Are 2nd gen BL printers less reliable than 1st gen?

Ah, @AlexM made a post where everything kinda clicks together. The woes of owning an X2D

Seems like another instance where the person wanted an H2C but decided to go with X2D, imagining multicolor prints with a printer that primarily was made to handle aux support material…

I, probably the last person, who would say anything in favor of BL, but that’s just unreasonable bashing of a product that was never even meant to do that reliably and good.
