| Software notes | The official slicer is Bambu Studio, available for macOS, Windows, and Linux. The printer also accepts standard G-code exported from third-party slicers such as PrusaSlicer, SuperSlicer, and Cura, though certain advanced Bambu-specific features — including RFID-based filament detection and some automatic calibration modes — are only available within Bambu Studio. Remote control is handled via the Bambu Handy mobile app and desktop app; push notifications require cloud connectivity. | Powered by Creality OS (based on open-source Klipper), the printer is natively compatible with Creality Print 5.0 or newer. Wi-Fi connectivity and the built-in AI camera enable real-time remote monitoring and management. |
The differences that matter
- Price: €519 on the P2S against €1499 on the K2 Plus Combo → almost triple.
- Build volume: 256×256×256 mm on the P2S against 350×350×350 mm on the K2 Plus Combo.
- Native Klipper: only on the K2 Plus Combo.
- Multicolor: needs an external accessory on the P2S, built in on the K2 Plus Combo.
Which one to choose
Choose P2S if…
Anyone printing smaller parts and wanting to stay under €600 accepts a 256×256×256 mm bed and the Bambu Studio ecosystem, with multicolor requiring an external accessory but managing up to 20 declared colors.
Choose K2 Plus Combo if…
Anyone printing large parts — scale furniture, molds, single parts over 300 mm — uses the 350×350×350 mm bed and Creality OS's native Klipper firmware, with no accessory needed for multicolor. The trade-off is nearly tripling the spend (€1499 against €519).
