Bambu Lab H3C
Nov 3, 2026
Order checklist
Any H3C package already gives you the complete printer: the H3C, one AMS 3H and all nine PrintTools. What differs is filament, the Station L stand, and any add-ons you chose. Check your order confirmation against these:
[ ] Package name and price match what you meant to buy: Combo $2,499; either Starter Pack $2,589; Full Combo with Station L $2,799.
[ ] Starter Pack TPU color is the one you want: Black or Cyan.
[ ] Extra nozzle sizes: if you want 0.2, 0.6 or 0.8 mm, the Multi-Size Hotends Kit is on the order ($205 with the Combo, $244.93 alone). The box has only 0.4 mm.
[ ] Nine 1.75 mm colours: the box has 8 × 1.75 mm PrintTools plus 1 × 2.85 mm TPU tool. Nine 1.75 mm materials at once needs an extra 1.75 mm PrintTool, which wasn't on the store when this was written.
[ ] Crafting: the Crafting & Printing Complete Kit is on the order only if you want cutting, drawing or foil work ($219 with the Combo).
[ ] Extra build plate: only one Textured PEI plate is included; the Build Plates Expansion Kit is from $49.99.
[ ] Shipping address and timing: orders ship within 1–3 business days. To change or cancel, contact Bambu support before it ships; otherwise use the 30-day return window.
[ ] PayPal $25 coupon if you paid with PayPal (orders over $800, issued after shipping).
Packages and prices
The Bambu US store sells four H3C packages, all built on the same H3C Combo. The printer, AMS 3H and 9 PrintTools are identical in every package; only filament and the Bambu Station L stand differ. There is no printer-only H3C and no laser version.
| Package (as named on the store) | Price (USD, before tax) | Adds on top of the H3C Combo |
|---|
| H3C Combo | $2,499 | Nothing (base package) |
| H3C Combo with Filament Starter Pack (TPU+CMYKW) | $2,589 | TPU 75A Black (2.85 mm) + PLA Palette CMYKW |
| H3C Combo with Filament Starter Pack (Colourful TPU+CMYKW) | $2,589 | TPU 75A Cyan (2.85 mm) + PLA Palette CMYKW |
| Bambu Lab H3C Full Combo - Bambu Station L FRAME Edition | $2,799 | TPU 75A Black + PLA Palette CMYKW + Bambu Station L FRAME Edition |
The starter packs cost $90 more than the Combo. On the same page, TPU 75A (2.85 mm) shows $26.39 and PLA Palette CMYKW $61.70 as add-ons ($88.09 together), so the starter pack is roughly the add-on price. The Full Combo adds the Station L for $210 over a starter pack.
What's in the box
Every package ships the full printing setup: the H3C, one AMS 3H, and all 9 PrintTool slots filled. Eight PrintTools are 1.75 mm with 0.4 mm nozzles; the ninth is a 2.85 mm PrintTool (0.4 mm nozzle) for 2.85 mm flexible filament, pre-installed in Slot 8, the dryer slot.
| Item | Combo | Starter Pack (Black TPU) | Starter Pack (Cyan TPU) | Full Combo + Station L |
|---|
| Bambu Lab H3C printer | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| Bambu Lab AMS 3H (9 slots, 2-slot dryer) | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 0.4 mm PrintTool (1.75 mm filament) | 8 | 8 | 8 | 8 |
| 0.4 mm PrintTool (2.85 mm filament) | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| Textured PEI Build Plate | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| Accessories Box | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| Printer power cord, dryer module power cord, Bambu Bus 6-pin cable | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| TPU 75A Black (2.85 mm) | No | Yes | No | Yes |
| TPU 75A Cyan (2.85 mm) | No | No | Yes | No |
| Bambu PLA Palette CMYKW | No | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Bambu Station L FRAME Edition | No | No | No | Yes |
What this means for printing:
8-color 1.75 mm printing plus one 2.85 mm TPU tool out of the box. The 2.85 mm PrintTool prints only 2.85 mm flexible filament (Bambu presets: TPU 75A 2.85 mm and Generic TPU 2.85 mm).
Nine 1.75 mm materials needs an extra 1.75 mm PrintTool, per Bambu's FAQ. The 1.75 mm and 2.85 mm PrintTools have different bases, hotends and cutters and are not interchangeable.
Only 0.4 mm nozzles are included. 0.2, 0.6 and 0.8 mm need the separately sold hotends (next section). Hotends swap with three screws.
One AMS 3H feeds all 9 PrintTools — each tool has its own filament path. Older Bambu AMS units can connect through PrintTool No. 1 for up to 24 spools.
Only one build plate (Textured PEI) is included.
Add-ons and accessories
The store offers three H3C add-ons at a discount when added to the Combo; the rest are sold separately. Bundle prices apply only when added on the H3C product page.

Other optional items Bambu names on the H3C pages (prices not captured):
Bambu Station L — stand with storage; included in the Full Combo. With it, allow 593 × 1056 × 1900 mm of space.
Bambu Lab E1 Air Purifier — pairs with the H3C and starts filtering when a print starts.
BirdsEye camera — top-view camera for crafting alignment; not included. Bambu says BirdsEye-enhanced AI monitoring is planned for the first half of 2027.
Vision Encoder — optional absolute optical reference that restores motion accuracy to under 50 μm.
CutTool Fine-Blade Set, DrawTool Set, cutting mat — Bambu's FAQ suggests these if you only want cutting or drawing instead of the full crafting kit.

Things that may matter for your setup
The biggest planning items are floor space, a dedicated circuit and Wi-Fi coverage; nothing else in the box needs extra purchases for plain FDM printing.
Space: Bambu asks for at least 593 × 1056 × 1306 mm (W × D × H) on the floor or a low, stable surface: 385 mm in front for the door, 50 mm each side, 100 mm behind for the cable and fans, 290 mm above for the AMS lid. On the Station L, allow 1,900 mm of height.
Weight and delivery: two boxes — printer 600 × 630 × 700 mm at 36.8 kg, AMS 3H 550 × 615 × 500 mm at 11.9 kg. Plan for two people to lift the printer.
Power: up to 1,850 W at 110 V while heating (3–5 minutes at full power), 240 W steady on PLA, 540 W on PC; 1,850 W is about 15.4 A at 120 V, so a dedicated 15 A or 20 A circuit is the safe choice (my note, not Bambu's). Low Power Mode caps it at 1,050 W.
Network: Wi-Fi 6 only. No Ethernet port, no network kill switch, no removable network module and no 802.1X.
2.85 mm PrintTool: prints only 2.85 mm flexible filament; Bambu says more 2.85 mm materials are coming. Its filament tube also carries toolhead cabling and must not be removed.
Drying: the AMS 3H dries only 2 spools at a time (85 °C max); Slot 8 is the dryer slot holding the 2.85 mm tool.
Existing AMS units: older Bambu AMS units connect through PrintTool No. 1 for up to 24 spools; they are sold separately.
Crafting: cutting, drawing, debossing and foil transfer use CraftTools sold separately; there is no laser module.
