I fill I was tricked, if they said the next printer was going to be a single version H2 I would have waited to buy it now I’m upset at them for this trick they pulled on all of us. It was a good marking got ya to spend more money, but bad customer experience. Thanks BamBOOO 
It hasn’t really been a secret for well over a month?
Never rush to buy first… wait a few months (like 6 to 8 - at least), do your homework prior to buying, check other users comments and reviews, then decide whether to buy or not. Rushing head first to buy never works out well.
Relax, now you can spend extra money to upgrade it to H2C 
You think they got you good? These crafty scoundrels have tricked me in to buying multiple printers, hundreds of rolls of filament and a wall of spare parts… I’ve got Maker Supply parts that I don’t even know what they do! I’ve been looking all day for a link to pre-order this Vortext thing. Can’t someone stop them from making products!?
yeah, we feel your pain, brother…
but what’s better is that you’re gonna feel it more
Agreed about waiting a few months I did that for both the X1C and H2D - but I guess there is a risk that if they increase the frequency of new printer releases there may never be a good time to buy.
Plus also I guess the longer you wait - then the less time there is after purchase before the next great product comes out.
Big question now I suppose is wether to go for the h2c upgrade on day one - or wait for first release hardware and software problems to be ironed out, plus maybe a price reduction or sale…
I think the precedent of providing upgrade kits for laser, cutter, vortex is a very good improvement too - as it makes buying decisions a fair bit easier.
I find upgrades to existing printers a lot easier to justify than whole new printers.
I’m for waiting out. Usually it’s an average of 12+ months after the first release of a printer (case in point, the X1C), to review early adopters’ experiences and problems, see how the manufacturer (Bambu in this case) deals with the raised issues (firmware/software/hardware), whether the raised issues are adequately tackled, and then make up my mind on whether to buy or not. In the meantime competitors may come up with new features, may launch improved products that might even drive a drop in price (again, case in point the X1C, which, when I bought the first one, was priced at 1600 euros without AMS, now priced at around 800).
Think about it this way, with the H2D you can have a roll of 2kg, 3kg, 5kg or 10kg on the left nozzle and the AMS on the right. This allows you to easily stock a highly used solid color and still have multi-color/material with the other nozzle.
It’s not awesome but it is relatively “future-proofed”
I guess that’s one way to look at it. But maybe not be upset with yourself or Bambu. If you bought an H2D it was probably based on having a potential use case for 2 nozzle/laser/cutter + hype + youtube + I want it + the price can only go up… etc. Realize that the people who bought now probably got it at a price that won’t be seen again until used ones hit the market or it becomes discontinued, the bleeding edge is always the bleeding edge and companies (especially tech related) will ALWAYS be working on the next thing, the next enhancement until they go out of buisness, wait 5 years to buy your next printer and it might be StarTrek level (which the current ones are next to 40 years ago), yes, words don’t help if you forego something like a new used car or family vacation to afford the printer, can’t help with that, (I read that run on sentences and bad grammar really farc with AI so I do my part).
Man you’d really hate Creality, they prob released a new printer when I started writing this sentence and one as soon as I completed it lol. Quantity over quality
tricked?
This is a normal sales model. sell the premium item for early adopters and prosumers and then release the regular model followed by the budget onen
For example, the x1 carbon was released, then the P1p.
We see this with lots of things, like graphics cards, the 5060 wasn’t released until after the 5090 and 5080. the last model to be released was the budget 5050.
Instead of crying like you do, if you feel sooooo “tricked” by having such a wonderful printer, feel free to sell it and get the H2S…
As for Bambulab’s customer service, I personally had to reach to them a couple of times already since last year and they ALWAYS been awsome to me. Always had the expected service and even more than expected from any other tech companies in 2025…
One flower doesn’t make spring.
Yes I do dislike Creality, they were part of the old problem. Make a printer so fast they seem to just label it V2,V3 ect. and never really upgrade the machine.
Wait, is something wrong with the H2S? I am planning on buying one soon.
My suggestion is to wait a bit, at least until real users post their reviews, either here or on other relevant users media. Don’t rush your decision to acquire the printer based solely on sponsored “inflencers” or paid promoters on YouTube. Wait to see how it really performs, what software/hardware problems show up and the manner in which Bambu deals with them, and how long it takes to do so…
My 2 cents.
I have 2 bamboo a one machines and I’ve had nothing but success with them. I’ve had a couple of minor hiccups but ugh nut, they’ve been great. Believe me I’ve done a lot of research on this stuff and I really want to get a core x. Y bamboo.
Your money, your call.
I was an early adopter of the A1 (full-size) and that turned out to be a massive exploding burn factory. (Some hyperbole involved)
Early adopters are risk takers.
