- Our score: 6.3 out of 10
- Price: $1,549 (checked Oct 27, 2026)
- Status: on sale
- Best for: makers and small shops that want two materials per print
- Skip if: you mostly print PLA and want to spend less
- HTML version: https://robotsforthat.com/robot/bambu-lab-h2d/

## Verdict

The H2D is a large, heated chamber printer whose two nozzles cut purge waste in two material prints, and it can add a laser and cutter. It fits serious makers and small businesses that print engineering filaments or want one machine for printing and crafting. Skip it if you mostly print PLA at home, since it costs $1,549 or more and weighs 31 kg.

## Pros

- Dual nozzles reduce purge waste
- Large 350 x 320 x 325 mm total volume
- 350 C nozzles and 65 C heated chamber
- Optional 10 W or 40 W laser and cutter
- Editor's Choice at Tom's Hardware, 4.5/5 at TechRadar

## Cons

- Expensive, especially with laser combos
- Heavy at 31 kg and needs a lot of space
- Proprietary replacement parts
- Still purges filament with more than two materials
- USB drive needed for LAN printing and timelapse

## Questions buyers ask

### Can I add the laser later?

Yes. Bambu Lab sells a laser upgrade kit for the standard H2D; it uses an external air pump.

### Does it work with the AMS lite?

No. The H2D works with the AMS, AMS 2 Pro and AMS HT, but not the AMS lite.

### Do I need a USB drive?

It prints without one, but LAN printing, timelapse, recording and log export need a USB drive, which is not included.
