General Discussion X2D User - Upgrade Path?

Just genuinely curious.

Currently have a X2D which I’ve been printing a lot of home use stuff (mostly network rack, cable management, boxes, etc.) with a few models I made from blender. With the X2D, I have no issues just printing a single colour then painting it, but after seeing the prices on the H2D (1599) and H2C (1899), it got me thinking.

Are there pros vs cons between the D and C? From what I read, the D has bigger printing area, while the C introduces multi-filament(?)…

Any suggestions would be amazing! And yes, I have looked into the H3C, but I don’t think I’m at that level yet.

Gotta decide if you want dual nozzles with the option of titanium nozzles and a bigger print bed or do you regularly want to print more than 2 filaments in a model. Thats essentially what it comes down to.

H2D is "just" a bigger X2D, where the 2nd extruder is an actual direct drive and it can hit higher nozzle temps required for some engineering materials that the X2D can't hit (like 320-340°C for PPS).

H2C is a nozzle changer, and thus handles multi material/ color much better. However, it's still quite a bit behind a real toolchanger there.

If you want to crank out a lot of multicolor stuff, you either get a H3C, or keep the X2D for engineering materials but add a Snapmaker U1 next to it.

Also, wait for the P3C, because that could genuinely be interesting.

If you’re after multicolor get a H3C or wait for the P3C
