Bambu Lab P2S vs Bambu Lab X2D
- Build volume is effectively the same on both, near 16.8 L.
- Per litre, the P2S is the cheaper space at $33 against $38.
- Only the X2D publishes a flow rate (40 mm³/s, roughly 500 mm/s of line speed), so the other's speed claim cannot be checked.
- Only the X2D drives its chamber (to 65 °C), which is the difference that matters for large ABS and ASA parts.
