Strengths

  • Second nozzle for dedicated support or second material
  • Active chamber heating to 65 °C for ABS/ASA/nylon
  • G3 pre-filter + H12 HEPA + activated carbon filtration
  • Two cameras (chamber + toolhead) for AI monitoring and calibration
  • UL 2904 indoor-air certification claimed for Bambu PLA Basic and PETG Basic

Things to consider

  • Auxiliary nozzle is slightly lower quality and has a narrower material list
  • 16.25 kg; recommended printer space 500×700×850 mm
  • No Ethernet port
  • US page lists 100–120 V; buy the regional version

Who it suits

Experienced makers wanting multi-material and engineering-filament printing in one enclosed machine.

Buying in the UK

Bambu Lab's launch post (14 Apr 2026) lists a UK price including VAT, so the X2D is sold to UK buyers; UK store page not readable from our location (geo-redirect).
