Price details
- Source
- BambuHub,
- History
- $799 as the P2S Combo with the AMS 2 Pro, Bambu's own US combo price. Bambu's store blocked my reader on Oct 7, so both figures rest on BambuHub's Oct 6 check and launch coverage.
This price is from Oct 6, 2026 and may have changed. Check the retailer before you buy.
Why I’d buy, why I’d skip
Why I’d buy
- Almost everything you print fits inside about 250mm.
- You want an enclosed printer and a path to multi-colour without flagship money.
Why I’d skip
- You print ABS, ASA or nylon most days. Its chamber is passive, not heated.
- You want an open, repairable ecosystem above everything else. That is Prusa’s pitch.
The three specs that matter

- Nozzle and bed
- 300°C nozzle; 110°C bed Source: Bambu Lab
- Chamber
- Enclosed, passive; BambuHub puts it at about 50°C Source: BambuHub; Bambu states no chamber temperature
The rest of what I noted
- Multi-material
- Ships with the AMS 2 Pro in the Combo; BambuHub says up to 20 slots with AMS HT Source: Bambu Lab; slot count per BambuHub
What holds up
- At $799 as the Combo with the AMS 2 Pro, it is the cheapest enclosed multi-colour printer from a big brand in my comparison.
- ADP Industries argues the P2S Combo includes more than an assembled Prusa MK4S at about $929. Its prices are approximate.
- A multi-material path without stepping up to the H2D.
What to weigh
- The chamber is passive. If engineering plastics are routine, pay for an actively heated chamber (H2S, H2D, Prusa CORE One+ or Creality K2 Plus).
- Bambu’s store returned an error to my reader, so the prices here come from BambuHub’s tracker, not the store itself.
- Bambu’s ecosystem is more closed than Prusa’s.
- Promotions move. Compare combo against combo, and base against base.
