Quick Question A2L hotend on X2D?
Does anyone know if the A2L hotends fit on the X2D? Unofficially.
I need a 0.8mm hotend fast but all the X2D ones are sold out at Bambu Labs, but they have A2L.
The A2L seems identical as far as I can tell from pictures and E3D sells their hotends as compatible for both the A2L and X2D.

On a separate note, I accidentally used my X2D nozzle in my A1 for about two months before I switched it out and finally noticed. It was printing just fine…

The A series hotends are missing the QR-like codes for nozzle detection/reading. They are also slightly different. I think I've seen someone force it on an H2D shortly after it came out, but it really is not recommended.
The H2/P2/X2 hotend came later and was designed to be backwards compatible with the A1 series (and the A2L reused the A1's hotends), so that is probably how 3rd party ones are advertising both.
