Bambu Lab H2C Combo

Bambu Lab H2C Vortek Combo – waste-free multicolor printing in up to 7 colors

Bambu Lab H2C expands the professional H2 series with the revolutionary Vortek Hotend Change System, which solves the traditional problem of multicolor printing – large amounts of purge waste and time loss during nozzle cleaning. Instead of the classic "multi-material through one nozzle," the H2C uses automatic hotend replacement, so each color has its own nozzle. On the left side is a classic lifting nozzle, while on the right side is the Vortek module, which can robotically switch between up to 6 wireless hotends. In total, you have up to 7 nozzles / colors available with almost zero purge waste and minimal risk of cross-contamination.

Main advantages for users

• Up to 7 colors without purge waste – 1 left lifting nozzle + up to 6 automatically exchanged Vortek nozzles.
• Significant material and time savings – almost no purge waste, fast nozzle switching, shorter print times for multicolor models.
• Wireless hotends – no cables or pogo pins, communication via integrated chip and induction heating with temperature ramp-up within seconds.
• Large H2 print volume – up to 350 × 320 × 325 mm (depending on nozzle mode), suitable for large parts, functional prototypes, and small series production.
• Actively heated chamber – up to approx. 65 °C, hotend up to 350 °C, heatbed up to 120 °C – stable printing of ABS, ASA, PA, PC, CF/GF composites and other technical materials.
• Full integration with AMS 2 Pro / AMS HT – Vortek handles the nozzles, AMS supplies the material; scaling up to 24 filaments in an AMS chain.
• CoreXY with optical motion calibration (Vision Encoder ~5 µm) – high precision, quality surface, and reliability even at high speeds.
• Ready for laser module (optional 10W/40W) – one platform for 3D printing, engraving, cutting, and drawing.

How the Vortek Hotend Change System works

The Vortek system is designed to eliminate the need for long nozzle purging between individual colors:

• In the right part of the toolhead is a hotend magazine, from which the printer automatically selects and exchanges up to 6 nozzles.
• Each hotend is attached magnetically, contains an integrated chip, and uses induction heating – no physical connectors or wiring needed.
• The chip stores information about the nozzle (temperature, type / color of material) and wirelessly sends it to the toolhead.
• This allows each color to use its "own, even intentionally dirty" nozzle, without the need for purging.

Result: minimal waste, clean colors, shorter printing, while maintaining the existing multi-material workflow logic via AMS 2 Pro / AMS HT.

Typical use

• Design studios and agencies – rapid production of color prototypes, product mockups, and presentation models without enormous waste.
• Manufacturing and industry – functional parts from technical materials, marking with color details, multiple materials in one assembly.
• Architecture, modeling, cosplay – large-volume, detailed, and colorful projects with minimum manual finishing.
• Custom printing – more economical multicolor printing, better margins thanks to material and time savings.
