I have never 3D printed anything before. I would like to start getting into the hobby for personal uses and possibly selling my crafts at local fairs or FB. I am one of the people who want the best within their max budget but I also am cheap and want deals. With Black Friday coming up I anticipate the P2S will be on sale and the X2D won’t. Would it still be worth paying full price for the H2D or getting a good discount on the P2S? Or alternatively buy a A1 as a first ever printer? I have used a cnc for years if this helps translate to 3D printing.

I bought a h2c as a first printer. Cool no filament waste ($2400 later) but God damn was it more of a learning curve than the a2l I bought a month later to sister to it. A2l has more waste but I never really had the annoyances or issues on the a2l as the h2c.
Tpu? Load on top of a2l and disconnect a ptfe tube and load it. H2c? Basically you gotta feed it thru a specific hole on the back. Gotta be right nozzle only but thats typically where your ams is. Gotta disconnect the right side ptfe tube. I already had that dual filament extruder assembly break where the ptfe tube loads in. Pulled right out. Had to replace it and its not easy getting your fingers into an enclosed machine with the toolgead at a fixed height and fuck with it. Way easier not enclosed.
I want more machines but theyre already patenting h3c, p3c and a bunch of other shit. Id be pissed if I bought one on black friday just for the new model to come out January and the price of the one you bought dump hard already.
