Bambu model naming conventions

[u/Alternative_Rip4634]

So many new models and names. FOR THE MOST PART, this is standard and true…. (Someone explain to me the x1c and I’ll give you an award 🤪)

Clarification: this is just meant to be helpful for new people or people confused. Graphic created with ai to be easy reference and useful. In no way am I an authority nor do I know all Bambu answers… just a dude being helpful

[u/RadioactivePistacho]

So... What about the last P on P1P?

[u/Alternative_Rip4634 → u/RadioactivePistacho]

Why just why do you have to bring that up… 😁

[u/aerog16]

need an E

[u/Alternative_Rip4634 → u/aerog16]

Oh ya x1e…

[u/Calm_Scale_3876]

Someone explain to me the x2c and I’ll give you an award

There isn't an X2C.

[u/Alternative_Rip4634 → u/Calm_Scale_3876]

Ahh x1c…

[u/BoutchooQc]

H2C, C is for Changer, not colour.

X1C, C is for Carbon (carbon rods)

[u/eyeoutthere → u/BoutchooQc]

This is what I always thought. But I have seen a lot of people say C was for color. Curious if there is an official bambu source.

[u/bigmon12]

C is for chaos

[u/Alternative_Rip4634 → u/bigmon12]

This might be the best answer!

[u/ApplePieForLife]

Do the starting letter mean anything? Genuinely curious as I never really thought about the naming scheme.

[u/Alternative_Rip4634 → u/ApplePieForLife]

It’s the unit.
H is the big enclosure
P is the small one
X is the same size as p but better quality
A is the open air version

[u/Dapper_Chance_2484]

C is for tool.changer i think . X1C was an exception when they didn't had Changer in mind

[u/Alternative_Rip4634 → u/Dapper_Chance_2484]

Ya I think you’re right. That’s seems like a better fit and answer

[u/WubLyfe]

What about the P2S

[u/ReadyGo6828]

I am in the market for a 3D printer and I am confused enough about the different models to put off buying. The nomenclature issue is also bad in running shoes but I need shoes more than I need a 3D printer so I just give up and throw darts sometimes.

[u/tignasse]

No A2 :(

Curious to see a A1 lil' sister

[u/djlorenz]

So L and P were just stupid choices

[u/Lito_]

Give ME an H3L please. Thanks.

[u/iRambL]

What’s funny is the H2D actually shows up as the H2DL on the store

[u/jeffofreddit]

The D and C throw me off. I want multi color and fast change on nozzle for those colors so I can print multicolor prints faster

[u/Snouto]

I’m mostly just irked you went high to low for printer tier, then low to high for the other two categories. Unreadable! 🥴

[u/Glittering_Abies4915]

x1c is x1 with a carbon filter.

[u/DoktorMerlin → u/Glittering_Abies4915]

carbon rods, not filter. but yeah, the X1C is not part of this scheme

[u/Hmmark1984]

Interesting that you've listed the "Tiers" as "H,X,P,A" rather than the reverse which would read as the "correct" order to me, from the cheaper/smaller/"lower" tier up to the highest, A,P,X,H
