Bambu 4th Anniversary Sale: First-Ever H-Series Discounts
Published · Updated · Our printer picks →
Update, July 16: the sale is over, but most prices stayed low
The Anniversary Sale ended on July 15. Checking Bambu's US store on July 16, most machines did not snap back to list price. The A1 mini sits at $219, the A1 at $299, the P1S at $399, the H2S at $1,199, the H2D at $1,549 and the H2C at $2,199, all shown as discounts from list with no end date announced. Only the A2L ($469), P2S ($549) and X2D ($649) are at their regular list prices. If you missed the sale window, you mostly did not miss the prices. Update August 19: during the Back-to-School sale (August 17 to 31) the P1S dropped further to $369, matching its Anniversary-Sale low. Update September 2: it did not stick. The P1S went back to $399 when the sale ended on August 31. The more interesting change is what happened to the list prices themselves: Bambu has stopped showing them for six of its nine current models, so the P1S is no longer $399 off $699, it is simply $399. Only the H2S, H2D and H2C are still advertised below a list price.
Update September 19: Bambu’s Fall Sale (September 16 to 22, 2026) reversed that for the P1S. It dropped to $359 on September 17 and its $399 reference price reappeared the same morning, so four of nine models now show a struck-through price again. The H2C moved on September 16 to $2,099 against a new $2,199 reference price.
Update September 22: The Fall Sale ended at 6:59 EDT and both dated discounts expired. The P1S is back at $399 and the H2C at $2,199; the EU store moved the H2C back from 1,999€ to 2,149€. Two of nine models still show a struck-through price, the H2S and the H2D, and those discounts carry no end date.
Update October 6: Bambu cut the P1S to $369 again, this time as an open-ended discount from a $399 typical price, and the A1 mini to $209 (typical $219). That makes four of nine models with a struck-through price: the A1 mini, P1S, H2S and H2D. See the price tracker for the current picture.
Short version
Bambu Lab's 4th Anniversary Sale ran June 15 to July 15, 2026, with record-low prices across the range, up to 52% off. The headline was that the P2S, H2S and H2C got discounted for the first time ever, and H-series buyers earned double loyalty credits. There were also Lucky Draw events on June 25, July 9 and July 16. The sale ended on July 15; see the update above for which prices stuck around.
What the sale was
To mark four years, Bambu Lab ran an Anniversary Sale from June 15 to July 15, 2026. It was the biggest discount event of the year so far, with what Bambu described as record-low prices, up to 52% off across the lineup depending on the product and bundle.
The notable part was not the size of the discount but what got discounted. Several machines that had never been on sale were included this time.
The first-ever discounts
The P2S, H2S and H2C were discounted for the first time since launch. These were recent, high-demand machines that Bambu had held at full price until then, so this sale was the first real chance to buy them below list.
Perks beyond the price cuts
Two things sweetened the sale beyond the headline discounts.
Double loyalty credits on the H-series. H-series machines bought during the sale earned 2x Bambu loyalty credits, which effectively lowered the real cost further through future store credit. For anyone buying an H2S, H2D or H2C anyway, buying during the sale stacked the discount with the bonus credits.
Lucky Draw events. Bambu ran Lucky Draws on June 25, July 9 and July 16, 2026, all of them tied to the sale window. They were promotional prize draws, a bonus rather than a reason to buy, and all three are now closed. The sale itself ran through July 15, 2026.
Which deals are worth it
A sale is only a good deal if the machine was right for you at full price. Here is how the discounts map onto the printers that matter, using each machine's list price at the time of the sale as the reference.
| Printer | List price (June 2026) | Best for | Sale note |
|---|---|---|---|
| A2L | $469 | Budget big volume, cutting plotter | Newest A-series, occasionally bundled |
| P2S | $549 | Enclosed ABS/ASA on a budget | First-ever discount |
| X2D | $649 | Dual nozzle, active 65°C chamber | Strong all-rounder if enclosed |
| H2S | $1,249 | Engineering, 350°C nozzle | First-ever discount + 2x credits |
| H2C | $2,399 | 7 materials via Vortek, minimal purge | First-ever discount + 2x credits |
Prices shown are the list prices at the time of the sale. Today the H2C sells for $2,199 with no list price shown and the H2S for $1,199 against a typical price of $1,249 (Bambu US store, checked October 6, 2026); check the store for the current figure on each model.
The best-value picks
P2S (list $549). Its first discount since launch. If you print ABS or ASA and want an enclosure without paying X2D or H-series money, this was the standout sale buy.
H2S (list $1,249). The first discount on the H-series entry point, plus double loyalty credits, was the best time yet to get a 350°C nozzle and an active chamber for engineering materials. If PPS was your goal, that was the window; for PA-CF and PC alone, the X2D already suffices.
H2C (list $2,399 at the time). A first-ever discount on the Vortek machine, again with 2x credits. This one only makes sense if you genuinely need to run many materials with minimal purge waste; it is a specialist tool, but the specialists finally had a reason to buy then rather than wait.
Where to be careful
A discount on the wrong machine is still the wrong machine. If you only print PLA and PETG, an H-series printer is not for you even on sale; an A2L or an A1 covers your needs for far less. And do not let "up to 52%" pull you toward a top-end model you would not otherwise consider. Match the printer to your materials first (our chamber guide is the fastest way to do that), then check whether it is on sale.
Important: these were time-limited prices
Everything in this sale was a time-limited price for June 15 to July 15, 2026. Most machines did not go back to their old list prices afterwards (see the updates at the top): in the Bambu US store on October 6, 2026 the P2S sells for $549, the H2S for $1,199 against a typical price of $1,249, and the H2C for $2,199 with no list price shown. Do not treat a sale figure as the machine's real price when comparing across models or planning a later purchase.
Bottom line
The 4th Anniversary Sale was the strongest Bambu buying window of 2026 up to that point, and genuinely notable because the P2S, H2S and H2C had never been discounted before. If one of those was already the right machine for you, the June 15 to July 15 window with double H-series credits was the moment. If you are still deciding, pick the printer for your materials and budget first, then use the sale to save on that specific choice, not to talk yourself into a bigger one.
