“A lovely little printer that's priced against much newer machines.”

P2S
“If someone asks me for one printer to buy, this is usually it.”
Will’s take Top pick
The short version
- The P2S holds 2.9× the build volume.
- The P2S handles up to 20 colours; the other is single-colour.
- Only the P2S is enclosed, which matters for ABS, ASA and indoor use.
