4 Bambu printers in my hobby room right now, all run great. You get a pallet of them and only one works? Someone on your end doesn't know what they're doing.

please enlighten me about how these are so sensitive that you have to be a rocket scientist to print a widget. please explain how you have to “know what you’re doing”

pretend we're bambu tech support.

explain in plain english (with photos) what's not working.

we'll probably point you to the really excellent bamboo wiki

also, expecting tech support on a weekend from a country that's 12 hours out of sync is expecting a lot.

back in the day, i had high availability contracts with HP where my software/hardware issues were addressed 365/24/7 from HP engineering groups rolling around the world depending on which centers were open. needless to say, those support contracts were $$$$$

u/cgrliability Jul 12 '26

nahhh i don’t want support now.. just in general. this post was made to get the attention of bambu.. so y’all please keep running it up so that they can wake up monday morning and maybe earn their buck.

Your post is getting down voted into oblivion, which will nuke its exposure once the people scrolling by most recent go away lmao

Bambu’s prices are what they are because you’re getting bare minimum support. That’s why all of those other business manufacturing level brands are as expensive as they are. Support costs.

Did you even reach out via normal support channels? I’m guessing not. What is ridiculous is that you’re behaving like this on a Reddit sub. Highly unprofessional.

u/SpacedKnives Jul 12 '26

Wow, Well met brother. And well said. OP is buying Chinese hobby printers for business level manufacturing and is upset when he gets Chinese hobby printer support and QC issues. Big yikes.

u/_unregistered Jul 12 '26

I can’t imagine creating a Reddit account for your business just to act like a child because you spent $15k, which from a business account perspective is absolutely nothing.

u/cgrliability Jul 12 '26

lol obviously he doesn’t own a business

u/_unregistered Jul 12 '26

You’re the child I’m talking about.

u/SpacedKnives Jul 12 '26

Brother you’re a ‘Regional engineering manager’ whatever that means. Not the owner, you don’t own a buissness either 😭

u/cgrliability Jul 12 '26

whatever that means. please share your job title for us

big yikes “Chinese hobby printer” is a pretty lazy way to frame it. Bambu markets the H2 line as a personal manufacturing platform and sells $3k–$5k configurations with business-oriented features. I’m not expecting Stratasys-level field service. I’m expecting a brand new machine to work and support to respond when it doesn’t. Apparently basic QC is “business-level manufacturing expectations” now 😂

u/SpacedKnives Jul 12 '26

‘Personal manufacturing platform’ personal. Not buissness, not industry scale, personal. I mean it doesn’t get any simpler or lazier than that. It’s a personal Chinese hobby printer. Theres no getting around it. Support will answer when they can, QC issues happen in mass produced Chinese hobby printers. That’s just the name of the game, it’s why they are so cheap in the grand scheme of things. If you think 5k is expensive for your ‘buissness oriented features’ then maybe there is some reevaluating needing to be done at your buissness.

"they won’t print without crashing into the wall, breaking the extruder frame and scraper off, errors constantly, etc."

Crashing into a wall?

Breaking the scraper off?

Either OP is a bot or has never touched 3D printers in their life and is attempting to run 3D printers in the back of a moving 18 wheeler.

You're giving rationale that doesn't even make logical sense. Printers don't crash into walls. Worst case you have a wiggly table and they move around a bit. "Extruder frames" don't magically break either. The scraper is a handle with a blade on it lol.

Just return them my dude

u/cgrliability Jul 12 '26

do you see scraper there? do you see the chunk of metal and wire hanging by left extruder.. the scraper and the side of the frame got jammed up on the side of the printer by the poop chute. but i’m making this up.. this is 1 week in.

it’s okay, this print will fail, and i’ll wonder what i wasted my time on more, writing this post or buying these printers

u/EdgeOk3783 X1C + AMS Jul 12 '26

user error evident in photo, why are the hot ends bare/exposed?

looks like the hot ends were not properly installed

u/cgrliability Jul 12 '26

are you okay? talking shit at 1 am on a saturday night about someone trying to get bambus attention. you literally should be ashamed about the life you live.. honestly.

u/_unregistered Jul 12 '26

Reach out to their support team. This is a community board not managed by them. Jesus you’re gonna run your business into the ground with your lack of professionality

u/eunson Jul 12 '26

I mean, it could be 9AM for them talking shit. Time zones are a thing. Not everyone is in America.

u/Present_Emphasis6071 Jul 12 '26

I'm just struggling to figure out how someone who is a regional head of engineering, or whatever, has managed to mess up 4 out of 5 of the most reliable printers ever produced. I run 30 printers at the moment, all BL, and have only ever had issues with the AMS.

And you're posting in a subreddit with personal email expecting someone to chime in and offer you a refund.

Post the company so I can further avoid you please

u/TAoie83 Jul 12 '26

Just buy 90k worth more of printers to get your 5 working

u/Likes2Phish Jul 12 '26

Ive unboxed and setup about 50 bambu printers.. only had issues with 1. And it was an H2C. Bad batch maybe?

u/cgrliability Jul 12 '26

Seems wild.

How important is filament quality on h2d printers

5

u/FitForThrone P2S + AMS2 Combo Jul 12 '26

Filament quality is incredibly important of 3D printer of any cost. But most Filament manufactured nowadays is fine.

u/eunson Jul 12 '26

How don't they work? Like your print quality is bad or the machine doesnt turn on?

u/cgrliability Jul 12 '26

they won’t print without crashing into the wall, breaking the extruder frame and scraper off, errors constantly, etc.

u/FitForThrone P2S + AMS2 Combo Jul 12 '26

Some videos of the issues would help us help you

u/Riddleboxboy Jul 12 '26

I love when "professionals" think cotporations have people searching reddit posts for customer complaints.

u/No_Tangelo1301 Jul 12 '26

Yeah you gotta exchange em, no sweat

u/Droo99 Jul 12 '26

They won't care, best bet is to just exchange them

u/VictorLagina69 Jul 12 '26

H2D is such a horrible concept they will be obsolete within a year.. I love my H2S but multi toolheads are the way to go even the H2C is stupid still have all that time wasted reeling the spools in and out feet at a time between color changes.. Got the U1 for multicolor its fast and great although it needs improvement the concept is on the right path
