Bambu Lab is teasing a new 3D printer, the Bambu Lab P1P, and Reddit is set on pulling back the curtain early.

A thread posted yesterday contains several theories about what the new printer may be. The consensus? A more affordable version of the extremely popular Bambu Lab X1.

Reddit user pdelvo posted an image, which has since been removed, that showed similarities in each printer’s design. User tsdexter, meanwhile, investigated Bambu Lab’s teaser page source and found: “P1P is the Bambu Lab latest 3D printer with a more accessible price for both beginners and professionals.”

Other users quickly point out that the two printers have the same build plate size – although this is seemingly based on the aforementioned deleted image. As for further specifics, it’s all conjecture for now, but from the looks of Bambu Lab’s teaser, we’ll know sooner rather than later. Be sure to check back for any and all updates regarding the Bambu Lab P1P.
