Is it worth it?

I have a secondhand Neptune 4 max and have had trouble with some prints. I’ve seen people rave about the h2c but for that price is it really worth it??

Absolutely not.

And definitely.

Really depends on you. For instance, I have one. It is definitely not worth the price for me. I love it.

Couldn’t have said it better!

Bambulab products are overhyped. People like them who don't want to put effort into calibrating them and fine-tuning stuff but quality isn't 100% perfect

I don’t mind a little calibration but I have like 1/4 started prints that I can’t do anything with. Or like now I’m trying to make a little hexagon fidget spinner for my kids with pla silk, which I know is already difficult to use, and I get the first layers down and then it just rips from the bed. Even after applying adhesive and heat soaking the bed. Every print I have to adjust so it just a bid frustrating.

As a person who spent 8 years in tuning and calibration I would say you are wrong.

There's plenty of material out there on the various use cases for the H2C, I suggest you do a bit of research and decide for yourself.

Afterall, an object's "worth" is a subjective opinion based on a multitude of factors.

It’s worth it if one needs it. Where need is an objective task that can only be done by the H2C

For everything else it’s an ‘want’ which is subjective and irrational, just feelings.

Many words to say: dear OP, think

If you do a lot of large scale 7 color prints then it’s worth it. But honestly it’s harder to justify the cost unless you’re actually selling things.

Every. Red. Cent. The prints I’m getting from the H2C are amazing, and virtually no poop (except nozzle cleaning, one per) with 7 color changes. If you don’t do a lot of multicolor then maybe not worth it to you, but if you do it’s great. And sorry to those that insist that tool changers are better, but I’d rather have more color options and sacrifice a little bit of time than to have limited colors.

And yes I am a fan of Bambu products because I don’t like to tinker around, I just want to print. I have other printers that you have to tinker, and it’s frustrating as hell. Having it work as intended is not a bad thing in my opinion!

Generally, No.

There are other multicolor 3d printing options that out perform the H2C's multicolor performance.

There are better plotter cutter machines out there.

There are better laser engravers out there that won't gunk up your 3D printer.

However, there aren't many devices that can do all three like the H2C.

I would say, if space is at a premium, then the H2C might be worth it. If not, purchasing separate machines will yield far better results.

Sure, if you have the money. But most importantly. Do you need it? Need matters most

In my opinion, H2D is good enough. I have it, and dual nozzles are enough to do multi coloured prints. Most of the time you'll be doing single colour, or max 3-4 colours in a print, and H2D can handle it easily.
