P2S comes close to the 4 year old flagship X1C but it is quite a bit worse and cutting corners in several ways.
Ditching the carbon rails, and making the motion system heavier is cutting corners at the expense of quality and speed and especially quality at speed.
They have to do a lot of input shaping and other software magic to get up to the same speeds, and from what I have seen quality is still worse.
The eddie current flow sensor is far inferior to lidar.
Even under ideal conditions its not really precise and even if it were it would measure flow before the nozzle, but whats on the bed is what counts.
Thats like measuring air speed for your car instead of wheel revolutions.
Makes sense for plane but doesnt really show what the wheels are doing on the street.
Nozzle swaps are more convenient, if you do that a lot, but who does really?
On price the P2S is the clear winner, but for the same price I would still pick the old X1C, its the better machine.
And I would buy a X2C over H2C even if it were the same machine just smaller.
The last thing you want in a 3D printer is big moving masses, bigger gets exponentially worse. But they make it because the loudest people cry for it.
Times are gone where 3D printing was dominated by engineers, programmers, crafty and smart people. Bambu made it really accessible, which has its up and down sides. Money talks, and flexi dragon printers are a loud crowd. Half the people owning a printer probably dont know CAD today, which makes zero sense. Its like Having a car and no drivers license, but using it for listening to music and chilling on nice seats in an air conditioned space.
I would love to see something like a Voron 0 or a delta from Bambu, something really fast and it can be small 150 mm is completely fine for 90% of prints.
