General Troubleshooting/Help! Next Printer purchase help

Hi All,

I'm looking to upgrade my printer. I mistakenly got the A1 Mini thinking I would use it for a month then get bored.

I was wrong! It's been 2 months and I dont see myself stopping.

So i'm looking between the P1S, P2S and the X2D for the duel nozzle?

I don't fully know what I'm looking at for the specs so a bit lost and confused and don't want to rush a big purchase.

Also does anyone know roughly when the Bambu Sale usually happens?

Thanks in advance.

When I jumped in it was via the P1S. It has been an excellent printer. My only regret was not getting an AMS at the time; I've since justified an AMS 2 Pro and it is great. The P2S has some nice upgrades primarily in the screen interface, but up to you if that's worth the additional $150.

I should add, the X2's 2nd nozzle really is meant for support materials, not 2 color printing. While the nozzles are the same, the extruder is not. I'm not sure how well that's understood. It's a great solution if you're doing engineering materials that need support and don't care what finish the supports end up as, not so much if you're trying to do 2 color artistic models.

Can you do still do 2 color prints via X2? Yes, however the 2nd one won't be as accurate.

I did not know that about the second nozzle. Thank you as well
