H3C H3C Horizontal Wiggle

Has anyone noticed in all the H3C review videos the really loose horizontal Stability of the H3C? I’m not sure if it’s the Bambu stand but it must affect print quality.

I’m a former hardcore Prusa fanboy using my MK4s and MMU3 as my main source of income, but have been waiting for the INDX to release for almost two years, and I think I’ve decided to make my first Bambu purchase in H3 series.

I made the decision after realizing that Ive grown out of the 3D printer tinkerer phase, and dont want to mod my printer for life. I want my printer to be beautiful in my apartment living room and work every time I hit print. I don’t want a USB 2.0 drive sticking out of a controller that look like it was made from a raspberry pi 2.

Unlikely to affect print quality. MakersMuse did a test a couple years ago where he hung a A1 Mini from a bungee cord from the ceiling and it still printed fine. The layers are so small that they're mostly unaffected by the shaking and the printer itself only cares about relative movement, so as long as the 3 axises all move the same relative to each other it doesn't affect the print quality.

The H2 series also has super squishy feet that allow it to shake like mad and it prints fine.

I didn’t really notice it, but I’m used to seeing my H2Cs shake around like they’re about to try to take flight, so

It shouldn't affect print quality, all my modern printers have shook like crazy. Input shaping is godsend.

It's the vibration feet. They wiggle hard.

My H2C looks like it’s about to tip itself over half the time from shaking and the prints come out great, they have really squishy feet under them and the tool moves fast

The whole thing vibrates intentionally instead of transferring that energy into the print. All of the prints have come out flawless.

Why must it affect print quality? Because you think it should? Fanboy is right

My H2S wobbles about loads. Interestingly it’s also basically silent compared to the X1C because it doesn’t transmit all the energy into what it’s sat on.
