Refurbished 3D printers have become one of the most searched deals in the Australian 3D printing community — and for good reason. An official refurbished Bambu Lab P1S Combo currently sells for $699 at 3D BRO, hundreds less than a new unit, with warranty included. Here's what you need to know before buying one.
What does "official refurbished" mean?
Official refurbished units are printers returned to Bambu Lab (often for shipping damage to the box, or simple change of mind), then inspected, tested and restored by Bambu Lab's own factory. They must pass the same quality control as new printers before resale. This is completely different from buying second-hand on a marketplace, where there is no certification, no warranty, and no way to know how the machine was treated.
How much do you save?
In Australia, an official refurbished Bambu Lab P1S Combo (with AMS) is $699 versus $829 for a new combo — a solid saving on essentially the same printing experience: fully enclosed, high-speed CoreXY, multi-colour printing via AMS. See the full Bambu Lab price list for Australia for current pricing across the range.
Is the warranty the same?
Refurbished units sold through 3D BRO come with warranty and are supported locally — we are an authorised Bambu Lab service centre in Sydney, so any claim is handled in Australia rather than by shipping your printer overseas.
Who should buy refurbished?
- First-time printer owners — lowest-risk way into the Bambu Lab ecosystem
- Schools and makerspaces — stretch the budget across more machines
- Print farms — add certified capacity at a lower cost per unit
Who should buy new instead?
If you want the latest hardware generation (X2D, H2S, H2D), need a specific colour/edition, or simply want the full factory warranty period, buy new — see the complete Bambu Lab range in stock in Australia.
Availability

FAQ
Do refurbished Bambu Lab printers look used? Cosmetically they may have very minor marks, but most units are indistinguishable from new.
Does the AMS come included? Yes — the P1S Combo refurbished includes the AMS multi-colour unit.
Can I pick it up locally? Yes, pickup is available from 3D BRO at Regents Park, Sydney — or we ship Australia-wide.
