Bambu Lab 3D Printers See 40% Price Hike in the US, While Some Chinese Brands Hold Steady

The latest model from Bambu Lab, the H2D, was officially launched on March 25, 2025. According to American enthusiasts in contact with Panda3dp.com, the current situation is as follows:  

The starting price for the dual-extruder, non-laser version of the Bambu H2D in the US has risen from $1,899 to $2,699 (approximately 19,700 RMB), reflecting a price hike of 23%. In contrast, the printer is priced at just 13,999 RMB in China. The American retail price is now 40% higher than its Chinese counterpart, with deliveries expected no earlier than May 7.  

Meanwhile, the 40W laser-equipped 3D printer version is now listed at $4,399 (around 32,000 RMB), which exceeds its anticipated price by $500 to $900. In China, however, it remains at an accessible 22,999 RMB. This represents a near 40% premium for US customers — and the model is reportedly out of stock as well.  

“Prices for Bambu have surged sharply in the US, with some platforms marking them up even further. Yet enthusiasts still seem willing to pay the price,” one American 3D printing hobbyist told Panda3dp.com. “Strangely though, several other desktop 3D printers in the US haven’t seen their prices rise — some have even dropped. I honestly don’t get it. With tariffs this steep, how are these companies managing? Even if they shipped inventory to US warehouses before the tariffs hit, what happens when that stock runs out? Will they stop selling altogether, or eventually jack up prices by 245% too?”  

Interestingly, former President Trump himself appears to be wavering on his tariff stance, suggesting there may be another policy shift on the horizon.
