The Bambu Lab P1P 3D Printer is the smaller and slightly stripped-down version of the company’s X1 Carbon flagship 3D printer. It retains the most important features and functionality while reducing the cost significantly with a price of just $699 USD, making it much more affordable option for a high-speed and high-quality consumer 3D printer. The Bambu Lab P1P inherits the proven kinematics and motion control system of the Bambu Lab Flagship printer, capable of printing with a top speed of 500 mm/s, the acceleration from zero to 500 mm/s in just 0.025 seconds. It features vibration compensation and pressure advance for extra smoothness and to you good quality prints. Features the same direct-drive extruder with all metal hotend and comes with automatic bed levelling, filament run-out sensor, power loss recovery and so on.

The Bambu Lab P1P has the same 256*256*256 mm build volume as its bigger and more expensive brother and although it lacks some of the advanced tech found in the X1 Carbon it still manages to print fast maintaining good quality while offering a better price point for more price conscious customers. There is no big touchscreen display, no LIDAR, no nice-looking enclosure, no AI features or high-res camera etc, but still, you get the most important things and most of all – fast and quality prints and that is what matters the most. And there are quite a few things that you can upgrade or add as optional features, including the ability to 3D print your own custom side panels as the printer does not come with such, unlike the X1 Carbon. The P1P is more upgradable and you can 3D prints some of the upgrades or purchase and replace some of the components that do not comes as good as on the X1 Carbon, making the P1P not only the more affordable, but also the more thinkerer-friendly option.
