I’m Conflicted

Ive got the H2D, H2S, P2S and A1. The quality and speed is basically the same across all of them. Don't worry about wanting to upgrade in the future, you'll want multiple printers 😉 The P2S or X2D (the only one I havent got) is a fantastic printers if a 256mm bed is good enough, which fits 98% of stuff! The H2 series are overpriced unless you REALLY need that bigger bed, or very specialist engineering materials. I love the H2S its my main workhorse, but I print ridiculously big things. If you got a P2S or X2D you wouldnt regret your decision one bit. Make sure you get the AMS and lots of PLA its a great hobby youll love. Once you order, start browsing makerworld and collecting stuff you like. Might I suggest my own model of Bookfinity to start with 😁 https://makerworld.com/models/1978845

I Tested 3 3D Printers! Which is best?!

This printer was one of three single tool head printers compared for out-of-box print quality using generic filament profiles. The specific performance results for this printer were not revealed in the provided transcript.

About to buy a H2S

I have an H2S, I recommend getting at least the H2D for your use case and skipping the laser entirely. Why H2D: The H2S takes longer to switch filaments than a dual nozzle printer or a multi-nozzle printer liker the H2S, meaning multicolor prints take significantly longer. They also generate purge waste, which is annoying and adds up the more colors or materials you want to use. Even if you settle and say "Okay, I just won't do multicolor", this still doesn't help because supports are another major use case for multi material. You will get far, far cleaner prints and support removing experiences if you can use an interface material, but this also counts as a filament change. I got an H2S as my first Serious Printer after messing around with printing years ago on cheaper machines, and I am now upgrading it (with the Vortek kit) to an H2C. I regret that I did not originally buy an H2D. Why not laser: IMO combining laser cutting and 3D printing in one device is a terrible idea; just because the hardware can, doesn't mean it should. The reason is straightforward, you get a lot more wear & tear and accumulation of soot and smoke residues and such. Go read the article on H2 maintenance/cleaning and then imagine how much harder it would be if you had to clean out smoke residues. Ever seen the inside of a well-used smoker? Yeah... you get the idea. TL;DR Save the money on the H2S Laser and get the H2D AMS combo instead, it's on sale for the same price. If I was smart I would've bought the H2D instead of an H2S.

Bambu Lab H2C vs H2S: Purge Waste Efficiency Test

The H2S, while producing clean prints, generates a massive amount of purge waste and takes significantly longer for multi-color prints due to its single-nozzle system.

Starting my 3D printing journey, need help buying my first printer

Snapmaker u1 is my favourite printer atm, moreso than my H2S that was nearly double the price. Only thing i’ll say is that I love the big bed of my H2S for single color prints. Makes helmet making etc a breeze.
