This youtuber says he received an H2D from Bambu for the purpose of doing the video teardown:
I can see how a lot of labor went into putting it all together in the first place!

I wasn’t particularly worried about it being overpriced before but honestly after seeing all this I feel like it was money well spent, at least to me

I doubt that one will ever print again… 
I really want to know if he actually puts them back together lol. I’m digging the fact that the idlers are replaceable now. No need to worry about that anymore.
I’m still curious about the Y axis bearings. Did they design it so that they are in fact replaceable? Obviously from the video we can gain access to them, but I’m hoping the teardown doesn’t have to go as far as taking the whole motion system off like he did in the video.
He said he had to solder servo motor wires during reassembly. Doesn’t mean it worked when he was done but I think he tried to put it back together.

I can confirm. Everything reassembled and currently printing pa6-GF. I’ll probably replace the extruder motor before I forget just because I did properly break it and had to repair in a kind of shoddy way.

Imagine what they could get the price down to in H2P form. No heater, aux fan, glass, panels, panel sensors, exhaust fan, filter etc. Maybe $1500 or less would be nice.
I’ve watched your whole video yesterday and was pretty impressed by your work. Kudos to you, Sir 
Regarding the toolhead: there’s “necessarily complex” and there’s “overcomplicated”. And IMHO the H2D toolhead goes far into overcomplicated territory.
Isn’t it the end result that has to be worth it? But yes, I am also impressed that they could push this level of complexity at this price
I’d say so as well. I am really looking forward to see what the Bondtech Indx is going to bring to the table, I hope some big brand will jump on it (maybe next gen Bambu/Prusa, although I doubt it?). That seems to be more in line of what people had hoped for than the H2D.
Unnecessary inventions did have a nice result printing pla&tpu together though and the lasercut bamboo really elevated his clock design, so it still has capabilities no other printer has at this moment
Oh and I know teardowns will happen either way so it is better to have a selected youtuber do it with permission, but still, nice move on Bambu in this age of restricting access and reparability (although I dread the moment I need to replace bearings or something, but I could do it myself, and that is what counts)

Great content man thanks for that!
