Bambu Lab H2C Combo with AMS 2 Pro

Bambu Lab H2C Combo with AMS 2 Pro

Bambu Lab H2C Combo with AMS 2 Pro is an advanced 3D printer designed for demanding users who seek high performance and flexibility. This printer combines a large print volume, high temperatures and print speed with advanced monitoring and automation features, making it an ideal tool for semi-professional and professional users.

Bambu Lab H2C Combo with AMS 2 Pro offers a print volume of up to 330 × 320 × 325 mm³, allowing you to print large parts or multiple smaller parts at once. A maximum nozzle temperature of 350 °C and an actively heated chamber of 65 °C extend the range of compatible materials to engineering-grade filaments such as ABS, ASA, PC and PA. Induction nozzle heating in just 8 seconds reduces waiting time between material changes and increases productivity.

Vortek Hotend Change System: The H2C's Main Weapon

The H2C is the first Bambu Lab printer with the Vortek Hotend Change System. On the right side of the printhead sits a rack with 6 swappable induction hotends that the printer picks up automatically. The left side holds a single fixed standard hotend. Together this gives you up to 7 materials simultaneously with zero purging between heads.

• Contactless magnetic swap: Hotends are attached magnetically, with no connectors. Power and data are transmitted via induction and high-frequency signaling.
• Induction heating in 8 seconds: Up to 350 °C on all 7 positions.
• Onboard hotend memory: Every hotend remembers the filament it was last loaded with. No mixing up materials, no manual re-assignment.
• Zero purge when switching: The whole hotend swaps, not the filament inside a single nozzle. No purge tower, no waste when changing material.
• Expandable to 24 materials with AMS 2 Pro: Combine Vortek with AMS units for a full multi-material setup.

In practice: dedicate one hotend to an engineering filament like PC or PA-CF, another to PLA, another to TPU, and print without wasting material on every swap. The result is faster multi-material printing with less waste and more stable quality.

Key Features and Benefits

• Large print volume: The printer offers a print volume of up to 330 × 320 × 325 mm³, allowing you to print large parts or multiple smaller parts at once.
• High temperatures: A maximum nozzle temperature of 350 °C and an actively heated chamber of 65 °C extend compatibility to engineering-grade materials.
• Induction heating: Rapid induction nozzle heating in just 8 seconds reduces waiting time between material changes and increases productivity.
• Multi-material support: The printer supports up to 7 materials in a single print and up to 24 materials with parallel AMS units connected, significantly simplifying multi-color and multi-material printing.
• Advanced monitoring: 59 sensors, AI error detection and a quad-camera system help prevent failed prints, saving both material and time.
• Precision: Motion accuracy below 50 μm and nozzle offset calibration to within 25 microns ensure consistent results for functional parts.
• AMS 2 Pro: AMS 2 Pro with active filament drying up to 65 °C helps keep filament in better condition for more stable printing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How does the Vortek Hotend Change System work?

Vortek is a hotend changer system. On the right side of the printhead is a rack with 6 induction hotends that the printer picks up as needed. The left side holds 1 fixed standard hotend. Hotends attach magnetically and communicate contactlessly. Heat-up takes 8 seconds. Every hotend has its own filament memory. There is no purging between hotends, so you print multi-material with no waste. Up to 7 materials at once, and up to 24 with AMS 2 Pro.

What is the print volume of the Bambu Lab H2C Combo with AMS 2 Pro?

The total print volume is 330 × 320 × 325 mm³. For a single nozzle, this is 325 × 320 × 325 mm on the left and 305 × 320 × 325 mm on the right; for dual nozzle, it is 300 × 320 × 325 mm.
