Snapmaker U1 vs Bambu Lab P1S: toolchanger or AMS?
Both printers cost about the same with multi-colour hardware, but they solve colour changes in opposite ways. The U1 swaps four complete toolheads; the P1S feeds four spools into one nozzle through the AMS.

Bambu Lab
Bambu Lab P1S
9.0Best for Beginners who want speed and engineering filaments
Read reviewWhich should you buy?
Pick the Snapmaker U1 if you print multi-colour or multi-material parts often: toolhead swaps waste far less filament and finish sooner. Pick the Bambu Lab P1S if you print mostly single-colour, want an enclosure out of the box for ABS and like Bambu’s polished app ecosystem.
