The 340mm is the last number and the height. Its due to the toolhead assembly being shorter than H2D so extra 15mm of vertical print volume. It might be 350/340x320x340mm.
Also, on a Photshopped creation argument, I wouldnāt expect someone to cleanly recreate the deletion of the left side cutter block assembly. They would have needed to create the pictured one digitally and make it look real. Those types of details are tough to Photoshop.
One thing that becomes obvious is that the information in this photo is serverly lacking. From the fact that the camera angle is so low to the horrible quailty. Also the zoom in on the print that blocks the majority of the back of the printer. This could be one of two things though, more of the realstic view is that it is fake and photoshopped. Now as others have stated this could be an early prototype for the H2D but I doubt that. This looks more like a P2S than an H series printer. That being said, if its real which we will learn more information about as we go its most likely a leak from Bambu themselves to provide hype around this new printer. That being said I wouldnt go with the latter. This printer seems to have more of an A1 and P1S look than an H Series. Now that being said it does incorporate many of the features of the H2D with lighting, nozzle, ect. But this printer honestly just looks photoshopped. Also the post said this would be a flagship? Bambus only flagship printer will be the H2D for the forseeable future. Not that any other printers wont get attention of course. That being said if this is real it will most likely phase out the X1C entirely.
Another detail that makes me think its real is the lack of the window on the side. That makes sense for a budget sensitive version but again, not a detail most people trying to recreate it would foresee.
Im willing to bet its real with any doubters. 
H2D HF hot end? Any takers? 
This is just like when I posted the H2D last year in speculation thread and people were yelling āfake! photoshop!ā non-stop.
Why couldnāt somone just photoshop a new assembaly all toghther? Why even use the one on the H2D? We can clearly see this picture has an intersting details and some questionable things. It looks more like a P1S and A1 nozzle assembaly thrown toghther. I would not rule out even AI photoshopping seeing as how far it has come these days.
I agree with that, if it is real this printer will phase out the X1C. The H2D is still priced to high to do that fully. I believe instead of getting and H2D version or P1S version this will be the one we get this year. Like how the P1P took things from the P1S and X1C we will see this printer take a little from the A1, from the P Series and from the H2D.
yeah a lot make sense.
- You can make the toolhead shorter by having no switching mechanism ā higher position Aux fan plus increased build volume height.
- Aux fan already has two height options so it can be put higher.
- Removal of windows - no window, no LED lighting, no reinforcement beam - this is a no brainer for a cost-down version.
- Mysterious wider eyeball window - why would anyone Photoshop this?
- Dr Tao on his last CNCK interview said he considers the A series second gen along with the H2D - so it makes sense that they would reuse parts from there
- And the Lidar or whatever it is on the right - it makes sense to keep that because people will buy the vision encoders
Not saying you canātā¦ just that it not easy to do it well. I do photography and doing clean recreations like this is difficult. This would probably account for 50+ hours to create and clean up so well. Not sure if AI would spit out a clean one as a photorealistic image, but that would be the only option that would make sense to me. But from the AI generated photorealistic images Iāve seen, doesnāt leave me with enough confidence to say it would be this clean.
Its intersting we get a leaked photo if this printer like this. Throwback to when the H2D got orginally leaked it was a photo taken of the whole printer. Intersting that we get such a close up and personal picture of this printer. I wonder if this Bambu throwing out leaks to hype up new printers. This printer will most likely sit around $1200 phasing out the X1C. Clearly it does not have two nozzles and instead opps for more of a 2 AMS needed sitaution. Wondering if this will have anything the H2D wont. I assume not. Maybe this printer will sit in the middle of the AI features of the X1C and H2D.
Its for sure bambu leaking stuff to keep peoples attention and from buying competitors machines. The leaked photos always give away a little info and hide the other. A real leaker would give more details and better photos.
Exactly, I feel like the h2d gained a lot of attention and anticipation due to the so-called āleaksā. I know I was potentially going to get an X1c if they werenāt coming out with any new version anytime soon.
You donāt have to rub it in, I apologized remember! lolā¦
Iāll not doubt you again. You say this is real, I believe it.
Thank you for the vote of confidence but I meant the other guy that was way less charming than you and quite rude.
I feel like if it is a real photo it wont be dropped this year, maybe not even next depending on how things go. All the tariff uncertainty and the H2D Machine only still hasnt even happened yet (like without the combo stuff). Its true that it prices a lot of people out, but from a selling standpoint Iād think theyād want to have it all logistically shipping smooth and available, maybe hit with with discount code on holidays/black friday before really giving up any kinda detail about something new. I mean we can be certain they are working on something new if they want to stay relevant lol. I was always curious if they would step in to the Resin printing space. Thats a space that I feel like needs something to take hold and be the reference point. Honestly thought weād see that before a laser
Iām sure the K2 max or whatever sales will take a hit.
I reckon a novel way to switch filaments quickly for a single nozzle given by the big eyeball window (and increase AMS sales)
H2D actually became available without AMS in Canadian store a few days ago.
I doubt it, because the plate is bigger. To replace the workhorse that X1C is, it would have the same standard plate size. Most of users donāt need and donāt want a bigger build plate.
The printer that can replace X1C will have everything that H2D has, except the dual nozzles, bigger builld plate, and the lazer/cut integration.
Iām fairly certain this is real, as it logically follows the pared-down feature set using common build and parts from H2D and A-series. Iām also confident itās an internal leak, to be expected.
I like it, weāll be seeing it fairly soon, and itās a smart offering no doubt 
I think this H2 is coming next and they will have an X2 after that with the same toolhead. Im thinking they will push X2 downmarket and we wont see another P series since the A series is covering that territory and you cant put out a P1 type screen in todays marketplace with todays competition. They will propably do plastic panels instead of aluminium to push down the price on X series.
