What reviewers found
Bambu Lab H2S
- The Gadgeteer: Ran the H2S AMS 2 Pro combo for about a month, often around the clock. First calibration took about 30 minutes, PETG CF prints finished well and the AMS 2 Pro was nearly error free. Downsides were purge waste on multi color jobs and the pricey optional Vision Encoder. Source
- CGMagazine (8/10): Called it refined and reliable. Real world print times were about 20 to 30% shorter than typical fast CoreXY profiles and aggregated XY error measured under 0.5 mm. Multi color prints ran a few hours longer than on the H2D on day long jobs, with considerable purge waste. Source
Creality K2 Pro
- 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. Source
- 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
