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 wasnāt 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 againā¦

I really want to know if he actually puts them back together lol. Iām digging the fact that the idlers are replaceable now. No need to worry about that anymore.
Iām 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 Iām hoping the teardown doesnāt 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. Doesnāt 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. Iāll 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.

Iāve watched your whole video yesterday and was pretty impressed by your work. Kudos to you, Sir

Regarding the toolhead: thereās ānecessarily complexā and thereās āovercomplicatedā. And IMHO the H2D toolhead goes far into overcomplicated territory.
Isnāt 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
Iād 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!
Iām a mechanical engineer and I can only say, that the level of Bambulab is just insane in almost every aspect. The engineering, level of complexity, while still maintaining realiabilityā¦ And they did everything in an extremely short time. Iām 100% sure this was only possible because of their network of trusted suppliers for all kind of components they had from DJI times. Even if you are good in engineering, you are dependent on a lot of suppliers and their level of qualityā¦
If the printer worked after reassembling; great job, very impressive!
I donāt regret buying the H2D. The only waste of money was for shipping (290ā¬ in my case). They should find cheaper options for that. I mean, it is only 40kg, not 1t.

Iād imagine people would eat that up. Most donāt really need the enclosure, but would love having the dual nozzle. Not to mention with how many have shown great interest in the cutter module, it would satisfy a good chunk of users wants.

I still canāt understand the part of title of this post, have you been sanctioned for the teardown?
Basically, they asked me to do it.
In this case sanctioned means approved instead of the second meaning of punished.
Definitions from Oxford Languages Ā·
sancĀ·tion
/ĖsaNG(k)SH(É)n/
verb
past tense: sanctioned; past participle: sanctioned
-
- give official permission or approval for (an action).
āonly two treatments have been sanctioned by the Food and Drug Administrationā
-
- impose a sanction or penalty on.
āforeigners in France illegally should be sent home, their employers sanctioned and border controls tightened upā
Another reason I donāt respect that language, you need to memorize it not learn it.

I suspect the whole printer is going to be a big pile of regret for them from a warranty point of view. Support leans heavily on pushing what should normally be warranty returns into āwhat if we send you this free XX board to try, it will be much faster than returning the printerā cost shifting. Anyone who watches any arbitrary 5 minutes of this video will say āno thanks, just send me a new printerā.
