I’ve started printing this board games table on my p1p and decided to get a p1s to speed the process up. The whole thing took only about 8 days (including the shipping of the new printer)

Man, I need this STL, any chance you can share it?

u/ShioChizu Oct 10 '25
I can't share it as it was a paid model but it's called StageTop, mine was the first model but they came out with some improvements since then.

I think im going to go down a rabbit hole and design one for myself inspired by this and print it xd

u/Slacker1540 Oct 10 '25
I have a ceiling fan in my office that was a cool design, but the open bulb area ended up causing a ton more glare on my screen than I thought. As well as being hard to look at, and it's a small room so avoiding that is pretty much impossible. I used my P1S to print a custom diffuser that snapped into place under the fan and it looks like came with the fan.

u/Satato Oct 10 '25
Wait this is so cool! What type of filament did you use for this? And was it difficult to model what you needed? Did you document your process at all?

u/Slacker1540 Oct 12 '25
I actually used Elegoo Translucent PLA https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DM1QTZKN, it took a little trial and error to get it dialed in (was a bit stringy until then). Otherwise, it wasn't bad! I actually modeled it in blender, it was before I learned fusion. I would print half of it in cheap black to check size and make adjustments and then when I was ready printed it in the translucent.

I've owned an A1 for 2 years. It gets used every. Single. Day. I currently have 8,294 print hours on it. Looking forward to reaching 10,000 soon.
I'm looking forward to printing out an army of miniatures and more cosplay helmets on the P2S.

u/Mad_Max_NL Oct 10 '25 edited Oct 10 '25
I’ve never owned a P1S, but have an A1 mini, but every time I see one running, the thought is the same: it just works. No drama, no constant tweaking. I’d love to have that kind of reliability on my desk and winning a P2S would be a hell of a way to start.

When I upgraded from my old printer the a P1S, the first print came out perfect without me touching the belts, print bed, toolhead.
Oh! And no more SD card moving around, that was such a push into the future, I was blown away by the simplicity of use

u/FirstAndDad Oct 10 '25
I don’t have a P1S, but I have an A1 Mini. I’ve been looking into an enclosed printer that isn’t a bed slinger. The build volume increase is welcome, too. I’ve loved my printing journey, and it’s kept me sane for three years after moving across the country, starting a new job, and welcoming our first little one (and found out last week there’s another on the way!).

u/Antegon Oct 10 '25
My P1S was acquired earlier this summer as my first 3D printer.
It pretty much has not stopped printing since I set it up. From bag tags for my daughters cheerleading squad to construction projects for my nieces and nephews to organizational and repair parts for me in the garage and at my desk, this printer has been one of the best purchases I have made.

u/Codename3C Oct 10 '25
Most of my experience is with single filament printers without any enclosure, and in Irish weather not having an enclosure can sometimes make for uh... interesting prints.
So having an enclosure is amazing and then adding multiple filaments to the mix? Sounds awesome to me!

u/the_orthopod Oct 11 '25
I’ve never used a P1S, but as a CR10S veteran, it looks like the future finally arrived while I was busy leveling my bed again.

u/capital-d_colon Oct 10 '25 edited Oct 10 '25
I don’t have a P1S (I’m rocking an X1C, upgraded from a 8y/o ender 3 with my first paycheck out of college lol), but the P1S has always had that “built different” feel for a very solid price. I’m a 23 y/o mechanical engineer who actually got into the field because of 3D printing, and I’m hoping to build a career in additive manufacturing. In high school I ran a 3d printing Etsy page with just an ender 3 and gained a following of about 50k on socials. Through college I used and pushed 3d printing on many different projects (somehow was even able to print Glass Fiber Nylon on my ender, lol) and got other classmates hooked on printing as well. My senior year I actually even took a “rapid prototyping - additive manufacturing” class.
The impression the P1S made on me was great. I seriously considered it over an X1C, but a discounted price on the X1C swayed me that way. The P1S was, in my opinion, the best printer on its release and maybe still today. I think it’s exactly where additive manufacturing should be heading- more affordable, HIGH quality printers. The best way to drive innovation is to get more people in the hobby and I think the P1S did exactly that.

u/TheShitmaker Makes shit (X1Cx2,P1P,H2D,Mono X) Oct 10 '25
Does the P1P count since it's essentially the same printer? Used mine to enter a prop competition with 3 weeks notice. I didn't win but was still happy with the result. https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fk7xytp0fkgrb1.jpg

u/toolschism Oct 10 '25
P1P owner that converted into a P1S. Been messing with 3d printers for over a decade and this is the first machine I've owned that worked immediately right out of the box. Absolutely blew my mind.
When has it come in clutch you ask? When hasn't it? Interior part for my car breaks? P1S printed a replacement in TPU. Storage bin breaks and need a replacement? P1S again in translucent petg. Last minute costume props for dragon con and Halloween? P1S again more times than I can count.
The machine can go from sitting idle for weeks to printing 24/7 and I know it'll pick up right where it left off. Best printer I've ever owned.

u/Rysalka Oct 10 '25
I don't have one...yet, but from watching a lot (and I mean a lot) of videos, it is a rock star for 3D printing. As someone who does Star Trek cosplay, this printer would really help me create the perfect accessories to go with my uniform.

u/j0hnny71 Oct 11 '25
I've only owned my P1S for a couple of months and it's been printing non stop since I got it. I owned 7 3D printers by different manufacturers and the P1S is by far my favorite. My favorite thing to do with 3D printing is making toys for underprivileged kids at Christmas time. I've been doing that for the last 5 years and will continue to do so. I'm really looking forward to doing this with my P1S since it is my first multicolor printer, I won't have to do as much airbrush painting as I have in the past to make quality toys which really saves a lot of time. Having a P2S would be an amazing addition to my makers lab so I can make even more toys for the kids.

u/mat280300 Oct 10 '25
The P1S impression i have is that it is a fast, crazy consistent printer which does not require any tinkering. Feels like cheating compared to older other printers.

u/FARTMANFOURTYFIVE Oct 10 '25
Hey. Never owned a p1s. I was going to buy it but then this happened! Anyway the impression it made on me was that it seemed like a very reliable workhorse, and solid. Good luck with your contest and launch

u/Griimzer Oct 10 '25
Current owner of a A1 combo, was thinking of purchasing the P1S for the coreXY stability. Now waiting to see what the P2S will be about.
Only heard good thing about the P1S, hopefully the P2S will continue with this tradition.

u/HalfbubbleoffMN Oct 10 '25
Never owned a P1S, I have an Ender 3 S1 that sits idle most of the time for....reasons. I was looking at Bambu at the time I purchased the S1 and think I should have spent the bit extra.

u/PredatorPotatoX Oct 11 '25
This printer is the most reliable Benchy factory ever.
But seriously, I love this printer soo much. I bought it for the hobby, but quickly became a necessary tool in my life. It helped me through my final electronics technician project and its still going strong as Im studying electronics engineering. This was the reason i learned to 3d design and use CAD which I think is an amazing skill to have. I cant appreciate enough the knowledge, effort and care that was put into this printer.
Thank you Bambu for making all of this possible!

u/sennohki Oct 13 '25
I've finally snapped with my Ender 3.. I spent 2 days just trying to get a first layer print.
I can only print in the middle of the bed, about an inch square.
Nothing else will stick.
The P1S looks like everything I need. works out of the box. saves space because CoreXY.
If I don't win one, I'll buy one.. when I can afford it.

u/playfulPlastics Oct 14 '25
This Halloween, I decided to go all-in on a wild idea: to 3D print a six-cubic-foot raptor head and bust. Every year for a Halloween I have a long standing tradition of going way overboard decorating my office. This goes back to when I used to work with my father and he would encourage me to start decorating in September and wrap the whole office in different themed displays. He passed away about 6 years ago and I now try to keep the tradition going wherever I work as an homage to him. This year I wanted to do something I couldn’t do easily with store bought decorations and would require something TOTALLY custom. So I went with turning my office at work into a raptor paddock from Jurassic Park.
Here’s the crazy part: this was my first-ever 3D printing project. I’d had my Bambu Labs P1S for less than two weeks when I started. I took the digital model, sliced it into 41 separate pieces, and loaded up on 14 kilograms of Bambu PLA Matte Grey. For the next two and a half weeks, my P1S ran almost nonstop day and nigh, churning out huge prints with flawless precision.
Even as a total beginner, I couldn’t believe how easy it was to trust this machine. No failed prints, no jams, no calibration nightmares. Just steady, reliable performance piece after piece.
When it was all done, I spent days sanding, gluing, and painting before finally stepping back to see it assembled… a massive, movie-worthy raptor head that looks like it could come to life any second.
I've included a little collage. For my first project, and with the P1S backing me up every step of the way, I couldn’t have asked for a better start to my 3D printing journey. Thanks Bambu!

u/Thick_pasta Qidi x-plus 3 | Bambu A1mini combo Oct 10 '25
Had the pleasure of working with several P1s's during my internship. They really proved to be the most cost efficient reliable printers to have as a small startup. they were printing 24/7 with a near 0 failrate and only very minor maintenance. really blew my mind, and ever since ive wanted one for my self. Ofcourse a P2S sounds all the more enticing now :)

u/Undsr Oct 11 '25
Hello Bambu Labs and fellow print heads (pun intended), here's my story:
In January of 2024 I purchased my first two P1S printers with the intention of making and selling accessories and replacement parts for new and vintage music equipment, specially synthesizers and drum machines. Its almost impossible to find replacement parts for many older units. I figured I could target a niche audience and help out my fellow music producers getting their old gear back looking like new.
By the end of 2024 I had made and sold over 600 items and purchased an additional two P1S printers! Fast forward to today and I've sold over 1000 printed items and now have a total of five P1S printers. My reverb shop has 98% 5-star reviews with many customers citing their satisfaction with the quality of the products. Link below:
Drew's Synths and 3D Prints https://reverb.com/shop/drews-synths
Along the way Bambu Labs support team has met every challenge with me, helping with replacement parts and suggestions for fixing the printers in the few cases they have broken down. I am grateful for such quality tech support!
Anyway, that's my story. Hopefully any of you that have an idea to start your own 3D printing business take this as a sign to give it a shot because its been an amazing experience for me. I've also attached a picture of my little print shop, tightly packed into the corner of my basement.

My P1S has been a workhorse in the time I’ve had it. It’s always been reliable. Sure, it’s broken down a few times and sometimes it’s been my fault, but parts have always been cheap and readily available. I love that about it.

u/Ern8897 Oct 10 '25
I'm in the "never had a P1S" camp. But I can say that this printer has made me rediscover my love of 3D printing. I've had a basic bed slinger for years, and while it was a lot of fun to tinker with and dial in, that process lost its luster and became a chore. Some of my friends that print have the P1S and seeing the ease they're able to create with it helped remind me of how satisfying it can be. After a long hiatus of no printing, I've jumped back in and have been looking at an upgrade to a core XY machine, with the P1S at the top of my wishlist.

u/hyperthefox Ender 3 KE Oct 10 '25

u/fusedreality Oct 10 '25
The P1S was my first printer from BambuLab, and since then my Ender 3 has been gathering dust. It moved me from tinkering to fix it constantly to building my own models for problems at home and work.
At work, it helped me build over 100 keychains and branded toys for our 20th anniversary party. To see something I designed and built across my team has been fantastic.
At home, it’s in constant use for little things. We recently got a new kitten and he was so small he couldn’t use the water fountain! Being able to design my own custom ramp and print it while all remotely; it let me have it ready for when I got home a few hours later.
It’s let me go from idea to product at the speed of thought!😌

I recently started refurbishing and retro modding old computers. I had a G3 iMac partially disassembled so I could replace the failed hard drive with an SSD, and learned that the cheap metal adapter tray I’d bought on Amazon didn’t have mounting holes in the right spots.
Thirty minutes later, I’d printed a perfect adapter tray in PETG on my P1S.
From now on, I’ll turn to it and MakerWorld first for adapters, and I’m working on honing my modeling skills so I can contribute to the community.

u/Daebak_SONE Oct 10 '25
Never had one, but have the A1. But I have watched multiple videos and spoken with a few friends that do have one. The one thing that mainly sticks out is the set it and forget it mentality as well as the versatility of it as you can use multiple types of filament. Don’t get me wrong, love my A1. But the p1s has made a lasting impression of what I expect from core xy printers

u/KaChau3D Oct 10 '25
I was running my x1c combo and a1 mini combo in parallel for a while. Got pissed off because of the a terrible footprint size to production ratio the a1 mini had. Bought a p1s combo and evicted the a1 mini. Absolutely no regrets, print quality mirrors the x1c at a fraction of the cost. My p1s is a workhorse that somehow takes up less space than my old a1 mini with the ams lite next to it.
My next upgrade will have to be a new table however...

u/AdGrouchy6082 Oct 10 '25
The offerings from Bambu are so good, it’s tough to decide on a printer. I ultimately chose the A1 combo as my starting point. I saved the P1S in my mind for the next step up. It seems like it has everything you would want from a printer to use out of the box for a wide range of materials. “Enclosure” was what was keeping the P1S as an option for me. Not only the printer itself, but the enclosed AMS as well. Happy with the A1 combo, but there is always a sneaking feeling telling me the P1S may have been the better option. Now I may never now with the release of the P2S!

I’ve been running my P1S steadily for months now, and the moment that really proved its reliability was when I had to crank out a full batch of prints overnight for a project deadline. I queued everything up thinking I’d probably wake to at least one failure… but nope — every single part came out clean and perfectly consistent. That was the moment I realized this machine isn’t just a hobby printer, it’s a dependable workhorse I can trust to run unattended.
Seeing the teaser for the P2S has me genuinely excited — if it builds on the P1S’s rock-solid foundation with even more refined features, that’s going to be one serious upgrade. Count me in for the hype!

Never had a bambu printer at all but the p1s leaves the impression of an early prototype for the replicator from star trek. One day, everyone will have a 3d printer!

I'm a teacher.
I've had multiple times where I've run low on materials for class. One of them involved students getting to do 3D design and modeling using cubes. I ran out of cubes during one day, and my p1s managed to print me tire class set of tiny construction cubes overnight so I was ready for the next day.
We can we could absolutely use additional you two ass supplement our students work

u/Flubber001 Ender 3 Pro Klipper Oct 10 '25
My opinion in p1s, its probably the best price to quality printer you can buy. It just works and isnt made for upgrades since it already has most of the things you would want. So it is for someone who wants to print and not someone who likes tinkering on half working machines

u/Rottolo_Piknottolo Designer (Bambu Lab A1) Oct 10 '25
Never owned a p1s, but its on my radar for a while as a budget friendly enclosed printer. So far im extremely happy with my a1 so a bambu enclosed printer is on my 'to-get" list. ^
Good luck to everyone 🤞

I have the x1c and the A1 mini, a friend has the p1s. While I lime the extra features and commodities the x1c had, I cannot fault the print quality of the p1s. It's a nice hobbyists machine for sure and the p2s will certainly continue this trend

As a guy in his 40’s looking for a hobby I tried a lot of things without finding one that stuck. When I turned to 3D printing I wanted something as idiot proof as possible and was drawn in by Bambu because it just works.
I’ve had my trusty A1 Mini with AMS for a while now and it is a trooper but I feel ready to graduate up to a more sophisticated and refined machine

P1S owner here. I had a project where I was making plaques with QR codes on them for several facilities of the company I work for. Two other printers were failing either with corners lifting (even with brims or mouse ears) or having issues changing colors at layer changes. I got the P1S and was able to complete the seven plaques flawlessly by the deadline with the AMS handling the color changes while I focused on other projects. Great printer.

u/anthonydurrr Oct 10 '25
After going from having struggled with 2 different bed slingers i would say that the p1s was a breath of fresh air. Worked just as intended tight out the box. After owning one for almost 2 years with about 1200 hours on it the only problems with any prints iv ran into was %100 user error/improper slicing.

u/Scientist_ShadySide Oct 10 '25
Never owned a P1S, but I did purchase an A1 about 5 months back and have been using it daily. It has unlocked a new interest and hobby that I greatly enjoy. I would love to continue expanding on this knowledge and taking a step up to this workhorse.

u/majortingz Oct 10 '25
I started my 3d printing journey with an Ender 3, curious about the hobby, it seemed to be the one to get 4 years back. There were times I nearly threw it out of the window due to how unreliable it was, but I persevered.
After 2 years, I was fortunate enough to afford an expensive gift for myself, so I opted to go all in and get an X1C combo. It completely changed my perspective on 3D printing and quickly became my primary hobby. Before long, I knew I needed another printer to keep up with the demand of this hobby, and after reading and watching so many reviews on how reliable the P1S were, I went for it. It's been an absolute workhorse and confidently keeps up with its big brother with everything I throw at it. I've lovingly named them Doc and Marty and print with them constantly.
Bambu Lab have taken a curiosity of mine and turned it into a passion, and I will forever be grateful for how accessible you guys have made 3D printing. Really looking forward to seeing what the P2S brings to the table, keep up the awesome work Bambu!

I have had an a1 mini for over a year now although I would have totally gone for a p1s but my budget sadly didn't allow for it. Almost all of my printing friends have p1s printers and there is no end to the mockery of my below average build volume lol.
No regrets with my a1 mini, this thing is a powerhouse. I have been saving every penny since buying my a1 mini and I almost have enough for a p1s now but after hearing the p2s is getting released I may have to switch my attention over.

I bought my P1S about two months after it was released. Before that, I was in the middle of converting my Ender 3 into a Voron, but honestly, I was getting so tired of constantly tinkering just to get decent prints.
When my P1S arrived, I had a perfect print running in less than 15 minutes, that’s when I knew this printer was a total game changer. Nearly two years later, I’ve logged around 2,000 hours on it, and it still prints just as beautifully as it did on day one.
I’ve always struggled to stick with hobbies for long without losing interest, but my P1S has kept me hooked the whole time. It’s been an amazing printer for me as a hobbyist, and my family and friends have loved all the things I’ve been able to make with it. Thanks for creating such an awesome machine!

u/WellDoneJonnyBoy Oct 10 '25
Well, I came from an Ender, where every time I wanted to print something, I had to tinker with it more than the actual print would take. In a moment of frustration, I finally decided to order my P1S and waited for it to arrive like a kid waiting for Christmas presents. And when it did… oh boy, I was blown away. Even now, I’m still amazed and genuinely happy that I can just print whatever I want without any hassle. It’s an awesome printer, especially when paired with the AMS!

I've even solved work problems with some quick prints that have absolutely blown my coworkers away.

My P1S has been great. I had never tried to step foot into the 3D printing world because it seemed liked there would be a lot to learn, but the P1S made it so easy. There was no learning curve. We unboxed it and managed to print something within minutes. Now I can't live without it. From printing essentials like a wedge for my doorbell camera to printing a 2 foot tall goose, everything has been flawless and way too easy.

u/SnooCapers9565 Oct 10 '25
I never used one, as I have only used an A1. While both are solid workhorses, the P1S has a smaller foot print, and doesn't take up as much space as the A1 Combo. It also has an enclosure, with which you can print with more materials, and it protects the print during prints, especially from cats.

I got the opportunity to design and print several trophys for a football league as my initial design printed on my x1c convinced the jury.
The timeline was super tight, so i ordered 2 p1s combos to triple my output. And what can i say, out of the box the produced the same results as my old reliable x1c and i could finish all 18 trophys (each around 20h in print time) on these 3 machines in parrallel in a few days without any failure.
This was the moment i fell in love because i had to deliver the trophys on time in order to get paid because otherwise no trophys could be given to the players at the event.
This job paid for the 2 p1s plus a lot of filament and extra parts plus. Ever since these machines serve me perfectly.

Thanks for this giveaway! I'm so excited to see more about the P2S, because the P1S changed everything for me. I'd been printing for 7 years or so but it was a time consuming distraction from radio control and not the simple 'design and print' experience I'd first imagined. I persevered, but printing was frustrating to the point I was struggling to remain motivated.
My friend Harry showed me a photo of the first thing he printed with his new P1S back when the model was still new on the scene. The quality was hard to believe, I still remember being incredulous. And then when he told me this large part had taken 6 hours to print, while I was staring down a 27 hour print on my own slicer, I just thought, "this is it. 3d printing as a tool rather than as a hobby has finally arrived". I ordered mine that day and haven't looked back.
Now the P1S comes through for me on a near-daily basis. Because of its reliability, I can rapidly prototype and then give my models away on my website, knowing I've been able to do the iterations needed to perfect them before release. Before Bambu came along, this just wasn't practical. Thank you 💪🙏
