The enclosure is the whole point
It holds chamber heat, and chamber heat is the reason ABS and ASA parts come off the plate flat instead of curling at the corners. This is the jump from hobby printing into materials you can put in a working part.

Bambu Lab P1S
Enclosed CoreXY workhorse
An enclosed CoreXY machine that prints ABS and ASA properly. The best value-for-money jump from hobby printing into engineering materials, and the machine most small workshops end up buying.

Why this machine
- Fully enclosed — ABS and ASA print without warping
- CoreXY motion at up to 500 mm/s and 20,000 mm/s²
- Hardened steel extruder gears for abrasive filaments
- AMS-compatible: 4 colours per unit, up to 4 units
- Auxiliary part-cooling fan for clean overhangs at speed
A closer look
CoreXY at 20,000 mm/s²
The head moves in X and Y while the bed only travels down, so a tall part is not being shaken back and forth on the plate as it grows. That is what lets it hold quality at speed rather than just moving fast.
Colour that scales past four
Each AMS unit holds four spools and the printer takes up to four units — sixteen loaded filaments if a job genuinely calls for it. Most workshops run one and stop swapping spools by hand.

Questions before you buy
P1S or X1 Carbon?
The X1C adds Micro Lidar first-layer inspection, AI failure detection and an all-metal hardened hotend. If prints have to run overnight unattended, or you print carbon-filled filament, that is what you are paying for. Otherwise the P1S prints the same parts for less.
Can it print carbon-fibre filaments?
Its rated material list is PLA, PETG, TPU, ABS, ASA and PC. The extruder gears are hardened, but for regular carbon-filled work we would point you at the X1 Carbon or the H2 series instead.
How many colours can it print?
Four per AMS unit, up to four units — so up to sixteen. Bear in mind that every colour change purges filament, which is the trade-off the H2C exists to solve.
Can I leave it printing while I am out?
It will print unattended perfectly well, but it has no camera-based failure detection — that is the X1 Carbon's feature. If unattended overnight runs are the reason you are buying, buy the X1C.
What is the build volume?
256 × 256 × 256 mm, the same as the A1 and the X1 Carbon. The difference between those three is the enclosure and the inspection hardware, not the size.
Can you help me choose?
Ask us before you buy — we run these machines commercially every day, so we can tell you which one actually fits what you print rather than which one has the longest spec sheet. And if you would rather not own a printer at all, send us the model and we will print it for you.
The P1S is the printer that turns a hobby setup into a workshop. The enclosure holds chamber heat, which is the whole reason ABS and ASA parts come off the bed flat instead of curling at the corners.
Who it suits
Small businesses, engineering students and anyone printing functional parts that have to survive a car dashboard or a Singapore balcony. It is also the cheapest sensible route into multi-colour: one AMS gets you four colours, and it stacks to four units.
P1S or X1 Carbon?
The X1C adds Micro Lidar first-layer inspection, AI failure detection and an all-metal hotend with a hardened nozzle for carbon-filled filaments. If you are printing overnight unattended, or printing CF composites, the X1C earns the difference. If you are not, the P1S prints the same parts.
Buying from ZeroCore
We print commercially on Bambu hardware every day, so ask us the awkward questions before you commit — maintenance intervals, which materials are worth stocking, what actually breaks.
