What reviewers found
Bambu Lab P2S
- Tom's Hardware: Editor's Choice. A 20 hour PETG carbon fiber game board, a 3 h 12 min ABS top and a 6 h 46 min TPU handbag on a 0.8 mm nozzle all printed without clogs. Chamber held about 33 C. The only con listed was AMS filament waste. Source
- Hackster: Called it a new generation of the P1S rather than a new model. Liked the touchscreen, better camera with failure detection and tool free nozzle swaps, but saw no clear print quality gain over the P1S and noted no active chamber heating. Source
Flashforge Adventurer 5M Pro
- 3DPrint.com: A full volume ASA print took 24 h 44 min with no warping and a 100 mm cube measured 99.70 x 99.71 x 100.02 mm. Measured 68 dB average and 79 dB max. Ran with 100% uptime over a month; TPU needed 30 to 40 mm/s. Source
- 3Dnatives (9.5/10): Scored 9.5/10 with 10/10 for print quality. Auto calibration took about 15 minutes with no manual input. Cons were a confusing slicer transition, small build volume, no multi material and a rear mounted spool. Source
