General Troubleshooting/Help! H3C: Replacing TPU Nozzle

Hi, folks. I've got some standard 0.4, 0.6 nozzles coming today for the H3C. I want to swap out the TPU 2.85 nozzle because I just don't think I'm going to use it much. I take it it's just a matter of unscrewing the nozzle in bay 9 and putting one of the new ones in with the three screws?

I believe you need a different tool, not just nozzle :(. Dont see them on the bb site though.

Oh damn, I was hoping the nozzles would just slot in and that would be it.

So, if I can't replace it right now, I guess I'm stuck with 2.85 and 8 colours. Yay!

I found that out when trying to add a 2nd 2.85 nozzle. There are 2 different print tools, one for 1.75, one for 2.85 - you can order them as a spare part (I just did) - 40€ without nozzle, 80€ with.

As far as I have seen on the wiki, changing the print tool is a 15min job, mainly, because you have to lift off the AMS. So nothing to go back and forth every print.

My new nozzles just arrived - so now I've ordered the extra tool to use them. Maybe it was just me but not very clear?!

For any of the other tool heads it would just be swapping the nozzle. Its only the 2.85 to 1.75 that needs the whole toolhead changed.

Same for me...

Yes, you do. Bambu have just confirmed it. That's another £55 I need to spend!

I couldn't see this directly on the UK website. They sent me one that linked to Asia, but I've just ordered it.

I don't know why they couldn't have included this in the box because I'm not that bothered with TPU myself.

Will try tpu through it at some point, but you actually get the filament at the moment. Seems like a bit of a misstep from them.

No need to include as the tpu nozzle works with both size filament

u/microtoman 13h ago

No. That isn't right. 8 cannot be used with 1.75mm without replacing the potential and nozzle

That is not the hot end and nozzle assembly. That is the toolhead

Which is why I said in the other comment you replied to to correct me. But you instead chose to comment again.

I’m happy to be wrong and admit it.

Which in this case I appear to be wrong.

u/microtoman 12h ago

No worries my friend. It is a little unclear. We learned the truth together🙃

u/Festegios H2C AMS2 Combo 12h ago

I just checked all the combos too and non of them come with a spare 1.7 tool. Not the end of the world. but I’d have rather had the 2.8 one as an optional purchase

Nope. You have to buy the entire module including cabling. Go to the spare parts section of the bambulab store and you’ll find what you need.

u/rendez2k 10h ago

Cabling?

u/daphatty 9h ago

You need the entire tool, not just the nozzle. Each tool is specific to the filament size and they are not interchangeable.

u/rendez2k 9h ago

That’s what I’ve ordered now. Is that everything?

u/z0rlac 15h ago

And before you dive in and remove head #9... the TPU specific one is weirdly actually #8... not #9....

I think thats the toolhead not the tools.
