The Verge's Sean Hollister says he tested the Bambu Lab P2S Combo 3D printer for a year alongside competing machines, logging 6,770 hours of print time across four printers and producing 40,000 whistles for ICE whistleblowers in the process. He names the P2S Combo, currently discounted to $649 through December 1st from its usual $749, as the printer he would personally buy.
Bambu Lab's new H3C 3D printer features nine hot-swappable 'Swaptek' tools, each with its own built-in nozzle and dedicated filament path, making it the company's fastest multicolor printer yet. It ships with a standard 2.85mm tool for soft TPU filament used in 3D-printed shoes, alongside the option to buy a 1.75mm tool for $59, and will support add-on cutting, drawing, embossing, and foil-transfer tools in the future.
Bambu Lab has launched the H3C, a large-format 3D printer equipped with nine separate nozzles that can print different colors, materials and filament sizes simultaneously. The machine starts at $2,500 and ships with Bambu Lab's Automated Material System built in as a required component rather than an optional add-on. A CNET reviewer who has used it for several weeks reports it is large and tall but straightforward to set up with help from a second person.
Bambu Lab has unveiled the H3C, a $2,499 home 3D printer that uses a 'Swaptek' toolchanger system to switch between nine different print heads in six seconds. The printer can load nine spools of filament at once, letting users combine colors, mix rigid and flexible materials, or blend different nozzle sizes within a single print job, though it still deposits only one material at a time.
Bambu Lab has started its Black Friday promotion from October 16 through December 1, offering discounts across its 3D printer lineup, filament and accessories. The flagship H2C printer combo is discounted by up to $300, with additional savings of around 26% on select filament packs.
Best Buy is selling the Bambu Lab P1S 3D printer bundled with its AMS color-printing module for $479.99, down $70 from the usual $549.99 price. The enclosed printer supports high-speed printing up to 20,000 mm/s² acceleration and a 256 x 256 x 256 mm build volume, while the AMS unit enables multicolor printing with up to four colors, expandable to 16 with additional units.
Creality, Elegoo, Bambu Lab, Anycubic and Prusa are running discounts on 3D printers this weekend, with the Bambu Lab A1 Mini falling to $199 and the Creality Ender 3 V3 to $239. Pricier models are also discounted, including the Bambu Lab H2D at $1,399 and the Elegoo Centauri Carbon 2 at $319, alongside deals on resin, filament and accessories.
Bambu Lab has officially teased its H3C tool-changer 3D printer, confirming a launch date of November 3. The machine uses a Vortex-style rack mounted on the front of the chamber holding nine tools, and a short teaser video shows the rack dropping down with tool heads stored above the build plate.
Anycubic's Kobra X Multicolor 3D printer is now available for $299.99 through Amazon's Anycubic store, a $60 discount off its $359 MSRP and the lowest price the printer has reached since launching earlier this year. The deal is available for Prime members for a limited time.
Bambu Lab has publicly teased its first 3D scanner, the S1, with a release planned for November 2026. No specifications have been officially disclosed, but FCC filings reveal a label and drawing showing a 60W power rating, and the device appears to share that rating with SCANOLOGY's 3DeVOK MT Gen2 scanner.
Shenzhen Tuozhu Technology, Bambu Lab’s parent company, has filed a U.S. patent application for a redesigned heatbed that features a monolithic structure with an embedded heating element. The new design intends to provide more uniform heating and better adhesion, potentially addressing common print quality issues reported by users. Visual schematics suggest a machined channel within the bed for the heating element, replacing the traditional laminated heating sheet.
During Amazon's Big Deal Days 2026, significant discounts were announced on various 3D printers, including models from Bambu Lab, Prusa Research, Snapmaker, Anycubic, and Elegoo. Notable deals include the Bambu Lab A1 Mini at $212.90, the Prusa MK4S at $1,078.17, and the Prusa Core One at $1,274.15, among others. These offers are time-limited and encourage quick purchasing decisions.
