Bambu Lab dropped a bombshell announcement just one hour after the release of its newest 3D printer, the H2S. The company revealed the H2C, a tool changer-like system that it says will hit the shelves before Christmas.
The H2C promises to tackle the problem that plagues every Bambu Lab 3D printer with an AMS: printer poop. This “poop” is the waste purged from the nozzle as it is cleaned between color changes. Most color systems for 3D printers have multiple spools connected to one tool head, with one shared nozzle. Because it’s impossible to remove all the melted plastic from a hot nozzle, a certain amount is pushed through the nozzle as waste.
