If you're in the world of 3D printing, you've certainly heard of Bambu Lab and the revolution the X1 series brought to the market. Well, we have important news: Bambu Lab has officially announced the End of Life (EOL) for the legendary X1, X1 Carbon, and X1E printers.
As of March 31, 2026, these machines will no longer be manufactured. But don't panic! Bambu Lab has guaranteed that support, spare parts, and security updates will continue for the next five years, until 2031 [1]. This demonstrates an incredible commitment to the community, ensuring that those who invested in these fantastic machines are not left unaided.
The X1 series changed the game in 2022, bringing insane speeds, the CoreXY system to the masses, automatic AI calibration, and, of course, the revolutionary AMS system for simple and accessible multi-color printing. It was, without a doubt, a milestone in the history of 3D printing.
What's Next? The Bambu Lab X2D Rumour
With the X1 series exiting the stage, the big question in the air is: what is Bambu Lab preparing to replace it? Rumours are rife and point to a new model, possibly called X2D (or H2D, according to some leaks).
What's being said behind the scenes is that this new machine could bring a much-awaited feature: dual extrusion (dual nozzle). Imagine the possibilities of printing with two different materials (like a soluble support material and the main material) without the waste of time and filament from traditional colour changes! Furthermore, there's talk of a larger print volume and an even more efficient heated chamber.
There are no official confirmations yet, but the anticipation is huge. Bambu Lab has accustomed us to disruptive innovations, and we can't wait to see what the future holds.
