Comment on Bambu Lab announces the Vortek H2C, an automatic nozzle-changing version of the H2D

I’m still stuck with an old firmware. And if I want lan mode with the new firmware I would have to use another app and lose the printing status and direct controls in orca slicer. So if they add fixes and improvements (new build plates, new filaments) I’m still stuck on an old version. That’s not alarmism, that’s a fact.

I’m not sure about new build plates, but new filaments can absolutely be added within a slicer, including the BL slicer.

I’d also be really interested to see if a project like the X1 custom firmware is extended to more devices.

  Not sure that project seems dead. I would like if they did an H2D version though.

  Yes I’m sure they can. I’m talking more about the selection of the loaded material on the printer itself. Bambulab updated the list through firmware updates and so the slicer already loads the correct profile. It would be of course possible to load any material and set the correct profile in the slicer - but again it’s jumping through hoops.

    Isn’t that literally something BambuLab improved upon over every other printer though?

    I bought tpu for ams. I cannot use it with the ams unless I upgrade the firmware because the stock one doesn’t let me use tpu with ams.

Build plates are just sheet steel with a coating. And Bambu filament is just Sunlu with an RFID tag that isn’t worth the extra cost.

  Extra cost? Where are you getting filament? In my country it is very competitively priced at least the refill filament. Even Amazon is maybe a buck cheaper.

  Yes and no. It‘s about being able to select Special Materials from the Printer After loading to be Synced with the slicer. Happened when they extended the materials range.
