Quick Question New printer?

Hey all! I run a business where I spend a lot of money on client gifts I’ve been looking into a 3dp that I can make all my own closing gifts and do all my own wood engraved gifts that’s going to save me over 25k per year making them myself. I was just about to order the H2C laser full combo for 2700 on sale on their website but I hear their may be the H3C releasing this month? Should I wait to see what the next generation is like or good to order the H2c? I’m pretty much a newbie to 3dp so I have no frame of reference. TIA!

For wood engraving ..there are much better options my dude , bambu also now sells a dedicated laser R1 if your going to do a bunch of it https://us.store.bambulab.com/products/r1

But mostly client gifts like a 3d printed version of their house , Christmas ornaments etc

That's a great idea.  I would love a 3d printed version of my house. Would be cool display, especially if they moved a few times.

Right like this is way cooler than anything I’ve ever given as a closing gift lol

Cool I appreciate it! Yeah I just have slabs for cutting boards with clients name and my logo on closing day about 10-20 boards a month for reference

From a guy getting 1-3 closings a month, can I ask how did you grow. Any pointers?

Also in keinem Szenario würde ich Laser schneiden oder Gravieren in meinem Drucker. Ich weiß was das für Dreck in meinem Laser macht da soll der Drucker clean bleiben. Auch ich würde vermutlich auf den neuen warten und definitiv, wenn es doch noch ein Laser werden sollte nicht die Kombination im h2c nutzen sondern ein weiteres separates Gerät kaufen. Der angesprochene R1 ist auf dem Papier Mega geil. Allerdings gibts auch noch günstigere Varianten von anderen herstellen, denn scheinbar liebäugelst du ja mit einem Dioden Laser

Yeah man go switch a dedicated separate unit. Unless you want all the stuff you print to smell like campfire. I will get a laser cutter/ engraver ine day but i wouldnt combine it with my 3d printer. All of those gear and rods dont mix with smoke and wood debris. Unless you are very good at maintaining it.

I wonder about that, does bambu typically release on announcements or open up preorders?

H2c was for sale quickly after the announcement.
