Just got my cutter module for my H2D and installed the Birds Eye camera, but when I install the cutter module I get an error on the printer about Birds Eye not calibrated, but when I look at the error, safety key is installed, printer won’t turn on otherwise 
See pics from printer
If I were you I would disconnect the camera. Cutting module can work without it but if the H2D recognizes the camera as installed it may bring it to confusion and ask for calibration which you cannot do yet without the laser module.
Disconnect the camera and re-test
The emergency stop button must be mounted on the right side of the printer in its designated location; otherwise, the machine will not operate. A Hall sensor is built into that position, and the Safety Key must be inserted in the emergency button itself — not in the back of the printer — when using the cutter platform.
Are you sure the emergency button is required when using the cutting module upgrade on a non-laser H2D? Bambu does not list the emergency button in the kit and does not mention it as being required.
I think the warning is due to the BE camera installed with an improper firmware (yet).
In this case, it’s most likely because the system detects the Birds Eye Camera and assumes a Laser Module should also be present. For printing or cutting, the Emergency Stop Button is (or at least should be) optional.
It’s just classic Bambu Lab — releasing hardware before the firmware team has had time to catch up. 
I’d fully expect a few more bugs to surface once they try to “fix” this. Personally, I’m not touching the laser until I know they’ve got it right. From what I’ve seen, there’s a lot of copy-and-paste in their codebase, and that usually guarantees more bugs when they start patching.
We’ve already experienced this first-hand, those of us running both the X1 Carbon and the H2D (any version). When they copied code from the dual-head H2D, suddenly the X1C could no longer print from the external spool — because it tried to assign it to the “wrong” printhead (on a single-head system, no less… how are you even supposed to pick that? ;)).
So in short: you’re probably right that it isn’t required for cutting, but I just wanted to point out where it’s intended to go.
Must be firmware lagging behind then.
Thanks all for the feedback, I’ll try disconnecting the Birds Eye camera and re-test, did not think of that.
Just disconnect Birds Eye camera and yes it cuts, and just to make it more fun, Bambu suite says just before you make that having the Birds Eye camera installed will make it easier to identify and align cuts…
Per the cutting module product page:
" The H2D Cutting Upgrade Kit contains all items required for cutting and drawing.
When paired with the H2D, the Birds Eye Camera requires the Laser Module for calibration. Without it, the camera cannot function with the Cutting Upgrade Kit for photo capture. Support for calibration without the Laser Module will be added in a future firmware update."
This was updated a few days ago. The cutting module still works, just no birds eye view. There is no need to disconnect the camera.
Thanks for the clarification
I have both the camera and cutting module, just installed the cutting module and not the camera and it works. I was going to install the camera next but maybe I should wait for the firmware
I’ve disconnected my Birds Eye camera for now, hopefully firmware update will be out soon
so basicly for now we dont plug the camera ? i was wondering is the camera only for taking pictures or is it for more precision ? thank you
I have the camera connected, and I’m able to cut. I’m just not able to see the camera. I have a spare MW gift card and I am debating whether to get the emergency stop button or not lol.
The camera is used so that you can have an overlay of the material you’re about to cut. This should help in cases where you want to avoid certain defects, or you want to align the cut to the material
Don’t buy the emergency stop, don’t waste your money. Keep it in your pocket.
In my opinion and experience, the cutter itself is a waste of money. If you get it to work it can only cut about 5 inches by 7 inches. It cannot even cut a design that takes up more than half the size of a standard US 11” x 8.5” or an A4 paper. I’ve not seen one single person use it on a project. Everyone just tests it and cuts some random image and then that’s the end of it’s use. I have not seen one post of anyone putting it to serious use.
It depends on what you want to do, I’ve made some logos for t-shirts, some labels for classic cars for which the original stickers are no longer procurable, some labelling, all use the full bed although I did not need the space. Print and cut is specific and the markers eat a lot of space, hope it can be improved in the future.
Of course it’s just a small area anyway if you want to design big but for €50 I paid for the kit, I’m happy
tf 70€ because yes the discount ended before the availability in eu hahaha rekt’d once again xD
I bought it as soon as it became available, there must have just been a few at that price but I was quick enough to get one. I think it’s €79 now.
I do stained glass as a hobby. I actually use the cutter module to cut my patterns. However, I agree that for “real use”, the cutter module is kind of annoying to use. I only need to cut stuff every couple of months, so this works out for me.
I could use my cricut, but the software is kinda buggy (e.g. can’t render SVGs from inkscape). Bambu Suite does work, and it also has its quirks, but it works nonetheless 
I also agree that if I wanted to give it “serious use”, I’d rather get an xtool, or something more dedicated to cutting. But for once every few months… eh. 
I use an external, dedicated cutter with a static grip rather than the sticky-grip approach they chose for the H2 series. Their solution works—but there’s definitely room for a few upgrades
