I still don’t see any real advantage unless you absolutely need the laser/cutter modules or every single millimeter of the build plate. In my opinion the H3C or later the P3C just seems like the much better all-rounder. But hey, to each their own!
Oh when you buy the new H3C Combo on launch day and so excited to get it. It feels like Christmas. You watch that beautiful tracking and see it arrives home. Get it unboxed only to be like where’s the AMS? Franticly go back to your order and research only to see the AMS comes a week later. YAY!
That has gotta suck…sorry bro…
…I guess look at the bright side? It will be like a second Christmas when it gets there…
That’s annoying. At least you can get the main unit unpacked and its box and trash thrown away / recycled. Then when the AMS3 comes it will be easier to deal with.
Waiting on my H3C, coming from an X1C and a P1S. Can’t freaking wait. I got the Bambu stand as well as having my stuff on wheels is an absolute must have in my workshop.
The lack of one handed quick swapping nozzles is the only thing I’m bummed about. My X1C and P1S have been fitted with the Revo quick swap nozzles for a long time now and I love not having to take anything apart to swap nozzles.
Does anybody know why there isn’t a dedicated H3 Series category in the forum yet?
Speaking for myself, I’d wait to trash the printer box, until the AM3H arrives, the combo is installed and everything works as it should, Having previous unpleasant experiences with Bambu and non Bambu printers, I was glad for having kept the original box, so I was able to pack properly the printer for a safe return to the warehouse.
In fact, even if everything works fine from the start, if you keep the box at least for another month it wouldn’t hurt either.
Just the five cents of a cautious old man..
Yeah you’re right, better safe than sorry.
I will choice h2d over h3c anytime because of the several reason:
- I need constant drying, because all of my filaments are hydroscopic
- H2 was field tested, most of the issue were fixed and I’m familiar with it and i know all the downside which minimize my downtime
- In my case h3c cost almost as my much as 2 H2Ds
- I don’t print multicolor and i don’t think i will
- All of my prints never require more than two nozzles and even though i have extremely niche use cases such as double tpu, it’s more than enough.
- I have print farm and i constantly print with different types of materials, i can print with abs in heated chamber and after that print petg. Manually unloading low temp filaments is a huge waste of my time
- Unified and tested nozzles across all of my printers range, new nozzles doesn’t improve anything, not even volumetric speed.
- H2D looks more premium and feels ike true industrial machines.
- Printing with different sizes of nozzle introduces additional waste and doesn’t really save as much time as many think. I better just assign it to A1 to keep my h2d occupied with other jobs and it will save me much more time.
The only reason i thought to buy h3c is because loading and unloading ppa-cf and pps-cf is little time consuming, but comparing with compromises that h3c has its nothing
I dont think H3C improves those. You still need to load them from external spool or AUX AMS. The filament path is a bit more straight but thats about it.
