Bambu AMS vs AMS 2 Pro

Last updated:

Bambu’s AMS accessories are about workflow, not just color. The older AMS is the established multicolor box; AMS 2 Pro is the newer choice to verify against your printer and filament workflow.

Short answer: Choose the AMS when compatibility and proven availability matter; consider AMS 2 Pro when its newer workflow features match your exact printer and filament needs.
