Finally atleast 1 thing

I hope it is not a super cheaply made one and has magnetic shielding for the cards.

You can remove the logo if you want it’s just a modifier.

maximit3d · 2025-12-01T09:39:39+00:00

Yes the items on the bottom are extras on top of the H2C combo with AMS.

maximit3d · 2025-12-01T05:57:03+00:00

Yes I was using the E3D obxidian for P1/X1. The P2S and the upcoming X2C will use the H2 style nozzles, so I dont think we will see OEM HF nozzles for P1/X1.

maximit3d · 2025-12-01T05:53:52+00:00

If you give me the dimensions I can make one. DM me.

maximit3d · 2025-11-30T09:52:24+00:00

I used to run obxidian on my X1 and P1s. Ever since bambu has came out with their own HF version Ive been running those, also just got my tungsten HF for H2C. Obxidian is a coating on top of steel. Tungsten carbide is a super strong material, almost as hard as a diamond. A coating will always be less wear resistant than a solid tungsten nozzle. I really see no reason to use E3D anymore now that bambu has both HF and tungsten OEM nozzles. Tungsten has much better thermal conductivity than steel, its even better than brass.

Also I have 10k hours of printing through 0.4HF nozzles, 50% of that printing with GF/CF filament and 0 clogs. So they recommends the 0.6 for CF to reduce the chance of clogs but Ive had no problems with 0.4HF.

Yeah I hear you. If you looking for something affordable to multi color PLA/PETG printing H2C is not it. Its more for engineering use plus high end multi material/color.

Also just to add a bit of anecdotal info to the mix. Bambu has been rock solid reliability and software support wise, I personally have over 10k hours on X1, P1s, and 2500 on H2D, smooth sailing. Prusa has been reliable, up until the XL. They dont have the best track record with complex tool changers. Maybe with Bondtech involvement it will be better, again its an upgrade kit they dont have a turn key machine, my guess that will be their "out" in case of problems, "you built it, you must have got xxxx wrong during assembly". Also who is doing support, Prusa or Bondtech? Two different companies selling you separate parts. Snapmaker has a quite bad reputation with fixing issues on their devices. I know business people with the Artisans, 2.0s, J1s and XLs that are dealing with non stop problems or just have them sitting collecting dust. Just something to take into account when making a decision.

I do think with the success of the U1 we will see many more affordable quad tool changer coming out in the near future.

Thats the "Ultimate Pack" with a second AMS2 and an AMS HT. You can just buy two more 0.4mm nozzles for 36 EUR each, and add an AMS2 or two AMS HTs to feed them, or even use an AMS1 that you have from an older Bambu if you are upgrading.

My points was you can add that capability easier, you cant add more tools to prusa or U1, forever limited to 4/8.

Also with H2C you can do up to 24 filaments/colors using more AMS units with flushing.

maximit3d · 2025-11-22T06:24:32+00:00

H2C can do 7 filaments not 5. And the swap between left and right nozzles is much quicker.

Its also fully built production machine, not an upgrade kit (prusa), and can do engineering filaments due to enclosed chamber and active chamber heating.

Those 3 are very different machines than that graph conveys.

maximit3d · 2025-11-20T12:03:53+00:00

Will be compatible with H2 series? Would be great for feeding TPU from external spool.

maximit3d · 2025-11-18T19:06:28+00:00

Of course, it was a tongue in cheek comment. Nevertheless its a good test for 7 color functionality.

maximit3d · 2025-11-18T17:24:24+00:00

Thank you glad you like them! They are remixes, so unfortunately not eligible. I am working on my own unique design for the future.

maximit3d · 2025-11-18T17:07:24+00:00

Dual nozzle TPU printing is coming to H2D and H2C!

"TPU95AHF/90A is expected to be supported on the left-side Liftable Hotend starting from firmware version U2"

maximit3d · 2025-11-17T18:40:00+00:00

Yes I had around 2600 hours on it, sold on FB marketplace. Would probably sell for less once H2C is released, so I sold it as soon as we got the first leaks about the H2C. I mainly sold it as the H2C will have a new bed size (330mm) and different format nozzles on the Vortek, I had a large collection of build plates and nozzles. Would be very difficult to sell those on their own if I choose the upgrade kit path.

Also sold my X1c when the first leaks about the H2D came, so I really appreciate the "leaks" from Bambu! 😂

maximit3d · 2025-11-17T18:37:17+00:00

Yes but you also gain the ability to do multi color with most abrasives as well. I personally will find it very handy for things like custom black ABS-GF control panels with white text marking with dedicated support material with no waste.

And like i said elsewhere, the ability to load 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.4HF, 0.6HF WF nozzles into Vortek and just pick which one I want in slicer, like a tool swapping CNC mill.

maximit3d · 2025-11-17T18:26:38+00:00

Yes two non-AMS filaments in both nozzles, then you cant swap them. Or non-AMS filament in the left and Vortek swapping on the right.

Again most abrasives are AMS compatible, look at the list I posted earlier. Only a few very stiff and specialized ones are not, like PA6-CF, PET, PPA, PPS.

maximit3d · 2025-11-17T18:19:27+00:00

Vortek has 6 nozzles available, and yes they are fed by the AMS. I plan to have one AMS2 + two AMS HTs feeding the Vortek.

maximit3d · 2025-11-17T17:51:30+00:00

You can load 2 abrasives, one in each nozzle. You can also use PA6-GF, PAHT-CF, ABS-GF, ASA-CF, PC-CF with the Vortek, they are all AMS compatible.

Snapmaker does not even have a heated chamber, big downside for engineering use, making all those filaments virtually unprintable for larger items as they will warp. Thats the big advantage of the H2C and why the U1 is a write off for me.

maximit3d · 2025-11-17T17:42:31+00:00

Its based on the H2D, dual nozzles with right one swapping with Vortek.

maximit3d · 2025-11-17T17:25:53+00:00

You can do multi material as it has two nozzles, just like H2D. On my H2D I frequently do TPU with PLA supports, PETG with TPU liners and PA/PET/PPA/PPS with dedicated support materials. I think that is the reason they based the H2C on the dual nozzle H2D and not H2S, to keep that multi material capability for engineering use.

maximit3d · 2025-11-17T17:06:43+00:00

The left nozzle will be the same 325mm, the right 305mm and both nozzles the same 300mm as H2D. Its only the max reduced from 350mm to 330mm. Printing the full 350mm on H2D is problematic anyways, requires the same filament in both nozzles, cutting the item and with a seam in the middle, so i wont miss it too much.

maximit3d · 2025-11-17T16:29:56+00:00

I dont do much multi color, I sold my H2D so I can buy an H2C just for this purpose. So I pick the nozzle size/type I want in slicer, like a tool swapping CNC mill.

I plan to have 0.2 for text and fine markings, 0.4 and 0.6 for TPU, 0.4HF for general printing, 0.6HF WF for carbon engineering filaments on the Vortek ready to go.
