  "question": "What filaments can the Bambu P1S, P1P, and X1C print?",
  "slug": "p1s_filament",
  "useCase": "bambu",
  "useCaseLabel": "Bambu Lab",
  "updated": "2026-10-15",
  "shortAnswer": "PLA, PETG, and TPU fit the P1S, P1P, and X1 Carbon. ABS and ASA want the enclosed P1S or the X1 Carbon, not the open-frame P1P. Carbon-fiber and glass-fiber need a hardened nozzle: the X1 Carbon record has one, and the P1S record still says stainless steel until the extruder and hotend are upgraded.",
  "recommendedMaterials": [
    "pla",
    "petg",
    "asa",
    "pa-cf",
    "tpu"
  ],
  "printerConsiderations": [
    "The P1S record stores a plastic-and-glass enclosed shell, a stainless steel nozzle, a 300 °C (572 °F) hotend, and a 100 °C (212 °F) bed. Bambu says fiber-reinforced filament is not recommended until the extruder and hotend are upgraded.",
    "The P1P record stores an open frame, a stainless steel nozzle, a 300 °C (572 °F) hotend, and a 100 °C (212 °F) bed. ABS and ASA are the materials this consensus keeps off an open frame.",
    "The X1 Carbon tech specs PDF lists a hardened steel nozzle and a 300 °C (572 °F) hotend. The stored bed maximum is 110 °C (230 °F). The PDF also lists 120 °C (248 °F) at 110 V. Enclosure is blank on the printer record because the PDF does not use that word."
  ],
  "pros": [
    "The material list matches the consensus: PLA, PETG, TPU, ABS, and ASA, with fiber grades called out separately.",
    "Nozzle alloy comes from the printer records, so a P1S is not described as shipping a hardened nozzle."
  ],
  "cons": [
    "The consensus mentions newer P1S revisions that ship a hardened nozzle. The printer record checked for this catalog still says stainless steel and an upgrade.",
    "The X1 Carbon enclosure cell is empty. This page does not fill that in from a forum."
  ],
  "community": "The consensus is that the P1S and X1 Carbon handle PLA, PETG, TPU, and enclosed ABS or ASA, and that carbon-fiber or glass-fiber filament needs a hardened nozzle, described there as stock on the X1 Carbon and on newer P1S revisions. The caveat in the same bank is that the P1P is an open frame. The printer records do not confirm a stock hardened nozzle on the P1S.",

  "faq": [
    {
      "q": "Can the P1S print PA6-CF with the nozzle it shipped with?",
      "a": "Not according to the printer record. Hardened nozzle is false, the nozzle note says stainless steel, and Bambu says fiber-reinforced filament waits on an extruder and hotend upgrade. The X1 Carbon record stores a hardened steel nozzle."
    },
    {
      "q": "Does TPU go in the AMS?",
      "a": "The consensus includes TPU as a filament these printers can print. The AMS guide is a separate limit: ordinary TPU stays out of the AMS. Use the external spool, or the product named TPU for AMS."
