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
- 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
Qidi Max4
- AndroidPCtv (90%): PLA Benchy in 18 minutes with clean layers. A three filament keychain took about 14 hours versus about 2 hours in one filament. Noise about 56 dB, 62 dB with Polar Cooler and 65 dB with QIDI Box. Source
- Nikktech: Golden Award. Called its prints the smoothest the reviewer had tested. Multi color prints wasted roughly 9 times the filament needed for the models. Software glitches blocked timelapse recording. Source
