I bought this combo from them before the X2D came out and got it no problem (sold it on Marketplace so I could buy the X2D-- but now I want a second printer so I'm getting it again 😅)
Also worked for me on the X2D. Thanks for mentioning this in the thread or else I might not have tried it!
I was about to buy one anyway, so this is great. I'm glad I waited a night to sleep on it.
I also want to buy ~$150 of accessories and filament. Bambu provides some nice bundling discounts for buying them with a printer, but not enough to beat the $100 discount here (I checked and it was only ~$25 off).
P2s or X2D?? Newbie here and trying to get into this hobby. Going to return my ps5 for this
Asked Claude too and hope other can make an informed decision
Since you said price isn't a factor and you're brand new to 3D printing: **go with the P2S.**
Here's why, given your situation:
- **Single nozzle = simpler learning curve.** The X2D's dual-nozzle workflow (assigning materials per nozzle, managing prime towers) has a real learning curve — even experienced reviewers note the filament-assignment logic "still needs work." As a first printer, that's friction you don't need yet.
- **The P2S isn't a "lesser" machine** — it shares the same extruder architecture, AMS 2 Pro compatibility, and build volume as the X2D's main nozzle. It's quieter than expected, has a genuinely good touchscreen, and you'll be printing confidently within an hour of unboxing.
- **The X2D's advantages are workflow-specific**, not beginner-relevant: soluble supports without purge waste, faster multi-color prints, and better air filtration . These matter once you *know* you need multi-material, dissolvable supports, or engineering-grade materials (nylon, ASA) — not on day one.
- The P2S is simpler to maintain due to its straightforward setup, while the X2D needs a bit more attention in return for its flexibility.
**When you'd want the X2D instead:** if you already know you'll be doing multi-color figurines/props regularly, printing engineering materials that need a hotter, better-ventilated chamber, or need clean dissolvable supports for complex geometry. None of that is typical "learning to 3D print" territory.
Start with the P2S, get comfortable with slicing/printing basics, and if you hit a real wall (not a hypothetical one), the X2D or an upgrade path will make a lot more sense to you by then.
