The Bambu Lab P2S is the best 3D Printer you can’t have — ‘logistics delays’ leave the printers locked out of the US, at least for now

Bambu Lab launched an excellent “refreshed” version of their popular P1S earlier this week, the P2S, but it’s not flying off the shelves. At least, not in the United States, where it is nowhere to be found due to “logistical” issues that likely boil down to tariffs.

The P2S is tantalizingly in stock everywhere else around the globe: Canada, Europe, Australia, Japan, and the whole of Asia. But you can’t get it here from there.

Tom’s Hardware received a P2S for review in September, delivered right to America’s Heartland, along with dozens of other reviewers around the globe. We gave it 4.5 Stars, and we’re considering putting it at the top of our Best 3D Printer list. Except it’s really hard to recommend a product to our readers that they can not purchase.

I reached out to Bambu Lab and asked for a shipping update. I was told the company has no idea when it will be able to ship units to its US warehouses. On X, the printer is being advertised with a price tag in Euros, which is somewhat jolting to American sensibilities. A tiny grey footnote declares the machine is “coming soon” to the U.S.
