Bambu Lab turns four this month, and they have marked the occasion with what is being described as the lowest prices ever across five flagship printer series — including the first-ever discounts on the P2S, H2S, and H2C. The sale went live today, runs for a full month across the US, EU, UK, Canada, and Australia stores, and given some of the conversations that have been running on this site recently — the H2C as a long-term aspiration, the tool changer versus AMS economics, and my own reconsideration of the A2L as a large-format single-colour machine — the timing is relevant enough to be worth a dedicated post.
The headline numbers
The sale runs from June 15 to July 15, 2026, and covers the P1S, P2S, H2S, H2D, and H2C printer families at what Bambu describes as their lowest prices since launch. The P2S, H2S, and H2C discounts are notable specifically because these are recent enough releases that they have never been discounted before — the P2S and H2C in particular have been at full price since launch, and this is the first time either has appeared on sale anywhere.
| Printer | Sale price (US) | Was | Saving |
|---|---|---|---|
| A1 Mini | $209 | $219 | $10 |
| A1 Combo (AMS Lite) | $379 | $399 | $20 |
| P1S Combo (AMS 2) | $539 | $599 | $60 |
| P2S Combo (AMS 2) | $699 | $799 | $100 — first ever discount |
| H2S Combo (AMS 2) | $1,349 | $1,499 | $150 — first ever discount |
| H2D Combo (AMS 2) | $1,699 | $1,999 | $300 |
| H2C Combo (AMS 2) | $2,149 | $2,399 | $250 — first ever discount |
| H2D Laser Full Combo (AMS 2) | $2,649 | $3,199 | $550 |
The pattern across the table is consistent: every printer in the current lineup except the most recently launched models has a meaningful discount applied. The A2L and the X2D — both launched within the last few months — are conspicuously absent from the discount list. Anyone hoping the A2L might appear with anniversary pricing attached will be disappointed; a printer announced two weeks ago is not going to be discounted in the same cycle. The same applies to the X2D. If your interest is specifically in either of those two machines, this sale does not change the calculation.
What else is included
Beyond the headline printer discounts, the sale includes several other elements worth knowing about if you are planning to buy anything from Bambu over the next month.
Filament is discounted to what Bambu describes as its lowest-ever final price, with some rolls available for as low as $9.89. This connects directly to the broader filament pricing trend covered in the PLA pricing post — a sub-$10 roll of Bambu’s own branded filament during a flagship sale period is a meaningful data point in that ongoing story, even if it represents a promotional low rather than a new baseline.
Anyone subscribing to Bambu’s anniversary sale newsletter ahead of the launch was eligible for an exclusive coupon — a $20 off voucher for new subscribers, valid for the duration of the sale period. If you missed the subscription window (it closed at the point the sale went live), the headline discounts above still apply without it; the coupon stacks on top for those who signed up in time.
Weekly flash sales are running throughout the month on top of the baseline discounts — build plates, accessories, and specific filament lines getting additional short-term price drops on a rotating basis. There is also a first-week-only offer of 40% off when bundling certain items with a hotend purchase, which is the kind of deal worth checking the store directly for if you are due a nozzle or hotend replacement anyway, as covered in the long-term ownership post.
The H Series specifically gets an additional incentive beyond the price cut: any H2S, H2D, or H2C purchased during the anniversary period earns double Credits toward future orders. For anyone seriously considering one of these machines, the combination of the largest percentage discounts in the sale plus double Credits makes this the strongest case in the whole promotion — though the absolute spend remains substantial regardless of the discount.
There are also three separate prize draws running across the campaign period where winners get their entire order refunded. The mechanics of entry are not fully detailed in the announcement beyond participation through the sale page, but it is the kind of promotional addition that costs Bambu relatively little against the marketing value of “your whole order could be free” messaging during a month-long sale.
What this means for the decisions on this site
A few of the ongoing threads on 3DBite intersect directly with this sale, and it is worth being explicit about how.
The H2C — the machine that came up repeatedly in the AMS arms race post and the tool changer economics post as the Bambu-ecosystem answer to the multi-material waste problem, and which I described as “too expensive to justify” — has just had its first-ever discount, dropping from $2,399 to $2,149. That $250 reduction does not fundamentally change the calculus laid out in the tool changer economics post; the H2C remains a five-figure-in-pounds-with-accessories proposition once you account for UK pricing and any additional AMS units. But for anyone whose payback arithmetic was sitting right at the boundary, a $250 reduction is not nothing, and the double Credits on top extend the value further for anyone planning to buy filament and accessories from Bambu regularly anyway.
The A2L situation is more straightforward and slightly disappointing given the timing. Having spent two posts working through whether the A2L is worth ordering as a large-format single-colour machine following the Kobra X return, the anniversary sale arriving two weeks after the A2L’s launch and not including it is exactly what you would expect from Bambu’s pricing strategy, but it does mean there is no financial incentive to bring forward a decision that was already under consideration. The A2L sits at its launch price for the foreseeable future regardless of this sale.
The A1 Combo discount — $379 down from $399, a $20 saving — is modest in absolute terms but worth noting for anyone who has been considering a second A1 as the “right second machine” conclusion from the Kobra X four-week review. A second A1 at $379 with AMS Lite included, during a month where filament is also at its cheapest, is about as favourable a moment as this specific purchase is likely to get without waiting for a future sale cycle.
The practical advice
If you have been waiting for a sale to make a Bambu purchase, this is the sale. The framing from the announcement — “is now the right time to buy? For the next 30 days, the answer is yes” — is, for once, straightforwardly accurate marketing rather than the usual sale-period urgency framing. The P2S, H2S, and H2C discounts genuinely are the first time these machines have been reduced, and the broader pattern across the catalogue suggests Bambu is treating this anniversary as a genuine clearance-adjacent event rather than a token gesture.
The caveat, based on how Black Friday sales have gone with Bambu in previous years: popular configurations sell out and go to backorder during sales like this, even though the sale period itself runs a full month. If a specific machine and Combo configuration is what you want, ordering earlier in the window rather than waiting until closer to July 15 reduces the risk of finding your preferred bundle unavailable when you are ready to commit.
The sale runs across Bambu’s US, EU, UK, Canada, and Australia stores until July 15, 2026. Prices and exact discounts may vary by region due to local tariff and tax differences — the US figures above are the ones reported at launch, and UK shoppers should check the actual checkout price rather than assuming a direct currency conversion.
