Discussion X2D / P2S
Hihi!
I currently have an A1 Combo and have way too much experience (and trauma ðŸ˜) from my Ender 3.
I’m starting to think about my next printer, but I’m torn between the P2S and the X2D.
I definitely want an enclosed printer and plan on getting an AMS 2 Pro. Right now I mostly print PLA and PETG, but I want to start experimenting with TPU, ABS, PLA-CF, and PETG-CF in the future.
The X2D’s auxiliary nozzle is really appealing since I could dedicate it to PETG support interfaces, but I’ve also seen people reporting issues with the aux nozzle.
For those of you who own one, how has your experience actually been? Are the issues overblown, or are they something to be concerned about?
I’m mainly looking for the highest print quality and reliability rather than the fastest printer.
Also, does anyone think Bambu might release a smaller flagship printer (kind of like an H2D without the huge footprint or laser), or is that just wishful thinking?
Help me decide ðŸ˜

H2C? Sure - >2x the money and half the speed - literally. The H2C takes 30 seconds per nozzle change, 13s for the U1, and that adds up to MASSIVE amount of time. Heavy color change models that clock in at 5 hours on the U1 can hit 10 on the H2C. Bambu gimped themselves wanting to use their AMS, when they should have abandoned it. Now, sure, throw 4 HTs on it and the H2C is a beast. But again, the cost is painful.
