Have you engraved anything with it, yet? If you did, do share some detailed images of the process (video
would be better) and of the final product.

Its a dream! Someday I will get one.
Should I be surprised that I got two “thumbs down” for saying that omitting a hardwire Ethernet port on a $2500 machine is ridiculous?
Fanboys gonna fanboy, I guess.

No, I think you are missing the point. Ethernet port might be important for enterprises, but not so much for private consumers. Most people I know dont even have cables and use solely WiFi.
If you build in all features a machine that cost north of 2000 will be even more expensive. Has nothing to do in my opinion with fanboyism.
Although I like my device conne ted through a cable because of the reliablity associated with it, its not absolutely needed. It worked flawlessly with WiFi too.

Provided you also have good WLAN where the printer is located. I have a router + 3 mesh repeaters in my flat - but exactly in the corner where my printer is located, it reports a weak signal. I’m not going to install another repeater just because of the printer - but an RJ45 socket would be great for devices in this price range …

Which is the best multi-head printer for you? Bambu H2D vs. Prusa XL
I dont see any vfa or problems compared to any other printer on the market so far… this is great. why would you speculate such a thing if you cannot back it up with proofs ?

I was thinking about posting that video too, as it’s the only one I’ve seen that includes a VFA test. In general, I haven’t seen any VFAs in any reviews I’ve watched. It looks very promising

Because nobody even tried to print straight glossy materials to test X-axis VFAs?
Are you judging based on a selected few marketing videos from “influencers”?
Are you serious? Bambu fanboys are always the same…
Let me rephrase, did you notice how very selective current “reviews” are? They all talk about some multicolor pla prints.
Overhangs testing? VFA testing? Nobody did it. And I think it’s quite clear on why, considering that none of them paid for their printers.
Let’s pause any discussions on print quality of H2D till real people get their hands on printer and will flood the forum.

Some people already got it so more tests should be coming in very soon

if you look at the video… this guy is not an influencer he is a guy doing reviews and he owns a prusa xl as well. he is well known for his trust. Sure you can look at videos online and some will be paid to promote a product but you can also use your brain to see what the outcome will be in overall. There are already real people that have the printer and i dont see any issues yet. Thank you

Best of luck with that task. The market shift bringing desktop fiber lasers to consumers was essentially done for exactly this usage.
No matter the use of the H2D’s laser whatever it may be, the filtration system even with the add on purifier wasn’t engineered to best suite this feature…
At the end of the day and hype of this release. Bambu Lab fails to adequately provide the essential specifications of a majority of their products. Critical aspects of the hardware installed are no where to be stated in product descriptions and it’s a head scratcher as to why.
What’s the CFM of the Bambu Lab Air Purifier? I’d imagine it would be high due to multiple layers of filters needing to pull air through.
What’s the CFM of the H2D Chamber Exhaust fan?
Are the fans brushless motors? Reason being is regular ball bearings will inevitably fail much faster versus the X/P series printers due to added fumes. Brushless motors have a much longer life expectancy which also makes them able to contain higher CFM’s with the RPM’s.
I foresee spares being available in the future of course. But as of now if something were to occur with any of these new products. I see no real justification to the air purifiers $600 price tag versus anything half that price currently on amazon that users could easily have models made for attaching.

I would love to see a pure laser from BL!! Without the print option. I dont want both in one system!

Good luck to jump into that market … xtool is making a good job in that section for years.

I am also interested in a VFA Test with the new H2D printer. But a lot of German Youtubers who tested the H2D in the last months said that all their video content was not communicated with Bambu so it is their own opinion. Not everyone only talk about the good things of the H2D.
But I agree, they did not do a VFA Test and almost everyone printed the same models like those TPU shoes and the cycling helmet.
The X-axis VFA is something I really don´t like on my P1S…

check clough42 video on youtube, he covers VFAs - in comparison with the XL also

I haven’t done any specific test yet, but by the nature of my models, VFAs tend to be an issue. Especially since I use those metallic filaments.
One of the models I’m working on, I have back to back prints from the X1C vs the H2D and the H2D version is VFA-less.
I get the strong impression that VFAs are more or less gone on this machine. But that’s just an off the cuff observation, so don’t take it as pure fact. Not at least until the nerds break out their rulers.

Thank you. That’s exactly what I was talking about.
I really do hope that 1.5mm pitch belts change the issue, but needs additional tests.
That is my problem with all current reviews (not only BL printers btw). “Reviewers” completely ignore the proper tests to show the “ugliness” of kinematic design of said printer. In case of H2D - that is X-axis VFA, which are really annoying and excessive Z-banding for high-temp materials (meaning that the gantry design or material choice becomes less precise with elevated chamber temps).
Another thing what interests me - P1 and X1 were horrible at basic ABS\ASA printing because of the bad chamber insulation.
X1E for “enterprise” resolved it by adding additional internal insulation for side panels and chamber heater.
As far as I can see - H2D only adds chamber heater, but no insulation? What that would mean, that it would be able to print and not warp materials (pending proper testing on a horrible bed heater design) at the cost of high power consumption? When you use heater, you kinda want to trap the hot air in…
But in many cases you don’t even need a chamber heater, to be fair. Look at HPPS (3D Print Community: High Performance Panel System for Bambu Lab X1C/E 3D Printers « Fabbaloo)
I have that, and the need for chamber heater disappears pretty much (still cool to have though).

No, the laser edition doesn’t ship until April 25th.
Checking VFA on a GF or CF filled filament … is misleading lol.
Any GF\CF filaments helps in hiding VFAs.
Just for your information.
Really? Horrible?
I have a P1S more or less dedicated to ABS and it rocks it every time. It’s easy. It print swell
