Comparisons

Bambu Lab P1S vs Original Prusa CORE One

  • The P1S has 13% more build volume (16.8 L against 14.8 L).
  • Per litre, the P1S is the cheaper space at $24 against $81.
  • Only the CORE One publishes a flow rate (24 mm³/s, roughly 300 mm/s of line speed), so the other's speed claim cannot be checked.
  • Only the CORE One drives its chamber (to 55 °C), which is the difference that matters for large ABS and ASA parts.
