Anyone have any two colour prints using both hotends?
Bonjour, Je suis propriétaire d’une X1C et d’une P2s et franchement pas beaucoup de différences. Je suis le débat pour voire les avis de la X2c, mais je ne suis pas convaincu que se soit une véritable innovation, mêmes dimensions même plateau. Je suppose que l’on va nous vendre de L ‘ IA soit disant meilleurs qu’avant…..
The specifications of the X2D are public, if you don’t need the improvements over the P2S then the X2D is not for you. Which is good for your wallet and the environment.
Some people want that second nozzle, the X2D is ment for them.
And that’s awesome, it sounds like YOU are the type of user this was built for. However I don’t think they’re making that clear in marketing. For those of us that don’t run a print farm, and only dabble in engineering prints occasionally, my $900 is probably better spent elsewhere. I *wish* Bambu had a true tool changer in the sub-$1k category, and maybe on day they will, but by that time the market will have several players, with Snapmaker having had a huge lead on them in development, maturity, and user adoption.
The second nozzle seem to me to be made very clear in the marketing, but I guess we are all different. The guy I had replied to apparently hadn’t seen anything else than the improved AI.
Anyhow, I would also like a tool changer, a INDX style in particular. But that doesn’t challenge the existence of the X2D.
I feel like Bambu literally made the X2D for me. It’s exactly what I wanted.
Can you make an engineering grade printer that has a 2nd nozzle for support material, has a heated chamber, can print most common engineering filaments, can utilize my large collection of existing 256mm build plates, has upgraded kinematics, and fits it the same footprint as my X1C. Oh, could you also make it cheap enough so that when I sell my X1C combo for 650 dollars it will be a no-cost upgrade? Thanks!
Same here! Been waiting for this exact type of machine from BL for a very long time. I printed a few days.., very impressed with everything, then ordered 3 more combos which is not far off the price for a single H2C. Just an insane value there.
Very happy!
I suppose the noise is the same as the P2S, the construction being similar, but if anyone have both and could give an opinion on that it would be neat.
I’m thinking in particular of the knocking sound the Z-hops do and that doesn’t reduce when lowering print speed (you end up with just the z knock if speed is low enough).
Don’t have one to compare.., but I can tell you it seems just as quiet, if not quieter than H2Cs & H2Ds. I’m always hearing fan noise because of high temp prints.., but the steppers are very quiet for sure.
it definitely is quieter than the P2S - them bolting the heater and heater fan, aux extruder, air filter and attaching the glass to the sides make the side panels and back panel less like drum skins. My H2D is quieter though.
Bambu Lab is to 3D printing what Apple is to smartphones. Then, there’s everyone else. With one key difference: unlike Apple, BBL’s business model is based on high-volume sales of high-quality machines.
There are two main categories of makers: those who do multi-color printing and those who do multi-material printing.
Same here, I only do functional prints, no multi-color. I only use one main spool of engineering-grade filament.
I used to have a Tenlog IDEX that allowed me to do duplication printing and use dedicated support filament. Since its release, I’ve been using an A1; the H2D is too expensive and wouldn’t really be useful for me.I sold my AMS lite since it wasn’t really useful, and replaced it with a filament dryer; the direct drive is able to pull the filament through a PTFE tube.
This new XD2 combines the advantages of dual nozzles, CoreXY motion, and a heated enclosure. I’m still waiting for review and comparison videos, but for now, it’s the one that interests me the most.
You think? From what I have seen of past Bambu printers, a fair amount of modding is still possible. I’ve never seen an Apple modded anything.
It feels to me that BL is trying to be apple-like. Maybe not quite the same, but the intention is clear.
There are a few others that are a bit farther away from that, but would like to be closer.
And then there are the companies like Android - Mostly open and the kind of equipment people who like to mess around with stuff enjoy.
I like Bambu Lab printers because they tend to be solid, and have resigned myself to using their ecosystem. It’s somewhat rigid, but It works for me.
I like Prusa because of the practical engineering. I believe connect is the best farm management system out there, and that makes sense, as I believe they operate the largest print-farm in the world at the moment.
I like Snapmaker (for now) because of the open nature of their U1. Not sure about their previous products, but the custom firmware builds upon the released firmware to make it so much better.
All approaches can exist.
It’s perfect for that type of printing. Fom, i do alot of multi color prints so it’s not something I’m interested in
It’s an analogy for their product philosophy: closed ecosystems that are incompatible with most other brands—much like iOS vs. Android, macOS vs. Windows, or MacBooks vs. PCs. It’s all about that sleek design and their proprietary software over open-source alternatives.
Love my new printers. Sold my Prusa. I did have a brief interaction with support that was terrible though
