## What reviewers found

### Bambu Lab H2D

- Tom's Hardware (Editor's Choice): Called it one of the best printers they had seen. A two color print of 114 parts took 8 h 4 min with about 2.6 g of purge and prime tower waste, versus 6.54 g on a P1P. A Benchy took 21 min 30 s. [Source](https://www.tomshardware.com/3d-printing/bambu-lab-h2d-review)
- TechRadar (4.5/5): Scored 28 of 30 in both print tests. A two filament print took 5 h 27 min versus over 12 hours on an X1C. Noted a small laser work area and an AI camera that can pause prints too readily. [Source](https://www.techradar.com/pro/bambu-lab-h2d-review)

### Creality K2 Pro

- All3DP: Called it difficult to find fault with. ASA printed at a 60 C chamber with no noticeable warping, PLA and PETG printed with the door closed and the CFS handled hundreds of color changes. Downsides were layer inconsistency, weaker rear left overhangs, purge waste and long pre print calibration when enabled. [Source](https://all3dp.com/1/creality-k2-pro-combo-review/)
- The Gadgeteer: Measured about 46 dB but still called the fans noisy. A chainmail print finished with some artifacts where the K2 failed, a full bed helmet printed well and CFS multi color prints had clean lines. Setup needed a helper.
