The verdict
Buy the P1S.
9/10 vs H2D's 8.2/10, and it wins 3 of 5 categories. Buy this if you print ABS, ASA, or anything that smells or warps in open air. The enclosure and filtration aren't optional extras, they're the whole point. If you only print PLA, save $50 and get the A1 Combo.

Buy these with it
A printer does nothing without these. Grab them in the same order.
- ELEGOO PLA filament, 1kgThe easy filament to start on. Prints at low temperatures and warps less.
- ELEGOO PETG filament, 1kgTougher and more heat tolerant than PLA, for parts that get handled or sit in the sun.
- SUNLU filament dryer S1 PlusWet filament causes stringing and rough surfaces. A dryer fixes that before you blame the printer.
