There are a lot of printers today that do better or similar, depending on what type of filament you are planning to print with, bambu really shine(d) (don't know about current generation) with pla especially with their own branded one. I'm currently enjoying small farm of elegoo centauri carbons, they have their own issues but print quality is similar or better to x1 or p1 when it comes to petg and nylon. For multi color there is snapmaker u1.

    Ooh now we're talkin, that centauri carbon 2 bundle is about the same as the Bambu X2D base model

    What are the issues with it? I see that they fully embraced open source 2 years ago

    Dunno about cc2 (also I believe that it's at least 20%-30% cheaper then x2d without ams), but CC had a few software problems that they were very slow to fix. Nozzle change procedure isn't great, usb cable of the first few revisions were shitty. Current CC1 machines are good.

    They aren't opensource, like at all, there is opencentauri project that only recently started to ship klipper for cc (first one).

    Upd: apparently CC2 is fully open
