Anniversary sale: Bambu Lab is offering several of its most popular 3D printers at discounted prices to mark its fourth anniversary. The P2S, CNET’s Editors’ Choice awardee, is $100 off, bringing the price down to $699.
Bambu Lab has become a leading consumer-grade 3D printer company worldwide in just a few short years. It makes sense, their printers are easy to set up and easy to use by just about anybody, regardless of skill level. Several of their machines feature on our best 3D printer list, and the A1 Mini is my favorite gift to give at the holidays.
I’ve been the CNET 3D printing expert for the last four years, and the Bambu Lab machines have impressed me at every turn. The P2S, Bambu Lab’s replacement for the incredible P1S, is my favorite 3D printer at the moment and the one I would recommend snapping up while it is on sale. Go for the combo version if you can, as it includes the AMS color system, allowing you to print with four colors.
The P2S is an Editors’ Choice Award winner for good reason. It is incredibly easy to set up, easy to use and offers some of the best quality you can get in a consumer-based 3D printer. It is the best choice for anyone wanting to start 3D printing or a seasoned veteran wanting to expand their printer count.
The very definition of “high end,” the H2C offers five different material nozzles and seven hotends. Using a hot swappable nozzle system, the H2C allows you to combine materials in ways that haven’t been possible before. Flexible materials can be woven into a solid with very little effort. It’s pricey, but if you’re looking to push the edge of what’s possible this is a good choice.
I’ve said it a thousand times, and I’ll say it again: the Bambu Lab A1 Mini is the perfect gift. At $309, it can be given as a main birthday or holiday gift, and it will delight anyone who receives it. Setup is a breeze, and the learning curve on using it may as well be flat; it’s that easy. Everyone should own one of these little machines. The Mini Combo includes the AMS lite which allows you to print four colors.

In my review of the best 3D printers, I found the Snapmaker U1 3D printer to be the best multi-tool head option. One of the best parts about this printer is how little waste it produces while allowing you to print four colors. The Snapmaker U1 is typically priced at $999, but right now it’s down to just $849, saving you a sweet $150.
