What to check before you buy a used Bambu Lab P1S

Ask for a sample benchy print to verify no extrusion issues or layer inconsistency
Check the hotend — Bambu Lab's hardened steel nozzle should be replaced every 200–300 hours if printing abrasive materials
Verify the AMS (if included) feeds all four filament channels without jams
Check the chamber door seal for wear — important for ABS and ASA printing

Frequently asked questions

What is a fair price for a used Bambu Lab P1S in the UK?

£400 to £540 without the AMS multi-material unit; add £120 to £180 if AMS is included and functioning. The P1S retails at £749 new; a well-maintained used example at £460 saves £290 for the same core capability.

Is the Bambu Lab P1S better than the Prusa MK4 used?

Different strengths. The P1S is significantly faster and better for engineering materials in its enclosed chamber. The Prusa MK4 is more user-serviceable, has a longer-established repair community, and holds its value slightly better. For mixed-material and speed-oriented printing, the P1S used is the stronger choice.
