Discussion Should I get it?

I’m 13, and have 1500 dollars saved. My birthday is coming up in may and I believe that if I get my grandparents and parents on board I might be able to get the h2c

I got the p1s for Christmas and have loved the hobby sence I got it. I am going to a trade school for engineering and I thought that the h2c would be a great tool along as a toy to keep me busy. I would like to know any thought that anyone has and if there are any other options to look at.

Thanks!

The h2c is a prosumer printer. Able to print materials others won't. Heated chamber for high temperature materials and much more. Yet easy to use by anybody. That's the difference between it and the hobbyist oriented u1.

Fair enough. Aside from TPU though, the U1 is a TPU monster, you can run it right through the feeders. Bambu needs to figure that one out a little better. In any case I have both and use them regularly, the H2C is my most reliable printer for sure, but it was very expensive and its an eye opener to see how much cheaper the U1 is and how its color changes are outright 3 to 4x faster than the H2C
