I tested the Bambu Lab X2D, and this dual-nozzle FDM 3D printer delivers exceptional print quality, material compatibility, and all at a superb price

Bambu Lab X2D.

Lifting the X2D out of the box, and first impressions are that this looks and feels like a smaller H2D. In reality, it reflects the design of all Bambu Lab's recent machines with the all-metal frame, matte dark finish, and enclosed glass-fronted chamber. There’s no doubt that this is a premium machine and successor to the X1C.

Weight-wise, this machine isn’t light, and at 16.25kg it feels solid and completely in line with the H2 series, just without the huge footprint, and for once leaving me a little more space in the workshop. This is a far more practical option for most studios where those larger H2 machines really do dominate the space. I positioned the X2D next to an H2D just to give a sense of scale of this smaller but no less impressive-looking machine.
