X2D ?

Hello guys!

Im looking to get a printer but im stuck on wich way to follow.

Im completaly new in this world, looking for something for home stuff and action figures or something around modelism.

Looking for something with a nice print quality and a minimum waste

Im stuck between A1, P1S or P2S and X2D, in your oppinion, wich one would you go ?

Obs. The room temp its around 18c and on 70 hr in winter worst days without any climatization.

Thank you.

For great print quality and minimum waste have a look at the Snapmaker U1. 4 head toolchanger so doesn’t have to purge an obscene amount of filament to do multicolour.

Snapmaker U1 on sale would be my choice for multicolor models and general purpose; sounds like a good fit for you. For heavy duty materials with more strength/temperature/chemical resistance than go X2D. The other bambus you mentioned are fine on a strict budget.

Not the p1s as it is end of life and the A1 may catch on fire. X2d can do more for about $100 more than the p2s with better quality because of the belts.

That’s a broad range with little to go on.

Minimal waste for multicolor or like in general? It will all depend on your budget. If you can spend it, go for the U1 if you don’t need it fully enclosed.

X2d out of the box super simple to use. Print all kinds of stuff from the phone on makerworld. Question you wana ask yourself is do you want to print multi color or 1.

X2D. It's okay to have features you might not use now. If you want them later you'll regret not spending the extra cabbage.

So… leaked P3s with the 7 nozzles showed up last week. No idea the release date or prices.

Multi nozzles really helps with less waste. So X2d is the best in the list you provided for low waste. X2d is two nozzles so two colors or two material with little to zero waste.

P2s and x2d will have very similar quality.
