The H2C's Vortek system swaps hotends wirelessly — no filament purging, no switching waste. Each material has its own dedicated nozzle, enabling true multi-material production including soluble support combinations.
With up to 6 active hotends and the Vortek architecture, the H2C supports 7 simultaneous material slots — the highest material count in Bambu's lineup.
At $2,399, the H2C is positioned above the H2S as Bambu's flagship professional tool-changer — targeting studios and engineers who outgrow filament-switching AMS multicolor.
7 linear rails, 4 independent Z motors with Quad-Gantry Leveling, and a flying CoreXY gantry — the core architecture of the Voron 2.4, pre-assembled and ready to print.
Ships with Klipper pre-configured with Input Shaper, Pressure Advance, adaptive mesh bed leveling, and Obico remote monitoring — no configuration required to start printing.
One of the largest open-frame CoreXY build volumes at this price tier. The AC-powered bed heats quickly and handles ABS, ASA, PC, and PA with a 300°C capable hotend.
