Bambu Lab’s enclosed P1S 3D printer is $349 at Amazon, $50 below list
Bambu Lab’s enclosed P1S 3D printer is $349 at Amazon, putting it $50 below the retailer’s displayed $399 list price. If you have been looking for a machine with a sizeable build area and automatic bed levelling, this is a useful price to compare with other printers.
The important detail is that this offer is for the standalone P1S without the Automatic Material System, or AMS. When I checked, the new printer was sold by Bambu Lab Store and shipped by Amazon, with no coupon or membership needed for the displayed price.
Amazon’s $50 comparison uses its list price; it does not establish what the printer sold for immediately before this offer. A separate tracker recorded the P1S at $349 at Bambu Lab’s US store in October, so I would treat this as a current offer rather than a newly discovered record low.

What you get with the enclosed P1S
Bambu Lab lists a 256 x 256 x 256mm build volume, giving you room for larger pieces than a compact desktop printer. Its enclosed design surrounds the print area, and the company includes automatic bed levelling and a filament runout sensor.

The printer can work with materials including PLA and PETG. Bambu also lists ABS and ASA among its supported materials, but I recommend checking the company’s material guidance and the ventilation requirements for whatever you plan to print before getting started.
Its quick-start guide specifies a maximum toolhead speed of 500mm/s. That is a hardware limit, not a promise that every model will print at that speed. The guide also walks through removing shipping restraints, fitting parts, loading filament and running calibration, so leave time for setup.

The $349 printer does not include the AMS
That missing accessory is worth thinking about before you choose a configuration. A compatible AMS is needed for automatic multicolour filament switching; the standalone printer can still use manual filament changes. Bambu sells a separate P1S Combo with the AMS if that feature matters to you, and it costs more.
The P1S also has a low-frame-rate camera that can be used for monitoring and time-lapses. Bambu lists a 0.4mm stainless-steel nozzle with this model and says carbon- or glass-fibre reinforced filaments are not recommended with the standard setup.
If the enclosed design and build size suit your projects, check the selected option and current price on Amazon’s listing before ordering. It is easy to confuse the standalone P1S with the more expensive AMS Combo in the size selector.
