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
Qidi Q2
- Tom's Hardware: Reached 370 C nozzle, 120 C bed and 65 C chamber. Printed PA11 CF, PC and ABS-GF parts without warping. The QIDI Box jammed repeatedly and fed only one filament in multi color tests. Source
- TechRadar (4.5/5): Ran for about six months with no issues. Scored 29 of 30 in print tests with an average XY error of 0.128 mm. First layer never needed manual adjustment. Source
