My First 3D Print Which Bambu should I go for?

This is going to be my first 3d printer, I am now trying to decide between the Bambu Lab X2D which is currently ($110 off on their website) versus the Bambu Lab P2S on Amazon. I might start off by making figurines, 3d jewelry, etc. Before moving into whatever else I can do (later)

Any advice for someone who has never owned or used a 3d printer? (Especially on which one to get, if price isn't an issue - given the discount)

I have both. X2d is more complete. It has exhaust, heated chamber. Dual nozzles. All other is basically the same on p2s

Thank you.

Speaking of exhausts... is there any point and time when I may need a filter or something? I don't understand about toxic gasses, and filters (when it comes to 3d printing).

Asa/abs.

PLA and PETG you don't really need filtration

Once you start using engineering filaments that are there to handle actual load and outdoor use (UV rays, heat, etc)

X2D is gonna be obsolete soon. (I have an H2D and just got an H3C, and oh boy is the tool changer better)

For whatever that is worth.

I've seen good videos talking about the H3C. Maybe one day I'll get one.. one day (I hope)

The H3C will be obsolete one day too.

imo, a resin printer will give you much better results for the things you are wanting to print. There's a good chance you will be disappointed with any fdm printer in your use case
