Bambu Lab Black Friday 2026

Bambu Lab’s Black Friday sale is live, with the A1 mini starting at $199 in the US and €179 in the EU, and meaningful discounts further up the range. The strongest deal depends on what you print: the A1 Combo is an affordable route into multicolor printing, the P1S AMS 2 Pro Combo keeps the cost of an enclosed setup down, and the P2S Combo adds useful hardware and usability upgrades.

Our shortlist is based on official specifications, bundle contents and store prices checked on October 28, 2026, rather than hands-on testing. US and EU offers differ, so choose your regional table before comparing prices.

The US sale terms run from October 27 at 8 a.m. EDT through December 1 at 2 a.m. EST. The EU terms list October 27 at 13:00 CET through December 1 at 08:00 CET. Availability can change during the promotion.

The deals worth starting with

• Lowest entry price: A1 mini : $199 / €179. A compact choice for small PLA and PETG projects. This is the printer-only price.
• Budget multicolor pick: A1 Combo : $359 / €339. A larger print area and the included AMS lite make this an appealing first multicolor setup.
• Affordable enclosed bundle: P1S AMS 2 Pro Combo : $509 / €499. Worth considering when you want an enclosure and filament handling while keeping the upfront cost down.
• All-round upgrade pick: P2S Combo : $649 / €599. Its touchscreen, AI monitoring and hardened-steel extrusion hardware give the extra spend a practical purpose.
• Dual-material pick: X2D AMS Combo : $789 / €749. Two nozzles and active chamber heating suit dedicated support materials and more demanding projects.

Those recommendations are buying judgments, not a ranking of measured print quality. The tables below show exactly which configuration each price covers.

US Black Friday printer prices

The US store labels its comparison figure “Typical Price.” Savings here are calculated against that figure; they are not claims of an all-time low. All prices are in US dollars. The table does not include any destination-based sales tax; check the final total at checkout.

Check the configuration selector after opening a product link. In particular, the P1S AMS Combo and P1S AMS 2 Pro Combo are separate products at different prices. The US product pages also advertise free shipping in the 48 contiguous states; other destinations follow the store’s shipping policy.

EU Black Friday printer prices

The EU store uses “30-day lowest” as its printer reference price. That is a different comparison basis from the US store’s Typical Price.

The headline “up to €450 off” applies to that H2C 40W Laser Full Combo, rather than every H2C configuration. These are selected deals, not the entire sale catalog.

Displayed EU prices include German VAT by default. The VAT policy says the final amount adjusts to the shipping destination. Printer and AMS orders are also excluded from the ordinary accessory free-shipping threshold. Under the shipping policy, German delivery is listed at €6 for an A1/P1S/P2S/X2D and €75 for H-series AMS combos; other countries and configurations differ.

Which Bambu printer makes sense for you?

A1 mini or A1 Combo: choose the project size first

The A1 mini has a 180 × 180 × 180 mm build volume. That works for small organizers, desk accessories and individual model parts, but check your planned files before buying. A low price is less useful if your regular projects need splitting into several pieces.

The A1 increases the nominal build volume to 256 × 256 × 256 mm. Its Combo includes an AMS lite for up to four colors. Both printers offer automatic calibration and are sensible starting points for PLA and PETG.

Their open frames are the trade-off. Bambu does not recommend enclosing the A1, and its stock stainless-steel nozzle needs replacement with hardened steel for abrasive materials. For larger ABS or ASA work, an enclosed machine is the more appropriate starting point.

One detail older guides may miss: current A1-series pages list compatibility with AMS, AMS 2 Pro and AMS HT through the additional AMS HUB (SA013). The A1 Combo still comes with AMS lite, so do not confuse future compatibility with included hardware.

P1S or P2S: decide what the upgrade buys you

Both have a nominal 256 mm cube build volume and an enclosure. The P1S AMS 2 Pro Combo is the cheaper choice, with its AMS 2 Pro and connection hardware included. Its stock stainless-steel hotend and extrusion setup need upgrades before printing fiber-reinforced materials.

The P2S Combo costs $140 more in the US or €100 more in the EU. That adds a 5-inch touchscreen, AI error detection, a servo extruder, a quick-swap hotend and hardened-steel nozzle and extruder gear. For a new buyer who expects to use the machine regularly, those are useful reasons to stretch the budget.

The P2S does not have an active chamber heater. Its chamber retains and regulates heat using the enclosure and airflow system. Also, although its AMS 2 Pro can dry filament while the printer is idle, drying during printing requires an additional power adapter that the Combo does not include.

X2D: pay for two nozzles and active heating

The X2D AMS Combo is $140 / €150 above the P2S Combo. Its main appeal is a dual-nozzle setup for workflows such as assigning a separate material to supports, plus a chamber actively heated to 65°C.

Read the volume specification carefully. The main nozzle covers 256 × 256 × 260 mm, but the shared dual-nozzle space is 235.5 × 256 × 256 mm. Its main and auxiliary extruders also differ, and Bambu publishes separate material limits for each. Buy it for a specific support or material workflow after checking compatibility, rather than assuming every filament pairing will work equally well.

H2S, H2D or H2C: buy for a workload you already have

The H2S is the straightforward large-part option here: a single nozzle and 340 × 320 × 340 mm build volume. The H2D adds dual-nozzle capability, with a shared printing area of 300 × 320 × 325 mm. Both offer a 350°C nozzle maximum and 65°C active chamber heating.

The H2C targets more involved multicolor and multimaterial printing with its Vortek hotend-change system. The standard Combo includes eight hotends and one AMS 2 Pro, but that is not an out-of-box seven-color setup. The advertised full Vortek workflow assumes matching-diameter induction hotends and sufficient AMS feeds; additional purchases may be needed. Current product documentation also says mixed nozzle diameters are unsupported within one print.

For occasional decorative models, that extra cost may be hard to justify. For repeated material changes and substantial purge waste, the H2C deserves a closer look. None of the standard H-series AMS Combo prices above includes laser modules or the optional Vision Encoder.

Is a Combo cheaper than buying the AMS later?

At the checked sale prices, yes for these examples. This compares the listed printer and AMS prices before any additional connection accessories or shipping.

The standalone sale prices are $229 / €219 for AMS 2 Pro, $159 / €149 for AMS lite, $199 / €189 for AMS, and $119 / €109 for AMS HT, as listed on the regional sale pages. In the first row, the A1 printer-only prices used are $259 and €239.

If multicolor printing is already part of your plan, the Combo arithmetic is persuasive. If you mostly print single-material parts, buying an AMS purely because it is discounted still increases your spend.

Filament deals: the lowest price needs a larger basket

The US promotion advertises PLA Basic from $9.74 per roll and PETG Basic from $9.09, but those prices require 10 or more eligible rolls and selected variants. US discount tiers are 10% for 2 to 3 rolls, 15% for 4 to 5, 25% for 6 to 9 and 35% for 10 or more.

The EU filament sale has a different threshold. The checked 1 kg refill variants reached €9.00 for PLA Basic and €8.47 for PETG Basic at 14 or more eligible rolls. Its tiers are 25% for 4 to 5 rolls, 35% for 6 to 9, 43% for 10 to 13 and 47% for 14 or more. These are not universal one-roll or spool-included prices.

Eligible individual-filament purchases also receive a complimentary filament at each ten-roll threshold in the US or fourteen-roll threshold in the EU, while gift stock lasts. Bundles do not count toward those thresholds. Compare the total basket cost and your likely consumption before adding extra colors just to reach the next tier.

Shop the material you actually need: PLA Basic US / EU, and PETG Basic US / EU. A refill needs a compatible reusable spool. PLA Basic Gradient and PLA Silk Dual Color are excluded from the basic/aesthetic bulk offer; qualifying quantities must be in one order.

Flash sales, credits and the final checkout

Flash sales are separate from the main printer promotion: printers and AMS units are excluded. The terms schedule 24-hour rounds beginning October 27, November 3, 10, 17, 24, 27 and 30. Future products and availability should be checked when each round opens; a past flash price is not a standing offer.

Credit-redemption coupons can reduce a qualifying purchase, but they are not automatic discounts. Both stores list 500 credits for 15 off a 500 minimum spend, 1,000 for 30 off 700, 2,000 for 50 off 900, and 4,000 for 90 off 1,700, in the local currency. These coupons cannot stack with other coupons. We have not deducted them from the price tables. Redeemed credits are nonrefundable, and the coupons expire 30 days after redemption. Check account eligibility before redeeming; the US rewards page and EU campaign terms explain the conditions.

Price protection is available only on physical products carrying the 30-day price-protection badge, with a claim required within the same window. Do not assume every accessory or promotion qualifies. US printer pages advertise a two-year warranty and 30-day return requests subject to the policy; EU customers should check their regional terms and applicable statutory rights.

Before paying, confirm the exact Combo, destination-adjusted total, any required adapters and the filament quantity tier. The most useful deal is the least expensive setup that comfortably handles your actual projects: an A1 Combo for accessible multicolor printing, a P2S Combo for a more capable enclosed everyday machine, or a dual-nozzle model when supports and material changes are central to your work.
