Bambu Lab updates its X series with the X2D, a desktop printer that features a dual-nozzle system to separate the model material from the support material. With a starting price of $649, it promises to reduce post-processing and filament waste. The idea is clear: one nozzle for what you take home and another for what you throw away, making life easier for the user.
Mechanical change without extra motor for greater stability 🛠️
The X2D design avoids adding an additional motor for movement between nozzles. Instead, it uses a mechanical system that alternates between them, reducing vibrations and improving stability during printing. The dedicated support nozzle allows supports to be removed without damaging the final surface of the object, a practical advance for those who prefer to spend less time with a file and more time seeing results. It all sounds very efficient on paper.
Goodbye to fights with supports, hello to inner peace 😌
Finally, a printer that understands you hate ripping off supports with pliers while cursing out loud. The X2D separates the infill material from the model, so your parts come out clean and you save on band-aids. Of course, don't expect it to also separate your laundry or take out the trash. For $649, at least you won't need therapy anymore because of a poorly adhered support.
