The excellent Bambu Lab P1S Combo brings multicolor 3D printing to your desk, and it's $50 off right now

The Bambu Lab P1S Combo is a ready-to-use 3D printer that streamlines the process of creating models. It is preassembled and can be set up in under 15 minutes, handling tasks like bed leveling and vibration compensation automatically. Currently, the printer is available for $499 (down from $549) directly from Bambu Lab, with free shipping included. It also retails for $500 on Amazon and $499.99 at Best Buy.

The P1S Combo supports a range of materials including PLA, PETG, TPU, PVA, and ABS. Its 0.4mm nozzle and high acceleration capabilities enable fast and high-quality prints. The printer comes in a single color and supports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and microSD card storage.

One of the standout features of the P1S Combo is its Automatic Material Switching (AMS), which allows for multicolor printing without the need for manual spool swapping. The printer also has an enclosed design, which is useful for more advanced projects.

The Bambu Lab P1S Combo is an ideal choice for those who want to explore more complex 3D prints without the hassle of manual configuration. However, it may be overkill for individuals who only plan to print single-color PLA models. The printer is currently at its lowest price point, making it a great deal at all three retailers.

While not the biggest discount available, it is still a good option for those interested in multicolor printing. Note that not all filaments work well with the AMS, so it's important to check compatibility. The printer's user interface is relatively simple, focusing primarily on the printing process rather than providing advanced onboard controls.
