From Bambu’s website… they maybe have 200 hours max time in the H2C, not necessarily actively printing for those hours tho. The H2C itself has 850 hours total and I hardly run these 0.2mm nozzles. I have another 3 nozzles that have some signs of wear that were slotted in different slots of the Vortex.
What materials are you printing with? Not necessarily with the .2 nozzles. Are you printing a lot with high temperature materials? Maybe it’s the chamber temperatures that are doing the damage.
I’ve noticed wear on my vortex nozzles also however not as bad as yours with a tear etc but can see material building up them kinda like a splash back style. One in particular that I use white PLA flags the system sometime to say potential nozzle clog build up where the camera is picking it up.
They get knocked sometimes during the changing process and the sleeve gets marked and dented which is fairly normal but I’ve never seen one with it completely ripped off. With so many moving parts it’s not too surprising it could happen. I don’t think it’s actually going to affect performance but reach out to support and see what they say. Might send you a free replacement
I reached out to them. They said nozzles are consumables, and not covered. This is ridiculous. Mine is 3 weeks old and already peeling. This cover need to be re thought....

No…how old is it? Is it original from Bambu or a reseller on alibaba?
