Question about laser and cutting module

Hello everyone!

I’m still new here and have a question about the new H2D printer for you.

Unfortunately, I only got the standard model in the combo package at the time, as the laser was already sold out. I didn’t think much of it since I already have a separate laser anyway and don’t need to use the H2D beyond its intended purpose.

However, I wanted to have/test the drawing and cutting module, as I like to try out all sorts of things. I thought I could simply purchase it later when it became available again. Unfortunately, today the support team informed me during a conversation that these extensions can only be used together with the laser module!

Why is that? I’m not going to buy a laser module just to attach a cutting accessory! Does anyone here have the laser variant and can tell me why this is necessary? Is there perhaps a way to print a sort of laser dummy afterward to still use the devices? Technically, nothing from the laser is necessary for this, or am I wrong? Maybe the additional camera is required, but the expensive laser module seems absolutely unnecessary to me, especially since I already have a better laser cutter anyway. :see_no_evil:

Thank you for your time and help in understanding and possibly solving this problem!

Yeah, it seems like they haven’t finalized a plan for dealing with an upgrade yet. The main thing you’ll need is the Birds Eye camera system.

I’ve heard that they’ll offer an upgrade set for the standard model. I’d be surprised if they limited that to just a bundle containing a laser and cutter.

Either way, you’ll need more than just the cutter module.

I don’t know but the Support sent me this answer and it does not sound like there are plans to use it without the laser… quote:

Regarding the other concerns, yes, the brush and cutting functions can only be used after the laser module has been installed.

The birds eye cam can be installed without a problem I think but the original laser must be replaced by a dummy I guess. Would be nice if Bambu would think of a solution for people with the standard H2D.

That sounds strange, given that you either install a laser module or the cutter module. Never both at once.
I guess we gonna have to wait and see what options pop up in the online store.
