The P2S
The Bambu Lab P2S is an enclosed Core XY printer - basically the P1S with a few upgrades baked in. Enclosed chamber means ABS and other temperature-sensitive filaments are actually printable without warping headaches.
Setup Process
Unboxing
The box is substantial - the P2S is a fully enclosed unit, so it ships as one piece.
Out of the box with protective film still on. The glass door and panels come pre-installed.
Removing Shipping Materials
Open the door and remove all the foam inserts protecting the print head and bed during shipping. Don’t forget to check every corner.
Included Accessories
What’s in the box:
- Touch screen control panel
- Spool holder assembly
- PTFE tubing
- Power cable
- Toolkit (Allen keys, lubricants, spare parts)
Screen Installation
Connect the ribbon cable to the touch screen and mount it. The cable connection is straightforward - just line it up and push gently.
Spool Holder Setup
Attach the spool holder to the back and route the PTFE tube. If you’re adding an AMS later, this is where it connects.
First Power On
Connect to WiFi, bind to your Bambu account, and let the automatic calibration run. Same process as other Bambu printers - quick and painless.
Personalization
Made it mine with a periwinkle theme and some functional mods:
- Screen nameplate - Custom bumper with “AIM’S 3D Print Shoppe” branding
- Extruder fan honeycomb - Airflow mod that looks better than the stock grille
- Hole covers - Plugged various openings inside the chamber to keep debris out
- Color coordination - All accent pieces printed in matching periwinkle
The P2S has several maintenance holes and cable routing gaps that can collect dust and filament scraps over time. A few printed covers keeps the internals cleaner.
