Bambu Lab X2D
Announced in April 2026 as the replacement for the discontinued X1 Carbon, the X2D takes the two features that used to define the H-series — an actively heated chamber and a second nozzle — and puts them in a 256 mm cube at $649. The chamber drives to 65 °C, which is the difference between ABS that warps and ABS that does not, and there is a Cool mode that vents it for PLA. Bambu pitches the second nozzle mainly at support — the main nozzle prints the part while the auxiliary one lays support in its own material, which then peels away clean — but it also prints a second colour or material, such as TPU alongside PLA, without a full purge at every change. Against the X1 Carbon it replaces, it drops the lidar-based first-layer inspection in favour of eddy-current sensing and adds the chamber heater, for several hundred dollars less than the X1C launched at.

Real speed ceiling
500 mm/s
40 mm³/s ÷ (0.4 mm × 0.2 mm) = 500 mm/s. The X2D is advertised at 1000 mm/s, so the hotend can feed 50% of the headline figure. An estimate for a straight line at the hotend’s rated flow — real prints are slower again.
Best forPrinting ABS, ASA and nylon properly without stepping up to an H-series price.

Features
- Actively heated chamber to 65 °C with a Cool mode for PLA
- Second nozzle for support or a second material, switched inside the toolhead
- 300 °C hardened-steel nozzle and a 120 °C bed for engineering materials
- Eddy-current flow sensing and dynamic flow calibration
- Pairs with AMS 2 Pro for four-colour printing
What it does well
- Publishes a 40 mm³/s hotend flow figure, so the 1,000 mm/s headline can actually be checked
- Second nozzle prints support in its own material and cuts the purge waste of two-material prints
- Direct successor to the X1C with the chamber heater the X1C never had
- Keeps LAN-only operation
Where it gives ground
- 256 mm cube is small for a machine aimed at engineering parts that warp
- The published 40 mm³/s feeds about 500 mm/s of line speed — half the 1,000 mm/s headline
- Too new for long-term reliability data
- Loses the X1C's lidar first-layer inspection
