stripped-down version – the Bambu Lab P1P 3D Printer that is priced at just $699 USD and retains the most important features and functionality while reducing the cost significantly.
