Bambu Lab P2S AMS Combo vs Bambu Lab P1S Combo with AMS

The P2S is the newer machine and the better pick for most shoppers: a 5-inch touchscreen, AI failure detection, active filament drying and a 300 °C hotend make it more capable and easier to live with. The P1S is the proven workhorse with a much larger review base, and owners consistently report it prints well straight out of the box. Both are enclosed CoreXY-style printers with the AMS for multi-color, so the choice comes down to whether you want the newer features or the long track record.

• Choose the P2S if you want the newer machine with a touchscreen, AI failure detection and built-in filament drying, and you print PLA, PETG and the occasional engineering filament.
• Choose the P1S if you want a proven, widely reviewed printer that handles ABS and ASA well and you don't need a touchscreen or filament drying.
