There printers that are in the us warehouse they only sold what they had in stock
if you have a printer already, just order from US companies. Thatâs literally the point of the tariffs anyway. They make our goods more competitive, which, once we all (US people) start buying US goods, the prices of our stuff will go down.

People are ordering printers from bambu and some like to stay in there ecosystem for filament with rfid and original replacement parts
I dont care what other people want to do. Thatâs fine, no hate or anything. There is nothing that can be done, and US produced filament is back on the menu at a competitive price produced at living wages.
fyi, I voted against the tariff party. Iâm just being real. I loved me some of that $10.00 Sunluu filament lmao
Thing is bambu filament did not go up in price at all for bulk ordering only the min shipping cap did so for all there color choices and compatability with rfid I still see it as a great price for only 14.99 a roll
IMO, the stuff in the warehouses are still good, once that runs out, its big oof⌠Iâm no economist so i have no idea. Iâm just chatting waiting for a print to get done haha
I do concede that I didnât realize i was in the H2D forum, so Iâm sure the new stuff ordered isnt having a good day price wise
edit: wow the tariff is up to 104% now. Time to get in good with our filament producers.
I agree with your advice with purchasing separate, stand-alone products.
Specifically with the Cricut comparison, the H2D has a cutting depth of 0.5 mm and the Cricutâs depth is 3 mm. The Cricut also allows for extremely large lengthwise projects - 12 feet. The normal printing size using a mat is 11.5 in x 23.5 in.
Not trying to be a commercial; just quite pleased with my purchase of the X1C and Cricut.
As far as the tariffs go, people should expect a massive hike now that there is a âtariff warâ with the US tariff jumping to 104% on China. This type of global war of economies made the Great Depression worse and last longer.
I hope people in charge understand the consequences of their actions. I was going to be in the market for the H2D and AMS2 in June or July, but now it is on hold indefinitely. We wanted to get our niece the A1 mini, but we must reconsider that as well. Ugh.
Thats a hard cope brother
Why canât bambu just open pre orders were you at least have your name in a list so we have to stop worrying about time 
The same people that go to the cash advance stores, or those that sign up to get paid two days before their actual payday.
I.e., people that struggle with money I reckon
Wow, this is getting out of hand 
next will be 100% extra? Are there still pre-order options in the US or is all trade suspended?
At this rate they might start thinking about shipping through the UK or another warehouse (I believe there are some penguins paying low tariffs, are they a bit on route?). That is how the tariffs were circumvented last time.

Or buy european - RatRig, Prusa. But these machines start already at a higher price point due to higher cost for labour and sourcing.
I think the Bambu Lab products have a good price point, that it is hard to compete from Europe or US just from the price. The features are also âuniqueâ (for that price) as of now. Ultimaker from Netherlands is said to have assembly lines in US, but they sell at a total different price point (Ultimaker S8 about 10000âŹ). And I do not see a point why they should be cheaper in a trade war. I guess US people will be on a consumer diet for the next four years. Hope europe just do not enter the price war, here nobody can win anything. US has a low unemployment rate about 4% ⌠consider that.

You folks are aware that European goods are tariffed too right?
Less than Chinese goods but still tariffed.
Please point me to a US printer that is comparable to a BL or Prusa that doesnât have parts sourced from china.
I saw someone mention Circut (or whatever itâs called). You realize that too will go up. Youâll be very hard pressed to find any electronic that doesnât have parts sourced from overseas. Those parts have tariffs. The US doesnât have the capability of producing chips at the output needed. Most âmade in the USâ is simply assembled in the US from imported parts. Domestic cars have parts imported and tariffed.
This is what some of you wanted. Donât complain because you got it.

I guess formlabs (SLS, SLA printers) is an US company, Fusion3 and MakerGear as well.
But nothing compareable to Bambu Lab (price range). Some smaller firms for sure exist.
First I thought RatRig is US, but they are portugese, from Faro.
Best course is to wait till it reaches a head and is so high it cant be sustained and something has to blow. Its not like minimum wage and such are being raised here so everyone will be priced out of being able to afford anything and some kinda bubble will have to burst when no one is spending anymore but the essentials, at least thats the hope. After this pissing contest is over weâll see where we land and go from there.
Except that US companies also rely on chinese manufacturing. Found on Formlabs site:

Build our printers and expand our business in Chinaâs high-tech manufacturing district.

I am not surprised. Thank you for the research. I guess in China there is a vast number of specialists and hard working people. But then it is like Apple. Good craftmanship in China and design from US. Usually you earn more with PR/marketing and IP in the USA than by producing this high tech.
Yes, because we canât manufacture the tech. The specialists that are Chinese are not replaceable with us techs

You clearly donât have a grasp on the subject. China has cheap labor but lacks tech.

Again, as Formlabs is concerned, their software does not even come from US but from Hungary.
