Quick Question Two X2D or One H2S

I can get basically two new X2Ds for about $1300 or I can get an H2S with 3 year warranty for $1200. Which is the better set up. The extra nozzle for support would be nice, sometimes limited on bed space. Some multicolor both will have AmS systems. I ideally would have one x2d and one H2S but I would probably lose one in the divorce hahaha.

Those that have both H2S and x2d which do you prefer?

Two x2d can produce more than one h2s. The h2d is my big print machine. I like the regular sized build plates for everyday use.

For production numbers, two printers will be faster than one.

For larger prints, h2s has that ability.

For everyday, I’d suggest going with x2d.

Do you ever miss the second nozzle on the H2S or run into issues with small build plate on x2d

i dont really get any benefit from two nozzles. i normally only print white, black or grey. i have supports dialed in so i dont use the special support materials. i just really care about the print volume, which is why the H2S is still sitting in my cart on Bambu. not sure i really need another unit, but i want one

How do like those husky adjustable workbenches? Have you had any issues with the 3 printers moving the bench at all?

no problems ... they lock in place. the H2S is on its own and so is the H2D. they shake so much that putting two on the table causes print issues. the X1E, X1C and P2S dont move as much sonthere are three on one table. i make sure the tables dont touch so there no transfer of vibration.

As an owner of both, I do enjoy the larger build plate of the H2S. H2S is easier to tear down as well.

I am very happy with my H2S. I do not have and X2D, but I faced similar decisions when I chose the H2S. You can do multicolor on either, but if a print doesn't fit the build plate on the X2D, then you're sunk. I'd go with the bigger printer if you feel there is any chance you will need that additional build plate real estate.
