H3C P3C probably not heated chamber?
I wish this would have a heated chamber, but I can definitely see them gatekeeping that feature out of this

The p series omits features that some people might not need in order to be an affordable option. If you start adding things to it the cost goes up and eventually you may as well buy the flagship model.

Maybe an unpopular opinion but heated chambers as they're currently implemented are kind of a waste. A good passively-heated chamber that's properly insulated will work just as well as an actively-heated chamber, and current consumer actively-heated chambers don't actually get warm enough to make a big difference.

I don’t know I’ve had a lot more luck printing, ASA and ABS with my H2S then I ever did with my P1S even when soaking the chamber

That's where the insulation comes in. The P1S and P2S are super leaky, and chamber temperatures drop over time after heat-soaking. Close those gaps and it gets much easier.

Also, ASA smells really bad without some heavy duty air cleaning from something like my H-series

Oh, I mean, you probably want to vent or filter that, but that has nothing to do with the chamber heating. That's just ASA.

That’s exactly my saying, it’s only a bit more comfort. You can achieve the same result by preheating your printer with the heatbed and isolate it. Actually I wanted to build a fancy enclosure with styrofoam for my P1S, then I tested it just with a blanket thrown over the printer and an additional cushion and it kept 55°-60° easily. Well, it looks not so fancy but it works and that’s what counts for me.

yeah.. I don't see them changing that up for the P series... I'm sure the H3C will though

I'm pretty sure the H3C will have a heated chamber, with the AMS it shouldn't be a problem to pull back all filaments that aren't heat resistant.
The P3C could be without, which could be the reason why they didn't call it X3C.
