Bambu Lab P2S vs Qidi Tech Q2 Combo
Technical comparison · Fused filament fabrication (FFF/FDM)
The P2S and the Q2 Combo are both enclosed CoreXY printers from the same year and price bracket, but the Q2 Combo builds in multicolor and pushes nozzle temperature higher. The choice comes down to how much those two things matter against a real price saving.

| Software notes | The official slicer is Bambu Studio, available for macOS, Windows, and Linux. The printer also accepts standard G-code exported from third-party slicers such as PrusaSlicer, SuperSlicer, and Cura, though certain advanced Bambu-specific features — including RFID-based filament detection and some automatic calibration modes — are only available within Bambu Studio. Remote control is handled via the Bambu Handy mobile app and desktop app; push notifications require cloud connectivity. | Natively compatible with QIDI Studio, a slicing software based on PrusaSlicer and Orca Slicer, which ensures an efficient workflow for multi-color management. It also supports other third-party slicers, providing users with excellent flexibility. Built-in Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity facilitate remote job submission and monitoring. |
The differences that matter
- Nozzle temperature: up to 370 °C on the Q2 Combo against 300 °C on the P2S — decides which technical materials are printable.
- Multicolor: built in on the Q2 Combo, needs the separately bought AMS on the P2S.
- Firmware: native Klipper only on the Q2 Combo.
- Price: €519 for the P2S, about €650 for the Q2 Combo — the Q2 Combo costs about €130 more.
Which one to choose
Choose P2S if…
Anyone printing PLA, PETG and standard ABS without needing extreme temperatures stays at €519, the lower price of the two. Multicolor is still available with the separately bought AMS, but the nozzle tops out at 300 °C.
Choose Q2 Combo if…
For materials like PC or nylon, the Q2 Combo's nozzle reaches up to 370 °C (manufacturer-declared figures) against the P2S's 300 °C, and multicolor is built in without extra accessories. Native Klipper firmware also opens the door to manual tuning, for a higher price.
