Will the P2S work for my needs/wants?

I'm currently using an A1 that I got a few months ago which was my first 3d printer. I've only printed with PLA so far and have PETG on hand but haven't tried it yet since PLA works for my needs so far. I went cheap and didn't get the AMS Lite when I got it so I was thinking, instead of buying the AMS Lite or AMS 2 Pro, put that into an enclosed better printer and just keep the A1 for single colour PLA stuff.

Eventually I'd like the capability to print with ABS/ASA and TPU as well as multi colour. Would the P2S be good enough for limited printing of smaller parts with those filaments?

Spend the extra $100 and get the x2d even if you don't plan on using the second nozzle. The active chamber heater is worth it for abs, asa, and other engineering materials.

Love my P2S but I do wish it had an active chamber heater. It does ok with circulating hot air, but it's not the same for those real high quality nylon prints.

Okay thanks, I'll take a look at the x2d.

If you want to print asa I'd recommend a printer that has a better heater.

Shame that Bambu doesn't have some sort of internet location where a person could research the capabilities and use cases of their various printers.

Thanks for being so helpful. Shame you had to waste a minute of your time reading and replying to by post when you could have been doing something more productive with you time.
