I was hoping Bambu Lab’s next mid-tier printer (maybe an X2C or something similar) would feature a tool/nozzle changer, but I was a bit disappointed by the FCC documents that came out a few days ago.
However, seeing this new document uploaded yesterday really surprised me. Could the ‘C’ in the new P3C filing actually stand for a nozzle/tool changer in the P-series?
A few questions for the community:
What are your price predictions?
Is a November release highly likely at this point, or should we expect to wait even longer?
What are your overall thoughts and theories on these new filings?
Honestly not sure. I did predict that the P-Series would most likely add a second nozzle though. My guess is it’ll have a 2 nozzle setup akin to the H-Series. And “maybe” will have a small Vortek system? Maybe not? But the 2 nozzles are what I’ve seen since the introduction of the P2S. That was designed to have a second nozzle. Beyond that second nozzle, I’ve not a clue.
Maybe there’s also an “educational version” that gently forces people to read the wiki or the instructions first. The printer could stay in a locked state until you pass a tiny quiz - just a few super‑simple questions to prove you actually looked at the basics. If you fail, it politely refuses to turn on and nudges you back to the documentation.
Pretty sure it will be a tool swapper like H3C but with 4-6 tools to compete with K3 and U1. Price will have to be in the same region (slightly higher) as those printers.
