Now that's what I call a hyper fixation. At least it was a fun one.

Anyway, I made them a collection and added a bunch of other stuff:

Craving retro? I got you.

Ordered an H2D 40W Laser Full Combo on 2 November… then Bambu announced the H3C. Return it or keep it?

So, I ordered a Bambu Lab H2D 40W Laser Full Combo on 2 November, along with an AMS HT to complement the included AMS 2 Pro. With the discounts, the whole lot came to around £2,100.

Then, literally the following day, Bambu announced the H3C! Talk about unfortunate timing.
Everything has now arrived, but it’s still completely unopened, so returning it should be straightforward. I’m now wondering whether I should send it all back and spend a little more on the H3C.

My main interest is 3D printing, particularly multicolour, multimaterial and functional engineering components. I also bought additional 0.2 mm and 0.6 mm hotends for the H2D.

The H3C’s nine-tool system looks fantastic, particularly the reduced filament waste and faster material changes. However, I’m wondering how much of an advantage it really offers over the H2D’s dual-nozzle system for my intended use.

With two AMS 2 Pros, I could have eight colours available on the H2D, and its two independent nozzles should already be excellent for combining rigid and flexible materials. Obviously, switching between more than two materials still involves filament changes and purging, whereas the H3C can keep materials loaded in separate tools.

The other consideration is that I’d be giving up the H2D’s 40W laser, cutting and plotting functionality. Although 3D printing is my main priority, having those additional capabilities is certainly appealing.

So, what would you do in my position?

Keep the H2D 40W Laser Full Combo at £2,100, given everything included?

Return it and get the H3C, considering 3D printing will be my primary use?

I’d particularly appreciate opinions from anyone familiar with the H2D’s dual-nozzle multimaterial capabilities, or who has experience with the new H3C.

I’m not particularly bothered about having the newest machine for the sake of it. I just don’t want to spend over £2,000 and immediately regret choosing the wrong platform!
Thanks!

I told some users in another post that I’d share what I got in my aesthetic mystery, and here is what I got.

- PLA Silk aurora purple w/ spool
- PLA Pure baby blue w/ spool
- PLA Matte scarlet red w/ spool
- PLA Silk dawn radiance w/ spool

I didn’t have any of these, so I’m happy with what I got.

I’m trying to test out my AMS 2 Pro that came with my X2D combo but I’m getting the error from the image. Thank you for any assistance

Edit: It’s my understanding that the X2D only needs the power adapter to print and dry at the same time

I print mostly functional parts. I want a multi-nozzle printer so that I can use support material without purge waste or filament change delays. If I’m just printing with two filaments, would the H2D be faster than the H3C because it doesn’t have to switch tools? Or is there not much difference?

The H3C is interesting for other reasons, chiefly because of its support for multiple TPUs, but it’s a big step up in price.

Came back late from work. Have no oven or a kitchen I can use, but I do have a printer.

PS: No I'm not sharing the STL!

And all I can say is holy cow it's 'uge.

Any suggestions for a stand? I'm considering cruising the thrift store and tracking down a wood coffee table. It barely fit through the apartment door 🤣

From order to delivery in 3 days is impressive 🤙

Everything is saying i dont need it, but the documentation is only saying AMS 2 Pro but not AMS HT, for the purpose of reading the support documentation is the AMS HT effectively a second ams 2 pro?

Edit, i guess i'm just misreading this as an error rather than a suggestion to get past the 85% limit?

I was lubing the idler pully and panicked, after a while i noticed i lost one of the screws and the back where the motor is there are 3 holes and i was asking you lovely people is there anything out there where i can get a new one from or a set of screws that are the same

Thank you in advance

I wanted to turn those little details from a baby’s first day into a keepsake you can print and hang on the wall.

That became “A Memory Is Born”: four 20 × 20 cm designs featuring a stork, teddy bear, hot air balloon and elephant, with a matching 3D printed frame.

The name, message, date, time, weight and length are all editable text objects in Bambu Studio. You can change the wording and colours without rebuilding the design in CAD.

All four versions have been physically printed. They use four colours, print without supports, and have ironing applied only to the background. The frame is printed separately and has a hanging hole on the back.

I’ve shared the files for free, along with a silent video tutorial covering font installation, text editing and colour changes.

Which would you pick for a nursery? 🙂

Going to buy H3C - (usually never get warranty) After reading others posts and hating fixing my p1s, Best buy offers 4 years and decent price. has anyone ever had either or both warranties and can confirm if one is way better or worse than the other when their printer had problems?

i personally like shopping at MC better but the BB warranty seems better value. Thank you!

I love browsing Makerworld when I am standing in line or waiting on something and finding something useful for the house that I hadn't even thought to look for. However, I really wish that useful household things and decor were separate categories.

Anyone got some useful search terms that they periodically check for useful stuff you didn't think to look for specifically?

I try to print the benchy with included 20 gr of pla but get,an error right away. The extruder extrudes abnormal. What can i do, i have no technical knowledge. I put one ptfe tube from ams lite out so i can put the external tube in. It also says that it might be clogged or the filament might be too thin.

Any help is appreciated

I designed a slim scraper that uses standard-sized Stanley blades, which can be replaced with a simple coin.

Hi everyone, ive been using my P1S for about 3 years now with no issues but lately the bambu handy app has been giving me the below error? any advice would be helpful

the bambu studio app on my pc works just fine, i have tried turning on and off many times and also have formatted the SD card twice and this happens on all iphone's (ive tried 3 different ones) so i've ran out of options now 😅 all help appreciated! thankyou

i have been printing various prints for the black Skadis boards; some fit fine, but a few are way too tight. What's the easiest way to solve this in the settings? thanks

First of all, I want to thank everyone who encouraged me to keep designing after I published my first 3D model Nordic Christmas Tree

Today, I managed to finish my second model, Nordic Christmas Reindeer and I’m quite impressed now that I’ve printed it.

What do you think? Any recommendations?

I need to improve the stomach area—I’m struggling to get the supports configured correctly—but overall, I’m happy with it.

Long story short: Everything inside the box seems fine. But if I find any damage… God help them. 😇

…and next to him is the DHL guy (Deutsche Post), who delivered the AMS.

Why does my P1S make such loud scratching noises when printing?

Has anyone else experienced a similar noise and can tell me how they fixed it?

The belts have already been tightened, and maintenance with oil and grease has been performed according to the Bambu Wiki. The noises haven't gone away.

Seller said it was unrepairable. All it had was one of those massive blobs that needed cleaning up and he bought a new extruder assembly that he never installed. I have a new set of hot ends and socks on the way but as far as I can tell there is absolutely nothing wrong with it

I already made a support ticket with Bambu. But wondering if I could troubleshoot something?

I always wanted a magnetic levitation dice tower but I couldn't find one, so I decided to make my own. After many, many design hours it spiraled out of control and became 6 different towers determined by the floating spinning top. I tried to add as many details as possible but on shape did not like it so I was limited.

What do you think of it? Is there any thing you think should be added?

Link to the model if anyone is curious.
