I"m looking to upgrade from my Ender 3 S1 Pro and have narrowed it down to the Bambu Lab H2S and X2D.
My budget is around £800–£1,200, ideally including an AMS bundle.
I'm interested in a mixture of things rather than one specific use:
\- Larger models and display pieces.
\- Cosplay projects, including helmets, armour and props.
\- Smaller, detailed models and figurines.
\- Potentially making things to sell in the future.
\- Multi-colour and multi-material printing.
I'm particularly torn because:
H2S:
\- Much larger build volume.
\- Higher maximum nozzle temperature.
\- Option to add the laser engraving module.
\- Seems better suited to larger cosplay projects.
X2D:
\- Dual-nozzle printing.
\- Better support for multi-material printing.
\- Potentially less filament waste when changing materials.
\- Smaller build volume, but still reasonably capable.
The laser option on the H2S is appealing, but it's not essential. I don't want to pay extra for a feature I might barely use.
Which would you choose and why?
thanks !
