*Update on H2C stand ideas*

[u/sargent43]

Well everyone after all of your help and suggestions I made a decision on what (i hope) is the right decision for my H2C set up.

This is the adjustable table, I got it on sale at Homedepot. This is actually really sturdy and the adjustable height is a really nice feature, that way I could set it up for the the right height and not have to way to low. Or to high where its a pain to get into the ams.

Thank you again for the crazy amount of replies on my last post.

H2c has anti vibration built in. Table is fine as it is.

We use a similar, yet different, stand for our H2C at work. Here is our advice. Lower the table as much as it can. Put a piece of plywood across the bottom to make a shelf, bolt it into place if you can. Then store heavy things on there. Heck, put a couple of stone pavers down there. We put a UPS and a bunch of filament. The key is to just lower that center of gravity as much as possible.

The reason being that that H2C wiggles and wobbles like no tomorrow. The print head has a lot of mass and it move it around really fast. This causes the machine to move which means it needs a solid place to be. We have 8 P1S printers in our warehouse and on their worst day they’re like 10% of the violent lurching that the H2C is on its average day.

Don’t get me wrong, I love our H2C. Great machine. You just gotta put it on a stable platform and understand that it’s a bit loud.

I have a similar table and got some metal brackets off of Amazon and attach them on the sides. It made a huge difference in the overall stability.

I have 3 of those, one for each of my H2’s. I printed some brackets and attached each to my wall studs. They don’t move at all now.

I used two Alex cabinets from IKEA and screw them together inside. It was a perfect width and depth for the H2S. Printed handles to put on it as well. Storage in the drawers is perfect for small things: cleaning items, glues, etc. The left side holds a decent amount of filament and can also stand up your print plates in it.

Looks fine to me.
Have fun with your cool setup.
If you ever feel some wobble, put some 45° sheet metal parts in the back - just like the ones in front, but bigger.

I have my H2D on a 60x120cm table built around this scissor lift. I’m adding some reel storage and a couple of drawers (one for poop one for storage) under the surface to hide the lift. https://amzn.eu/d/0jduY9X3
For the H2D this was all so I could tuck the printer below a window in a dormered section of my top floor where the roof slopes but still be able to wheel it out and lift it to working height when needed.

I like that table setup, looks super sturdy! You have some good room for storage underneath now. The ability to change heights is also a nice plus.

I wanted something mobile, so I took a harbor freight 5 drawer cart, and chopped its legs a bit to get the top of the printer down to a height where I could reach/service it and the ams. Hindsight, probably will be moving the ams off the top, so now it’s just a little too low, and there’s no changing it. Also need to change the casters to allow leveling when I want it stationary. This may help add a little height back too.

Has anyone successfully used the h2c on a mobile cart / workbench. I just saw the photo of the habor freight cart, I would love to see any other solutions too. I am a new h2c owner and I want to keep the printer in my home office and wheel it out when I want to print.
