CoreXY 3D printer with AMS 2 Pro for fast, multi-colour, advanced-material printing

Bambu Lab X1 Carbon with AMS 2 Pro Combo is a high-speed CoreXY 3D printer package built for multi-colour printing, multi-material workflows, and reliable output on demanding materials. The system combines 7 μm lidar-assisted calibration, dual auto bed levelling, AI-based print monitoring, and up to 20000 mm/s² acceleration to deliver fast prints with less manual intervention.

The combo includes the hardware needed for the AMS 2 Pro setup: Bambu Lab 4 Pin Bus Cable, Bambu Lab PTFE Tube Coupler, either a Bambu Lab AMS Buffer or AMS Hub for multi AMS set up, and an AMS 2 Pro Power Switching Adapter.

Key features for faster prints and more consistent results

• High-speed CoreXY motion system: Designed for fast printing with 20000 mm/s² acceleration.
• 7 μm lidar support: High-resolution lidar assists with print preparation and first-layer inspection.
• Dual auto bed levelling: Lidar and analogue force sensors cross-check bed levelling for added reliability.
• Active vibration compensation: The XY vibration compensation algorithm improves surface smoothness during fast movement.
• Extrusion compensation: Helps produce cleaner, more consistent print quality.
• AI first-layer inspection: The lidar sensor can check the first layer automatically.
• Spaghetti failure detection and auto-pause: The printer monitors for common failed-print behaviour and can pause the job.
• Power-loss recovery: Print resume after power outage helps reduce wasted jobs.
• Multi-colour and multi-material capability: Pairing with AMS 2 Pro enables automated filament handling and colour changes.

Designed for speed

Bambu Lab X1 Carbon is built for users who want fast print cycles without giving up print quality features. High acceleration, active vibration compensation, and extrusion compensation work together to support cleaner results at higher speeds.

Advanced material support for engineering and reinforced filaments

Bambu Lab X1 Carbon is equipped with extra cooling plus a hardened nozzle and drive gear, which opens access to a wider material range. The printer is specifically described as supporting PA, PC, PET, and TPU, while also specializing in carbon fibre and glass fibre reinforced polymers.

That material flexibility makes the X1 Carbon a practical option for functional prototypes, fixtures, enclosures, workshop parts, and parts that need more than basic PLA-style performance.

Multi-colour printing with AMS 2 Pro

AMS 2 Pro expands the X1 Carbon into a more capable multi-colour and multi-material platform. The AMS 2 Pro is described as offering smarter filament management, faster switching, and better moisture control for more seamless multi-colour printing.

For expanded workflows, the system can stack up to 4 AMS units for up to 16-colour prints. Users who want more colour combinations or more material slots can add additional AMS units to extend the setup.

Vibration compensation and extrusion control for smoother surfaces

The X1 Carbon uses an active vibration compensation (XY) algorithm together with extrusion compensation to improve print smoothness. These features are intended to reduce motion-related artefacts and help the printer maintain good output quality during fast operation.

AI-assisted monitoring for first layers and failure detection

Bambu Lab X1 Carbon includes AI-powered monitoring functions that focus on reliability and reduced supervision. The printer can inspect the first layer, cross-check bed levelling, and monitor for spaghetti-style failures that can ruin a job.

Dual auto bed levelling

Dual auto bed levelling checks for increased reliability. The lidar and analogue force sensors cross-check one another to add an extra layer of redundancy during bed levelling.

AI inspected first layer

The lidar sensor can inspect the first layer automatically. That reduces the need to manually watch the start of every print.

Spaghetti detection

The AI system monitors for spaghetti failures and can auto-pause the print when a problem is detected. This helps reduce wasted material and helps protect ongoing jobs.

Use cases for the Bambu Lab X1 Carbon with AMS 2 Pro

• Multi-colour models and display pieces: AMS 2 Pro supports automated colour changes for more complex visual prints.
• Functional prototypes: PA, PC, PET, and TPU support makes the printer suitable for test parts and real-use components.
• Reinforced engineering parts: Hardened hardware and support for carbon fibre and glass fibre reinforced polymers fit more demanding fabrication work.
• Small-batch production: High-speed CoreXY motion, first-layer inspection, and power-loss recovery support repeatable workflow in busy print environments.
• Educational and lab use: Automated bed levelling, failure detection, and material flexibility reduce setup time and simplify supervision.
