How it works (and what doesn’t!) - Bambu Lab H2C first impressions  @TeachingTech
Uploaded November 2025 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago
Another Bambu Lab release, this time the flagship H2C. This one has something significantly innovative, the Vortek nozzle changing system. In this video, I show how it works and point out the strengths, as well as the weaknesses associated with the overall concept.

There are some issues that may be hard to get around depending on your preferences, but if you are upgrading from an earlier Bambu Lab AMS system this is still a step forward in every way.

This printer was received free of charge for testing and comparison. I signed an embargo to not discuss the printer until the release date. As always, there were no other restrictions. This machine was tested in accordance with my review policy and all opinions expressed are my own.
