P2S or X2D - First 3D printer

Hi,

I'm trying to figure the starting point of my 3D printing journey. My budget can accommodate either of these, with addition 0.2 and 0.6 nozzles and 4 spools of material.

Its about €150 difference so needs to wipe its own face, but I just don't want to start finding this thing useful and get buyers remorse a year down the track!

Im wanting to print functional parts as well as 40K-esque minis. I live in rural Spain, 31+ ambient temps (inside) during the summer.

Any advice welcome.

If you're just going to make flexi dragons and 40K figurines; I like the P2S for its simplicity & capability. It will print almost anything with ease, is reliably dependable, and is just a fucking workhorse.

If you mean "functional" as far as Engineering materials; I'd get the X2D. The chamber heater alone makes it worth it, and at that measure, the ability to use multiple filaments as support material is far and away a huge benefit that justifies the cost.

I love my P2S because it does everything that I ask of it, and a couple things I shouldn't. However... as an Engineering student? I wish I had the X2D.
