Which Bambu Lab Printer Should You Buy? Every Model Compared
For a first 3D printer, buy the Bambu Lab A1 mini: $219 at Bambu's typical US price on November 2, 2026, or $329 as the A1 mini Combo with the AMS lite for color printing. The A1 ($299) prints larger parts, the enclosed P2S ($549) handles tougher materials, and the X2D ($649) replaced the X1 Carbon, which Bambu stopped making on March 31, 2026. Bambu's Black Friday sale runs until December 1, and 1 kg of its PLA Basic filament costs $14.99 as a refill or $17.99 on a spool.
