If you are searching for the X1-Carbon: what to buy now
The X1-Carbon was the printer that made Bambu Lab a serious name — 256 mm cube, CoreXY speed, lidar-assisted first-layer inspection and the AMS multi-colour system. It reached end of life on 31 March 2026 and is no longer manufactured. If you arrived here looking for one to buy, the honest answer is that new stock has gone, and the question is what replaces it.

If you already own an X1-Carbon
The machine keeps working. Bambu Lab’s stated policy for discontinued models is continued spare-parts availability and service support rather than an immediate cut-off, and consumables — nozzles, build plates, AMS parts — remain the practical concern for owners. Talk to us about consumables and spares for machines still in service, and we will tell you what is currently available rather than guess.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Bambu Lab X1-Carbon discontinued?
Yes. It reached end of life on 31 March 2026 and is no longer manufactured by Bambu Lab. Its successor in the current line-up is the Bambu Lab X2D.
Can I still buy a new X1-Carbon in Malaysia?
No new units are being manufactured, so anything offered as new stock is old inventory. Our current range is on the Bambu Lab brand page.
What replaced the X1-Carbon?
The X2D — a dual-nozzle printer with a 300 °C nozzle and an actively heated 65 °C chamber. Where the X1-Carbon’s appeal was lidar-assisted confidence, the X2D’s is two nozzles plus chamber control.
Is the X1-Carbon still supported?
Bambu Lab’s policy for discontinued machines is continued spare parts and service support rather than an immediate end. Ask us about the specific part or consumable you need and we will give you the current position.
Should I buy a P2S or an X2D instead?
If your priority is an enclosed printer for ABS and ASA work at the best value, the P2S. If you want a heated chamber and the ability to run two nozzles — support material or two materials in one print — the X2D. Tell us what you print and we will say which one fits.
Do you take X1-Carbon machines in part exchange?
Not as a formal programme. Talk to us if you are replacing a working machine — we will advise on the practical options rather than promise something we cannot deliver.
