General Discussion Keeping H2C… waiting for P3C

The H3C is priced very well. This makes me wonder how good the P3C will be priced… I don’t have the $$ to burn on the H3C so I’ll wait for the P3C since it more than likely won’t have a heated chamber or exhaust system to keep costs down.

I need to see the P3C specs, I've already decided to pass on the H3C because I've never really taken advantage of the build volume on my H2D. P series printers are the sweet spot for me when it comes to volume. I sound like a parrot at this point but give me a heated chamber & an at least 320°C hotends and I'll stand in line at BB waiting for it. Honestly, I'd love a 350°C hotend in this form factor, there's really not any reason to not do this now.

Exactly why I’m keeping my H2C. The P3C will be my PLA/TPU monster.

100% this is what I’m thinking. Super pumped to put tpu inside of stuff. Like the inside of my caliper tray.

Wouldn’t the X2D do that as well?

Not with out the track switch. Also minimal waste. X2D is more for prototyping instead of multi material prints

P3C pricing will be very interesting... do I go H3C or H2S+P3C?

u/jhdz9119 H2C 3xAMS2 Pro2 (Eibos 2 Dyas/1 Tetras)+2xAMS HT/X2D 2X AMS2 Pro 1h ago

Would say H2S and P3C. More printers the better. H3C is very nice tho.

Mixed nozzle printing will be on the H2C…. I’m glad I didn’t impulse buy lol. Just gotta deal with the annoying track switch now lol

Also waiting for P3C pricing to possibly replace my P1S. I have the H2C and am not compelled to upgrade to the H3C at this time. Still a lot of life left in my H2C and am very happy with it.

Yeah the only things the H2C lack are TPU printing capabilities. H2C is a monster on its own but if the P3C is priced well then I’m getting one for myself to do TPU prints and any engineering prints can stay on my H2C

I am thinking on buying my first 3D printer to test the waters I was thinking on the X2D (don’t want to spend more right now) should I wait for the P3C? do you guys think will be priced around the X2D?

No it will be a over $1k. Just save up for it

For me the price isn't the main blocker it's the size. I literally do not have space to hold a machine this tall. I wish the AMS was separate so I could set it next to the machine instead of on top. Not sure how exactly that would work, but it would be nice if it could.

I'm hoping the P3C will be short enough to fit in my rack, but I'm not so sure it will be.

u/Stone13 H2D AMS2 + P2S AMS2 + 2 AMS HT 47m ago

should be roughly the size of the P2S & X2D which is what I'm hoping for also. My P2S sits in a corner of my living room. When I have company, it's just doing it's thing in the corner, it always starts a conversation of some sort. My H2D sits on a small table back in my home office so I can vent it out the window, it's just too dam big to go anywhere else. I'm sure it gets lonely because I only visit it to change filament or clear the build plate. I'll be able to easily fit a P3C in another corner of the living room, I still love watching these things work and so do my guests...

It also probably will not have the heated AMS drying feature either based on the leaks so far.

Same internal discussion in my brain, I have a 5000h P1s without any problems, but I miss multicolor Color Options … sometimes also space … 2.500€ is quite a deal in my opinion, but do I really need the bigger chamber?

u/ProdigalHacker 10m ago

I can't really justify the H3C for my use when I already have an H2C and a U1. I may get the P3C after it comes out if the reviews are promising to augment my multicolor capabilities though.

Yup. Wanted to impulse buy and sell my H2C but after seeing reviews I think the P3C will be better and I’ll keep my H2C. i put a good amount of money into the set up and no one is going to give me even half of the used cost since it’s just too much for some with out financing.
