Bambu Lab P2S.
A meaningful upgrade with a servo extruder delivering 70% more extrusion force and a completely redesigned interface.
The Verdict.
Gavler Meta-Score
“The P2S does something rare: it makes a meaningful upgrade over the P1S without doubling the price. The servo extruder eliminates the underextrusion and grinding that plague stepper-based printers at high speeds, and the enclosed chamber with active airflow means you can print engineering materials without aftermarket modifications. At $599, it's $200 more than the P1S for roughly 30% better reliability with demanding filaments. That math works for anyone printing more than a few times a month.”
The Gavler Verdict
Precision Engineering
DynaSense Servo Extruder
PMSM servo motor delivers 70% more extrusion force than stepper-based systems — eliminates grinding and underextrusion at 500mm/s with CF and TPU filaments.
Active Airflow System
Enclosed chamber with automatic temperature management lets you print PLA with the door closed and switch to ABS/ASA without modifications.
AMS 2 Pro + AI Camera
Multi-material system with active filament drying, 1080p AI-powered monitoring camera, and 5-inch touchscreen for untethered operation.
Technical Specifications
The Scoreboard
Experts universally praise the servo extruder and enclosed chamber as genuine upgrades over the P1S. Community scores slightly lower due to the unchanged build volume and $200 premium over the P1S, which some hobbyists feel isn't justified for PLA-only printing.

Global Critique
“The P2S is a fantastic printer that is perfect for hobbyists and professionals who want something more capable than the A1 — really good with no complaints.”
“Refreshing a best seller. The servo extruder and enclosed chamber make this a genuine step forward, not just a spec bump.”
“From taking it out of the box to printing was 15 minutes. The P2S has to have been the simplest setup of any printer I've tested.”
“The new speed king — maintains velocity even in the tightest curves thanks to 20,000 mm/s² acceleration.”
