H2D Specs Leaked

I think there will be a market, for smaller production teams who don’t want or have the space for 3 different machines

Granted its a small market and for most of us its the printer we care about, and they will do a laserless version

well… im a bit excited to see the price the 25th… the only thing tho is im pretty sure i dont want a laser engraver as i really dont see the use for it. ive had a laser pecker and barely used it as it smells a lot in the house and it get dirty… didnt like the to clean it every time, smelled so bad that i took it out as i didnt want to harm my dogs. so even if there is a air filter, the mess that it does in the printer is just too much

imo its a bit stupid that you cant add more ams pro with 4 slots … like 6 ams pro ? why would i want to plug in all the HT seperatly thats so weird

it said to get to 25 you could use the 2nd nozzle as a dedicated feed. I didn’t see anywhere that it said the second nozzle had to be a dedicated feed.

I’m only speculating based on the math. How do you get +1 when everything is symmetrical? You have a dedicated path.

We should make a bingo card for the big post release drama points

What’s gonna fail, who gets offended etc

The FAQ says the nozzles are identical and interchangeable. I am hoping you can set up colors for your print and the software will figure out the most efficient way to print using the 2 heads without having to adjust setup.

where do you see that nozzles are interchangeable ?

Hey guys, only 4 days left. After 4 days, we will learn all the information about H2D. But I still thank all participants for the information. The only thing I’m curious about right now is the price of the H2D combo. :grin:

well the way i see this is : This means that both the left and right hotends in the system (likely a 3D printer) are exactly the same in terms of design, components, and materials. Because they are identical, you can swap them without any issues—they will function the same way regardless of which side they are installed on… so i believe it does print with both nozzle no ?

also the other thing i saw says that i will reduce time of 100 layers by 10mins ? so my guess is that it does uses both nozzles while printing and the specs says you can use 2 nozzles as the printing specs are saying with 2 nozzles you have X amount of printing space and with 1 nozzle + X space

That’s not how I read it. Yes, the nozzles will be interchangeable as a spare part, but they have different filament paths. TPU and various CF filaments will have a designated (possibly required) path. So… while you may be able to choose, it appears they have set it up to work best with the appropriate filament types. The recommendation may just be simply a reference to which path is straightest, or it may mean they have specialized that path with hardware to enable easy printing with softer TPUs. Can’t say, but I don’t know that I would call them identical just yet.

When you slice the file in Bambu Studio and send the print task, you can freely choose to use the left hotend or the right hotend. For some filaments, such as TPU and PPS/PPA-CF, it is recommended to use specific hotends for printing.

What wasn’t mentioned at all was the possibility of printing with two different nozzle sizes. Technically it should be possible right? Perhaps later down the road with a firmware update?

The slicer would need to support it. I think Prusa Slicer does, so updating Bambu Studio shouldn’t be too difficult (however I don’t build or write software). However, I wouldn’t get hopes up too high at launch.

I really curious to see all the ways that people are gonna use the duel nozzle. Like I’m wondering if we could do like a PLA outer layer, then have a PETG or some other material for the inside.

I hope there is clarification if the AMS setup only works for one nozzles, or both. From the specs listed in this thread I could convince myself both (a) all AMS only work with the first nozzle, second nozzle is external spool only AND (b) nozzles can both use the AMS.

If it’s in this thread somewhere and I missed it apologies. Super excited!

Another possibility is that you can do both, but max of 6 AMS systems. So 24 colors if you have it divided between the two, or all 24 on one, and a dedicated filament for the other.

I think we will be ok
