Bambu Lab cuts H2S AMS Combo 3D printer to $1,399 in latest sale

Bambu Lab cut its H2S AMS Combo 3D printer to $1,399 from $1,500, and to £1,099 from £1,199 in the UK, in the company's current printer sale.

The H2S has a 340 x 320 x 340mm build volume, a toolhead rated at up to 1,000mm/s with 20,000mm/s² acceleration, a fully enclosed chamber with 65°C active heating and a 350°C nozzle intended for engineering materials. It carries 23 onboard sensors and three cameras for AI-driven print monitoring. The discounted AMS Combo bundle includes the printer, a textured PEI build plate, a spool holder and an accessory box, and it enables multi-color printing out of the box. The standalone printer is also on sale at a lower price, but buyers who want multi-color output later would need to add the AMS accessory separately.

TechRadar's 3D printing expert Alastair tested the machine, writing that "the H2S is impressive, and the single-nozzle hotend is highly tuned for precision and quality." On surface finish he noted: "One of the big points I would highlight while using this printer was not only the speed and scale, but also the quality of the surface finish. Surfaces were exceptionally smooth, and when I printed the Autodesk Kickstarter test model I've been using for many years, it was almost a full 30 out of 30." The review's verdict described the test prints as "some of the cleanest I've seen" and said that at this scale and consistency the results are difficult to match with another model. The build volume is larger than that of Bambu Lab's X1 Carbon, and the heated, enclosed chamber is designed to handle ABS and nylon, which need stable temperatures.

TechRadar flagged several limits. The H2S uses a single nozzle, so multi-color and multi-material printing runs slower and produces more waste than on Bambu Lab's dual-nozzle H2D models. Setup and use are straightforward for people already familiar with 3D printers, but there is a learning curve for anyone pushing the fastest custom speed settings, and the machine takes up considerable desk space. The review positioned it for design studios, small businesses and serious engineering hobbyists rather than casual weekend printing, and described it as pricey for beginners or hobbyists. Buyers satisfied with single-color printing are pointed toward the standalone model, which can be upgraded with an AMS later.

On price, TechRadar said $1,399 for a printer with this build volume, print speed and heated chamber remains a strong figure relative to enclosed printers with comparable specifications from other brands, several of which cost noticeably more while offering a smaller build area.
