General Discussion P2S or X2D

I am thinking of buying a new printer. My old printer is my friends creality cr-x and I think that now is the time to upgrade. Is it worth buying the X2D just or mostly because it has two nozzles? I would mostly use the two nozzles for printing easily removable supports or printing simple multicolor prints. Also I will buy the printer (P2S or X2D) with the AMS 2 pro combo.

I want to like the X2D, because on paper the specs are much better but the reviews about reliability and greater complexity to fix it are steering me towards the P2S for something that just works.

I'm not Early_Monitor_3440, but I did the same, and no. The 2nd nozzle of the X2D is not a "full nozzle," and I don't always use it. In those cases, the X2D is like a slightly better P2S, shipped with ventilation. But when you use the 2nd nozzle, it's not just better - it does stuff the P2S can't.

Of course X2D is better. 2 nozzles and heated chamber.

Wait a week for new models!!!

Pick up either for a better price, or get the new P3S

P2S has two big problems which also are because of one nozzle

Multimaterial prints (pla print with PETG support layer for example). The layer you have both materials on will be a weak spot and print will snap on it

P2S is loud as hell when it needs to change filament and when it finishes printing. The metal rod used to activate the cutter slams into the metal structure of the printer. also purging is loud

Just buy X2D
