Our verdict on each
Bambu Lab
Bambu Lab suits makers who want printing, laser engraving and cutting from one maker, and the €189 entry point keeps the first machine reachable. What you trade is cover and help: warranty runs 1 to 2 years, and support lists help centre and community only.
LONGER
LONGER suits makers who want filament printing, resin printing and laser engraving from a single supplier, so a workshop can cover prototyping and marking rather than splitting them up. The laser line pairs 40 W of output with a 450 mm work area and 600 mm/s movement speed.

Pros and cons
Bambu Lab
Pros
- One maker covers three machine types: fdm printer, laser engraver and cutting machine runs from FDM printers to a laser engraver and a cutting machine.
- Entry at €189 sits below the €262.21 median for FDM printers, though above the €156.98 median for laser engravers and cutters.
- Multi colour and Enclosed are both yes, and a 350 mm build volume with 600 mm/s covers functional parts as well as display models.
Cons
- Warranty runs 1 to 2 years, short of the 3 years on offer at the top of the FDM printer field.
- Support runs on help centre and community only, so phone and chat are not among the listed channels.
- The 350 mm build volume is a mid sized chamber, well under the 1,800 mm the largest printers in our data reach.
LONGER
Pros
- Build size of 450 mm ranks 9 of 23 in the site's build size comparison.
- Movement speed of 600 mm/s pairs with 40 W of output on the listed laser.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre, giving email, phone, a help centre and community routes.
Cons
- The listed laser is not enclosed, so extraction and fume control sit outside the frame.
- Shipping covers US only, so buyers in other markets sit outside the listed policy.
- Warranty of 1 year is a shorter term than the longest warranty years in the printer category, 3.
Who each suits
Bambu Lab
Who it suits
- Makers who want printing, laser engraving and cutting under one account, since fdm printer, laser engraver and cutting machine covers all three.
- Buyers who put multi colour and an enclosed chamber ahead of a long warranty, given cover of 1 to 2 years.
- Shoppers in the European markets on the shipping list, where delivery is free above the €55 to €119 threshold.
Who should look elsewhere
- Makers who want resin printing or scanning, since fdm printer, resin printer and 3d scanner adds resin printers and scanners to the FDM line.
- Buyers who want a plain FDM range without laser and cutting machines, since fdm printer lists FDM printers only.
- Shoppers who want one distributor for FDM printers and scanners instead of a maker brand, since fdm printer and 3d scanner covers both.
LONGER
Who it suits
- Makers who want filament, resin and laser work from a single supplier
- Buyers who want phone and email help as well as a help centre
- US shoppers, since the shipping policy lists US
Who should look elsewhere
- SOVOL, for filament printing with no laser work, since its listed range is fdm printer.
- MatterHackers, when a scanner or a cutting machine is wanted alongside the printer, since its listed types are fdm printer, resin printer and 3d scanner.
- Farnell, for a printing only catalogue, since its range is fdm printer and 3d scanner.

Questions about each
Bambu Lab
What does the cheapest Bambu Lab machine cost?+
Entry pricing starts at €189 on the European store, which is under the €262.21 median for FDM printers in our data. It is a price for hardware rather than a tier, so there is no renewal figure to plan around and your total is the machine plus consumables. Compare it with other machine prices, not with plan fees.
How long is the Bambu Lab warranty?+
Warranty runs 1 to 2 years, so each machine is covered for a fixed term after purchase. That is shorter than the 3 years carried by the longest warranty in the FDM printer field, which matters if a failure would stop output rather than delay a hobby print. Read the term before committing to a larger machine.
LONGER
What does a LONGER machine cost to start with?+
Machines start from $109.99, listed on the laser engraver side of the catalogue. That figure is the price of the machine itself, and no renewal charge is listed alongside it, so the budget is a one off purchase. On the site's price ranking the brand sits at 5 of 27, among the cheaper entry points compared here.
How long is the warranty on a LONGER machine?+
The published warranty term is 1 year. That places the brand at 5 of 20 on the site's warranty comparison, above the middle of the field. Buyers who expect a machine to run for years can weigh that term against the longest warranty years in the printer category, 3.
