Speculation about new printer announcements

Fresh speculation is back on the menu! Yee Haw!

I was just talking to a friend about this, speculating on what would be taken out from the H2D.

So far we’re thinking the laser/cutter support, possibly the chamber heater might go. Vents? Hmm, the auto vents are neat, but that could shave a few pennies towards a P2D.

Going to be called just ā€œH2ā€ without the D for Dual. Might be 340x340x340 if the remove the space reserved for laser air pump.

The second one was just a replacement sent by support because the first one didn’t work. I suppose they were pretty generous with that move :person_shrugging:

I believe I spent roughly $700 on the SV08 (got it a couple months after it came out), and then I got the P1S, also for $700.

Why would this be slotted?

A1 isn’t. Maybe it’s fed by two filaments at the head, and it swivels back and forth between them? So, you still have to purge between changes, but at least it’s a bit faster to complete a changeover cycle?

Yes for sure, there are also two PTFE tubes visible.

Cool. We cracked the big secret on the first attempt. :sunglasses:

So, presumably the printhead is lighter and can therefore print faster than the H2D, depending on the scenario.

I wonder how it handles the feeding of the filament into the single hot end entry.

Again, not sure why my video posts dont have thumbnails anymore, but its this video. He talks alot about heat expansion of metal parts, and the affects of it on one axis. Hint Hint. Also talks about controlling bed heating watts for north america and also to stop weird warping and allow the bed temps to settle. I love the voron folks. Smart people. They also added a feeder to help with tpu. I believe he said it uses a bearing instead of toothed gear to push it.

Wow, over 700 design iterations! Proof that it’s easier said than done. I wonder whether or not he ever will be done? Until then, IMHO, he’s not truly in the game. Why? Because lots of people talk about what they will do someday almost as though it has already happened. I’m usually not interested, because 99% of the time they never actually do it. Take, for example, all the youtubers who have started a project to have a multi-toolhead 3D printer. Even though they may start, I bet very few will actually finish, which makes watching their progress a waste of time unless you know for sure that they actually did finish in some future episode.

You may want to add it to the list of forum software dysfunction that I started:

In my case, notifications are now working only intermittently, and seemingly at random, and so I’m missing a lot of follow-on comments. I have so many threads that there’s no way I can keep track of it all manually. Until it gets fixed, I’ll probably be posting less.

Yeah. 700. crazy huh? Voron does their own beta testing.

IIRC, Dr. Tao said Bambulab did 1,500 prototypes for the H2D. As per usual we’re in the dark as to how many were distinctly different and how many were copies of the same iteration (everybody in the company would want their own copy of the current rev to work on), but if the Voron guy did 700 and remains unfinished, I suppose 1,500 is plausible? I imagine the 1,500 could be higher because of laser and cutter accessories forcing even more iterations.

They put the sources up on github now, Inside of the SV08 max feeder

Awesome. I wish I could see behind the big drive gear, to see the secret sauce. Thanks.

I’d like a model with a dual nozzle, discard the laser module option. Although it would be nice if the laser were a separate device, more than anything because of the dust it generates.

I’ll post the video anyway. Even if i see it by 500 views only but i still don’t get the content at all. However, I don`t get everthing he says (just god that I do not have to).

The poster has been into 3D printing longer than I, but he’s one of the newer YouTubers. At first I simply thought that at least one of those who focused on the half-life of the content… and was so clever that he kept his fingers away from the quickly evaporating printer reviews (at least it it comes to clickrates after several month).

I don’t know how someone won, if for the first time they no longer have any 3D printer that I would buy now. Looks like a younger Youtuber how already got stuck in the past. Nokia versus Apple, who won - Android so how is still talking about Appel - of course there are still some… And how owns Android - i think it is Goolge. However, I don`t get it at all… They know how business works? Well, among the blind, even the one-eyed man is king. I just do not get it :wink: This week I had another reviewer’s top 3 reasons for the Elegon Carbon ā€œbecause they deliver what people ask forā€ and now I see ā€œHow Bambulab has wonā€? Against which one and way?

And just a small add. if Google would like to get the STL search since it becomes importand, they will have it by tomorrow…
