I have a H2C at shopping cart, wanted to get some spares Left side hot end and none available in 0.2 or 0.4?? Right side is not available in 0.2
For what I understood, you cannot mix different nozzle sizes in one job?
Kind sketch to drop $2,500 into web cart to a new machine that they are not even stocking spare parts
It’s just too popular so that everything go out of stock very quickly. And a certain dic**ead in whitehouse is making it harder for everyone to buy stuff.
This issue stems from past mistakes in supply planning, and to some extent it is still ongoing. Users have learned from earlier shortages and now hoard spare parts aggressively, which in turn recreates scarcity and teaches new owners to do the same, so the cycle continues.
On top of that, there appear to be side channels where some people obtain products before they are officially listed in the store, diverting stock that should have been available to everyone. This becomes obvious when threads occasionally appear with users showing access to parts either on the exact day they are released in the store, or even several days or weeks earlier.
H2C comes with 6x Vortek nozzles, 4 0.4mm 1 0.2mm 1 0.6mm, plus a left 0.4mm nozzle installed and a spare for that, too. My H2C is about 2 weeks old, it’s got about 200 hours on it already, I haven’t needed to replace any nozzles.
If you buy a H2C and you think you need spare nozzles right away, you might want to consider a different hobby. 
What country are you shopping in? The US store has all the left side hot ends available, and a few of the right side induction. But yea availability has been intermittent on the induction ends at best… I’ve managed to pick up a few over a couple orders in Dec. and Jan. (.2, .6 & .8 in std & HF) Though still would like some .4 HF. Sign up to get an alert when they get stock… they do come around. Boy those costs add up quickly! But I’m just getting those to have variety, none of mine have had any issues after ~300 hours overall. OTOH I don’t use many colors/filaments at the same time, so far, so I don’t really need many of the same size, so far.
And correct that you can’t currently mix nozzle sizes in one print. But you can mix regular and high flow nozzles.

Rule 4 - Have backups for backups. I usually purchase at least 2 of parts I know are critical. Nozzles aren’t one of those parts. One extra each size.
Appreciated your reply, my question or problem that I see is…you cannot use your 0.2mm nozzle combined with other nozzle, so the only way to get 2 colors on 0.2mm is by purchasing another 0.2 mm nozzle…right or left, not sure which one comes in it.
U.S. here the left side 0.2mm and 0.4mm are out of stock, Combo is also of stock
Really? Not doubting what you see… but it’s not what I see! Weird!?!
All show in stock, same with the high flows.
Do they also not show up as accessories/add-ons when selecting the printer?
For induction side “my” BL site shows standard and HF.6 & .8 in stock.

PS. There are also the Carbide nozzles if one really wants to drop some cash… And I don’t see any H2* nozzle combo even listed on the site anymore, just individual nozzles and the 'bulk sale" on the non-induction ones.
Yesterday would not light up the 0.4mm left side (out of stock), IF that is the correct one, looks different, the 0.2mm (the most I need) still out of stock, and so the Combo, combo still in the site…which is a mess to navigate as they mix all models after the first page. The picture show the Left side, why the picture show for the left side is not the same in the BL site?
This is the page with the correct left side hot ends:
https://us.store.bambulab.com/products/bambu-hotend-h2-p2s
I’m not sure what you mean about the picture… they don’t come with the silicone socks, if that’s what you mean.
If I go to buy an H2C on the site right now it also offers me all those nozzles as add-ons, at a discount. The out of stock options are grayed out or not present at all.
Are you by any chance viewing the mobile site (vs. on a desktop browser)? I find it pretty obvious to navigate to the correct Accessories page from the top horizontal menu of the store site. Never looked at it on a phone though. On a desktop browser maybe clear the cache for that site or hit CTRL+F5 to reload page bypassing cache.

Interesting, I can find that combo page if I search for “combo” in the store, but I can’t find a way to navigate to them via the menus.
That search also found https://us.store.bambulab.com/products/hotends-combo-h2-series which shows combos as being in stock. But I also can’t find a way to navigate there directly.

That’s what I was talking about the site, they should put all parts for the machine model at same place, they are spattered elsewhere. Would be nice to type “ H2C hot end “ and have everything in one page, not the case. And I think they are adding more stuff as we type because I searched for hours yesterday and never saw the bundle on your last link.
Off topic, but case in point… just now I remembered that I wanted to pick up some replacement silicone socks for the left hot end. Navigated the BL store to Accessories → H2 Series… socks nowhere to be found, only a kit that includes some along with other stuff. There are plenty aftermarket ones on Amazon (also H2 hotends 
). But after this thread I decided to search BL store site for “silicone” and lo-and-behold, replacement socks pop up.

They’re kinda fragile, rips easily between the holes at the bottom, I recommend picking up a few. BL sends one extra with the printer.
No idea about socks for the induction ends, don’t see those anywhere at all. But they’re much less fragile than the other style so hopefully will last until someone makes replacements.

Yea I’ve not tried any aftermarket parts on the printer and definitely not endorsing any. I see there are now induction hot ends listed on Amazon as well, with indeterminate manufacturing source and at very inflated prices… maybe “scalpers” I guess, which would help explain the low availability. Seems quick for someone to copy the induction design/electronics/firmware already, but maybe not.
Also I found those hotend socks, and induction end socks, and some other “consumables” in the Spare Parts department of the store, H2 section. Which makes sense but odd/confusing that they’re not also listed in Accessories → H2 → Consumables.

Pretty easily reverse-engineered, provided BBL didn’t use encryption features.
That Amazon add is for “Bamboo” Lab. We bought our printers from “Bambu” Lab. They’re trying to pull a fast one, fooling buyers in to thinking they’re “original equipment” and not an aftermarket knock off… Sneaky.
Sure, but these are “upgraded!” What could go wrong?

Like the Biqu nozzle I bought for my X1C where the screw holes for the fan weren’t threaded.
Better, but no way to actually use it.
I tapped them myself, but was so annoyed by the obvious lack of quality control I never bothered to actually install it.
