May 9th shipping date. $80 shipping. 8:08am MDT is the time on my confirmation email. Would have been earlier but somehow while reviewing my order I hit something that tried to order a second printer and all the accessories I had picked. Of course it wouldn’t let me have two printers but it did double all the accessories so I had to go through and manually delete the duplicates from the shopping cart. 
they won’t. they never do. they didn’t after the last time this particular individual caused tariff messes
Sure, if winning = I still don’t get the thing I want

If it doesnt get worse, there will be black friday deals and im sure becuz of the tariffs they’ll wana hit those sales hard as im sure the current sales wont reach the levels of the previous models specially with more competition coming to the table. Previously there really wasnt much.
I just preordered the H2D…$300 jump. Wishing I had ordered on day 1.

I saw that too. Then I click on the purchase and it is a pre-order for next month? Bbl played us for suckers.
I am not sure how the tariffs would make a difference in the price in the last 10 minutes. I thought these H2D’s were already shipped to the states before the tariffs? When I ordered my X1C and parts for the X1C, it all came out of Houston. Maybe I am wrong?

Mine is also estimated for 5/9. I thought they already had units in country. I had to pay austin texas because I’m in texas, but now it doesn’t ship until 5/9?? #annoyed
Shipping was about $80 for the H2D. It wasn’t free shipping.
i understand that people have an expectation that a pre-order ships fast, but let me say that at least you have a date and it is not so far out. I got the prusa core one kit in early march, only last week was a date actually set, and it turns out it will be mid June (possibly, they don’t commit to it), this happens with all companies, the Centauri Carbon is the same (unless you bought in the first 10 minutes of it being released)

$86 shipping for the AMS2 Combo to Augusta, GA. Ship date May 09. Thought about the 10 W laser but at $250 more, decided against it. I have a Glowforge so don’t really need the laser but I did see this footnote on the H2D page, “Rotary Attachment is an optional equipment will be available soon, buy at official store”. I am wondering if that will be a 4th axis for round objects, so I was tempted.
Update: I see the H2D page has been updated that shows there will be a rotary attachment for round objects. Also, there is an optional CO2 Auto Fire Extinguisher that will be available.

I thought the same thing. I am in San Antonio and I think my X1C came out of Houston. I know that some parts I just ordered for my X1C came out of Houston.
Shipping is never free on their printers and AMS units. The minimum for free shipping on everything else went from $50 to $89.

Let me start out by saying I own multiple X1Cs and P1Ss with thousands of hours on each and a H2D is not something I would jump on buying, especially since there’s a track record of Bambu production runs with first batch issues.
If you want multiple head printing with a large print bed, get the Prusa XL with dual heads. Especially after Bambu’s price increase and they are both the same price now.
If you want a laser printer, this working space isn’t big enough to be practical as the interior engineering is designed as a 3D printer first and laser printer second. It’s going to be a pain to clean every couple months and it’s not even a CO2 laser. Get an xtool.
For cutting, get a Cricut.
Why get all these tools separately? Because there’s better value in something proven, with the respective companies investing for many years in the specific function of their products rather than a jack of all trades. You as the user will know if you actually want to invest the money in having dedicated equipment rather than something that could perform the secondary function out of convenience.
Do what sparks joy, but understand you have options. Don’t ever feel like you have to bend over and spend hard earned money for something new and shiny from a particular brand.

Ok. This is only my second printer. I have no clue how they do it.

On any orders and especially preorders folks may want to make sure their big orders are not shipping from China until tariffs stabilize. If it does ship from China you could get a really nasty surprise.
I thought we already had the nasty surprise when the price jumped over $200 in the last hour before it became available?

They ship everything from local depots, nothing comes from China direct.

IIRC my printer came from China but that was over a year ago. But for anything. Lots here buy filament and other stuff there.
Can we talk about this a little? I’ve seen other references to duties mentioned here. How does this work specifically? The only other thing I’ve dealt with is importing a Prusa printer/filament with DHL as the shipper, but it’s been a few years. I don’t remeber duties being assessed. I think it’s safe to assume that the second batch (ordered today) with an expected ship date of 5/9/25 must be coming in from China, no? They import via container vessel from China, de-board the container in Texas, and ship via domestic carrier to end users. If somehow a duty was due, wouldn’t we be notified by shipper ahead of time? Hopefully giving us time to cancel?
