I just ordered my H2D and its arriving in around 2-3 weeks, I wanted to hear from people that have gotten there H2D if it is any good. Cause im way to excited and love reading forums
Would be good to start reading this forum then. Plenty of topics already on the H2D.

Is The H2D Any Good?
Should you have done the research first?
There are teething troubles, but the good outweighs the bad, as I understand it.

like what?
and for me it’s perfect so far

Horrible, disaster, terrible… 
I have no idea, still waiting for mine in the mail.
I am very happy with my purchases. I am excited to get in the HT so I can start printing the more exotic filament.
Received mine last week and nothing but issues.
AMS will not load filament at all.
Tickets filed and no response.
Seems like I read a bunch of other folks have issues with the AMS2.
Wish I had bought a Prusa XL

- Bed screws not screwed in causing deep gauge marks on the build plate.
- Bed adhesion issues due to a none-uniform heating element
- Reports of false door open warnings
- Shipping issues causing various degrees of damage due to the large size and the huge shipping costs not resulting in two person deliveries which is part of the cost justification
- Extruders failing to cut filament before continuing
- Errant requests to remove filament from the wrong nozzle
- 0.2 nozzle issues
To name just a few, there are more on the forums and YouTube review videos.
Only issues I’ve had:
The vent thing at the back: There’s some weird screw holder things attached to the back panel of the printer that had the actual threads and it seems to have shattered/stripped on three of the four holes, so only one of the screws is actually screwing in. It still seals OK since it’s been replaced with this and thicker sealing foam.
The AMS units being daisy chained: It’s very painful to set up, and having three on the left side and one on the right side of the printer (my current config) doesn’t work well because the cable is too short to go from the left AMS to the right AMS (which is then connected to the printer). I’d have preferred to either have 1.5x longer cables and 1.5x longer PTFE tubes or have four Bambu Bus inputs on the printer and allow for a mix of daisy chaining and direct connection. The PTFE tubes (even with the 4 in 1 adapter adding some length) are too short to have them all on my little shelf on the left side. The bottom-most AMS wouldn’t be able to get the PTFE tube all the way up to the printer. Longer tubes would solve this.
Other than those I think it’s amazing. So many sensors and improvements compared to even the A1 series, which I already thought was amazing.

! i don’t have any of theses issues!
Most are detailed here on the forum, search “H2D”.
The rest are in high profile YouTube videos.
Keep in mind I said teething troubles.
I didn’t say everyone experiences them.
I have lots of quality issues with mine. Pretty unhappy with it (especially for the price point) and will return it. Pretty sure it will become a good printer over time but from my pov it’s not there yet. Early adopting is not for me I guess.
I am not willing to wait to see if I am right or not.
I will wait a couple of months and then maybe buy again - or not.

I didn’t order one for now because in the first few months, there will be always issues with every new product. As a techy im often an early adopter - but for now im happy with X1C and AMS1 + AMS2. And 150EUR for delivery, no thanks 
If you read in the forum, there are many (little to big) problems. Too many for that money in my humble opinion.

400+ hours on mine been printing non-stop (PLA, ABS, ASA, TPU, PA, PC, PPA, PPS) since it arrived and no problems here, will be ordering a second one soon. Just wanted to chime in to show not everyone has problems. I think there are a lot of people that are very happy with their H2D, but they might be the minority on the forums as a lot of people come here for help with their issues.

Mine also just runs all day and performs like it should, I’m very happy with it. I’m looking forward to a little refinement in the firmware and profiles as they continue development.

I decided to order Core One instead of H2D.
FedEx damaged the enclosure, actually pretty bad. Went to a live chat, they immediately responded, and helped identify every damaged component. Also, they provided a repair manual for those sections. 2 days - new components are here, replacement frame parts took about 4 minutes, yes, it is that easy. P1S (the one I had and tore down several times is just ashamed).
So yes. Prusa is worth at least their support. And print quality, printing engineering materials side by side, stock uncalibrated Prusa is so much more precise. Especially regarding to annoying Bambu Lab input shaper, which smooths everything out. While it’s fine for toys and so on, it is suboptimal for precise components.
Edit:Still remember my fried AP board and Carbon gantry failure on P1… printer was down for a month on both occasions while I was waiting for their support and shipment…

Enjoy the Core One, Im glad it works for you. The 290c single hot end, no reliable multi material system and smaller size would disqualify it from contention for me. Very different printers with different capabilities.
I have the X1C and the H2D. I have printed all PETG so far (about 40 hours) and find that the printing excels on most aspects of what the X1C does.
The AI monitoring of the print is very touchy. I finally had to turn it off with clear transparent PETG filament.
I know many people wished it was larger but the size was perfect for my needs. A friend also is in the same situation (X1C and H2D) and he finds that the H2D shakes violently at times in comparison to the X1C. I had not noticed that since my printer is on a large shelf bolted to the wall with two legs to the floor. If you think about it: 1. Print head is twice the size; 2. It is taller. All of that momentum/inertia is going to be amplified on the H2D.
He did mention that it seems to not affect his prints adversely.
Love the drying capability in the AMS.
Edit: I have had the X1C for a year and have done lots of ABS & ASA (looking forward to heated chamber to minimize wrapping), printed lots of PETG & TPU, and PLA. And ASA CF. But only have done PETG with H2D at this point

H2D has special anti-vibration feet, it was designed to shake. Those feet were optional on the X1.

Thanks!
Size for me is perfect, it slightly bigger than P1 in the useable volume, nozzle system is way better than P1.
Doesn’t consume as much power as H2, yet it is an ABS/ASA beast. 290 nozzle is in real world the same as 300 nozzle from P1, so no changes there. And I don’t print anything above Polyamide.
Theain requirement for me was, that it needs to be properly serviceable with a prompt response from the manufacturer. Bambu Lab over 2 years of my ownership failed in that boat so many times that it just disqualified by default … Sadly.
On a good note, finishing up retrofitting A1 nozzle wiper over there. You can say, legacy in a way hahaha.
