⚖️ Expert Verdict

The Bambu Lab P1S and the Creality Ender 3 V3 represent the two most popular ways to achieve high-speed 3D printing today. The Ender 3 V3 is a highly optimized 'bed-slinger' that uses a unique CoreXZ system to reach impressive speeds at a very accessible price point. The Bambu Lab P1S, however, is a fully enclosed CoreXY machine, which offers much better thermal stability for a wider range of materials. While the Ender 3 V3 is great for PLA, the P1S allows you to print ABS and ASA without worrying about warping or room drafts. The P1S also integrates seamlessly with the AMS system for multi-colour printing, an area where Creality’s ecosystem is still catching up. In terms of user experience, the P1S feels like a finished product, while the Ender 3 V3 still feels like a hobbyist machine that requires occasional tinkering. The P1S is also significantly quieter due to its enclosed panels and better-tuned fans. For those on a budget, the Ender 3 V3 is a speed king, but for a professional and versatile experience, the P1S is the clear winner. The P1S is simply more 'set and forget' than the Creality.

What Owners Are Saying?

Bambu Lab P1S

Oscar ★★★★★
"The enclosure is proper sorted. Printing ABS in my garden shed now with zero warping. Absolute unit."

Mia T. ★★★★★
"Strategic choice over the X1C. You get nearly all the performance for significantly less quid. The AMS is a must-have if you want to do any serious multi-material work."

William ★★★★☆
"Setup was a doddle."

Grace S. ★★★☆☆
"Brilliant hardware, but the fan noise is right annoying if you're working in the same room. I’ve had to build a sound-dampening cabinet just to keep my sanity during the day."

Creality Ender 3 V3

Noah ★★★★★
"Huge step up from my old V2. The CoreXZ system is proper fast and the auto-leveling actually works this time around. Best budget bed-slinger in London right now."

Ava B. ★★★★☆
"Good ROI. Build plate is a bit finicky though."
