How the two machines differ on paper: build volume, process, enclosure, nozzle temperature, launch year and the materials each manufacturer names. This is a specification comparison, not a hands-on test.

Published specifications don't settle print quality, reliability or noise. Compare the exact configuration, bundled accessories, regional price and support with each manufacturer, and check that the materials you need are supported on the configuration you'd buy.

P-series filament printer with a 256 mm cubic build volume.
P2S uses a flap-controlled airflow system and servo extrusion monitoring. The launch description distinguishes outside-air cooling from heat retention inside the enclosure; it does not establish an actively heated chamber temperature.
Full sourced profileEnclosed X1-series filament printer with a 300°C hotend.
The technical sheet specifies hardened-steel extrusion gears and nozzle, an activated-carbon filter, lidar and a chamber camera. Filament odometry is an AMS-dependent option. The quoted 32 mm³/s hotend flow was measured using Bambu ABS at 280 °C on a 150 × 150 mm single-wall model; it is not a general flow guarantee for every filament.
