I didn’t see any mention of included items.
Just scroll until your finger starts aching. However, they removed the included “emergency stop button” materials of my screenshot altogether
That was the first thing that crossed my mind when I heard about the lasers. I have my printers in a room next to my office. I used to leave the door open between the two and then decided to buy an air monitor that monitors TVOC along with CO, CO2, and HCHO.
I found when just printing ABS and ASA (i.e. no laser cutting), the TVOC jumped to levels above 0.5, even though I had a 200cfm vent fan in the printer room. HCHO also increased. At a TVOC above 0.5 you need to reduce the levels or have minimal exposure as long term exposure, or shorter exposures over periods of time can cause toxicity. There is a 3D Creator (Loyal Moses) that actually got sick from printing ASA over time with no ventilation. So the door went shut, and I upped the fan to a 375 cfm fan. FDM materials no longer cause issues. But, levels do increase when resin printing to 0.4 (Considered safe. Some houses have this just from the building materials, especially in new houses)
On Joel’s video, he explained the automatic vent on top of the machine will open and the fumes vent directly into the room when laser cutting. Now imagine what would happen with the TVOC and HCHO readings with the laser running and the fumes being vented to the room it’s in when engraving / cutting plastics or acrylic. And, as Joel showed, you can get a decent amount of smoke off some materials. So now you have particulate to deal with. (BTW, the particulate smoke in the chamber also raises some long term maintenance questions in my mind)
The end user may have to use a grow tent vented to outdoors to keep toxic gases in the room, or even building, at a safe level.
Well, apparently Bambu did in fact address this. It’s a $600 add on and was not made available on launch date. That’s unfortunate and speaks to the “Chabuduo” (差不多) approach that we should come to expect to from our friends at BL. 
Looks like a smoker BBQ. 
It also drives the total price of the 40W laser combo over $4,100.

For 40 hours of continuous laser tasks, I have expected much worse than what these photos show.
I don’t think anyone buys this for full-time laser engraving or cutting. If I decide to buy it, it will be mostly 3D printing and occasional engraving or cutting. So 40 hours cover a lot of use.
As for smell, use common sense, right? For example, I wouldn’t engrave or cut rubber inside a house, even with a dedicated standalone engraver or cutter.

How is the filament for the two extruders handled? Two separate spools, or do you need the AMS to use the dual extruder feature?
From my experience with a commercial laser that I vent outside, the smell inside the chamber lingers around. I’m guessing people will eventually make mods or accessories to help, or you can even purchase their $600 purifier to help clear that out, but the chamber is going to reek unless cleaned after cutting or engraving something as simple as the pieces of wood. I do love that smell, but I wouldn’t want that smell attached to the next 3D print I make to sell on Etsy. Just something to think about that’s all.

well, this is interesting, might be an answer to some quality issues I’ve been puzzling over.
What, pray-tell, is VFA?
I’m surmising it’s related to some “noise” characteristics on surfaces, spaced approx at the tooth pitch. This is what I’ve been trying to get rid of.
sounds like there are threads aplenty addressing this - will do some searching, but just a verification of my guess above would be handy.
I’m not very well-versed in what they’re offering here w/ the H2D, but I’d just like to throw this out there for anyone considering it: I’ve found over the years that a dedicated machine for each process is the best way to go.
For instance, were you to buy a small/older-model Shapeoko CNC router and put a laser on it, you would have a 2’x2’ laser platform. It would not be enclosed without further investment but, to use myself as an example, I’ve never needed enclosure, as I run mine in the garage with doors open and glasses on. I wonder whether that investment would be less than the cost of the laser functionality of the H2D.
Even if it’s slightly more costly, the separate CNC allows much more flexibility, as you can be printing and laser-ing at the same time.
Of course, there are many constraints, space required being one, learning new software tools being another, so it’s different for everyone, but I make the argument that process-dedicated tools tend to be the most useful. At least for me - humbly submitted.

There have been at least 3 printers that I have seen over the years that have come out with that function. Snapmaker even has a CNC carving function as well as the laser and 3D printer. None of the functions on the snapmaker looked all that good to me. Good enough to goof around with, but not for making anything of great quality.

Reading through the H2D wiki I found that this gif really cleared up how the extruder is switched.

Bonjour. J’étais sur le point de faire la commande mais enfin j’ai acheté en pre-commande le combo chez un autre vendeur basé en France.
Bambulab nous demande 130€ de livraison.
C’est vraiment exagéré je trouve.
De l’Allemagne à Paris c’est abuser.
Sur l’autre site j’ai eu droit à la livraison pour 39€ en 3 jours ouvres.
J’ai ainsi épargne 90€ que je pourrais bien dépenser en filaments ou d’autres accessoires…
Does anybody have a picture of video where I can see the difference between the P1 and H2D plate? I would like to see how much bigger the new one is.
Not a picture but there is a comparison here

It shows the X1C so am not sure of the diff between P1 & X1C

Thanks. This helps.
Easier to see it like this then with just some measurement tape.

In person its quite large, as I said earlier the volume is more than double of X1.

My plan is only etching stainless steel on rare occasions. I imagine ill get 120 uses before my printer looks like the one in the pic. Lol @ the folks planning on cutting wood, leather or plexi all day. Gonna be a rude awakening
@maximit Im already getting jealous lol.

Im planning to pick up the cutter kit when it comes out for leather cutting. Skipped the laser and very happy with my decision.

Smart man. I’m hoping to snatch a non laser version when they pop up. Or the 10w laser vesrion, so i have both lasers. I went so fast, i didnt see the one month wait at checkout. I yelled WTF so loud, my wife came in my mancave lol
