Comment on Bambu Lab announces the Vortek H2C, an automatic nozzle-changing version of the H2D
Bronzie@sh.itjust.works 3 days agoYeah, I think it’s very clever, but like you say it will be interesting to see how the system fairs outside a lab environment over time.
And even if it does work flawlessly, there is no way they will price it lower than the H2D which is already outside what I consider reasonable for sporadic home use.
If all my dreams come true, the competition heats up and they end up dumping the prices over the board.
Realistically though, I’ll keep an eye on the H2S over the next few months and see if people have issues with it before I give away even more of my hard earned money.

My opinion is these printers are aimed a lot more at print farms and other businesses that use 3D printing than the average consumer/hobbyist. And the pricing will reflect that. I think that the X series printers get faded and Bambu keeps the A and P Series printers. The A series for beginners and the cheap bastids like me. The P series then becomes the flagship consumer models. While the H series is the prosumer market. The nozzle swapper is aimed at the heart of print farms where every milligram of waste is money lost.
I’m quite sure Bambu has all the patents locked up and it’s going to be a good while before we will other printers with similar technology.
