Hi!, I would like to request a feature for the H2C: manual control of the toolhead / nozzle camera light, plus an option to turn it on automatically during filament loading, unloading, purging, and manual filament changes.
Why this would help:
During purge and filament change operations, it is often difficult to clearly see the filament coming out of the nozzle. This is especially true with:
-
dark filaments
-
transparent or translucent filaments
-
small extrusion amounts
-
the shadow created by the toolhead area
Because of this, it can be hard to confirm:
-
if filament is actually extruding correctly
-
when the old color is fully purged
-
when the new color is already clean and stable
-
if there is weak flow, partial clogging, or inconsistent extrusion
A small light in that area would make this much easier to see and would improve the user experience a lot.
Requested features:
-
Manual light control
Please allow users to manually turn the toolhead/camera light on and off from the printer screen, Bambu Studio, and ideally Bambu Handy. -
Automatic light during filament operations
Please add an option so the light turns on automatically during:-
filament load
-
filament unload
-
filament purge
-
manual filament change
-
nozzle priming / extrusion checks
-
-
Optional setting
It would be ideal if this behavior could be enabled or disabled in settings, so users can choose their preferred behavior.
Benefits:
-
easier to verify filament color changes
-
easier to confirm proper extrusion
-
better visibility when working with dark materials
-
easier to detect purge completion and extrusion issues
-
less need to use an external flashlight
-
better overall usability for maintenance and filament handling
This seems like a small firmware/UI improvement, but it would be very practical in daily use.
Thanks for considering it.
