Check out PCBWay.com for a number of specials running through the end of September including 80% off of FDM TPU prints when your print is more than 64 grams! https://www.pcbway.com/ Bambu Lab recently revealed their H2C 3D printer with the new VORTEK nozzle-swapping system — but can it really compete with full tool-changing printers like the Prusa XL, the upcoming Snapmaker U1 or Bondtech's INDX? In this video, I break down how Bambu’s hotend-swapping approach works, compare it to traditional tool-changers, and share the biggest pros and cons of each system. We’ll look at print speed, purge waste, reliability, cost, and multi-material capabilities — then open up the discussion to see what YOU think. 👉 Would you rather have a cheaper, waste-efficient nozzle-swapping system like the Bambu H2C, or the proven flexibility of a multi-tool changer like the Prusa XL or Snapmaker U1? ⚡ Links mentioned: Bambu H2C Announcement: https://blog.bambulab.com/h2c-is-on-the-way-heres-how-it-all-started/ My Etsy Stores: https://directedt3chprints.etsy.com https://bladesandbeams.etsy.com Here are a few items I use regularly (Amazon Affiliate Links): Vogma V9s Air Duster - https://amzn.to/468PY6Y VIVOSUN Wireless Bluetooth Hygrometer Thermometer - https://amzn.to/3HLzYPP 24-in-1 Magnetic Screwdriver/Ratchet Set - https://amzn.to/4dLhURu Wisedry 5lb Silica Gel Beads (Reusable) - https://amzn.to/4mCKfgX Digital Hygrometer/Thermometer - https://amzn.to/3StDGj1 Weighmax Digital Postal Scale - https://amzn.to/3F8J5ZN SanDisk Ultra Fit USB drive for H2D (Tiny!) - https://amzn.to/4m988wu Elegoo Rapid PETG Filament 4pk (~$12 per kg!!) - https://amzn.to/3QHoIp5 Overture PETG Filament (Black) - https://amzn.to/3O912IM Overture PETG Filament (White) - https://amzn.to/3U3Ve7p Overture PETG Filament (Transparent) - https://amzn.to/3vM0dPZ Elegoo Rapid PETG Filament - https://amzn.to/3VaI9ti DJI Mic Mini - https://amzn.to/3GY4oO2 Decibel Meter, Tadeto Digital Sound Level Meter - https://amzn.to/3y9cHCk Adonstar Digital Microscope - https://amzn.to/3U1yc15 Metal Business Cards - https://amzn.to/3TG8K0D AnkerWork M650 Wireless Lavalier Microphone - https://amzn.to/3RiP9ko
