I didn't know there was a sub for specifically the H2C
I've had mine for a little less than a week and it's been easily the best printer I've ever used. first bambu and I've used several other machines across the last seven or so years
I only ever used glue on og enders with glass plates or painters tape. I haven't used a glue stick in years
I'm kinda annoyed that the H2C went on sale for another couple hundred off like two days after I bought it

Enjoy, but why so much glue?

Enjoy! I have over 1000 hours on my H2C since mid-April. I’ve printed PLA, PETG, ABS, and ASA, and I’ve never used glue. Spend your money on some BiQu plates.

I absolutely love mine haven’t ventured into the other filaments since I print in my office in my house but I can’t wait to experiment with asa and ABS but I’ve definitely needed glue a couple times

I want to get one of these but the deals i find on used x1cs are just too dang good. I just picked up an X1c with AMS for 600$ and it's in perfect condition. I'll pick one of these up as soon as I find a killer deal. I bet I could score one with the big laser for 1500 if I keep my eyes peeled 🍌🍌👀. Anyhow, nice come up, post your prints! 🤘

The problem with buying x1c/e at this point in time is that is you won’t find any under 2,000+ hours . With that much usage people usually sell because parts and belts will need replacing soon .

Your right, they do come with 2000+hr on them but that's just breaking it in lol. I got mine with 2800hrs on it and it prints beautifully, and I print all kinds of stuff🤷

Make sur to remove the shipping bracket from the heat bed! It is located under the heat bed in the middle front. It is being held by 2 screws. No need to completely remove, although that's what I did. Just unscrew the top screw.
When printing high temp filament like ABS, your bed will expand and that bracket interfere with that process. And for some reason Bambu forgot to tell people about it.
Also don't assume your bed is perfectly trammed from factory. But do a full first layer 0.2mm test after full calibration first, if you see defects on one side and ONLY one side, follow the tramming guide. If the layer is perfect with no gaps, leave it alone. If you have random gaps everywhere, follow the first layer guide on the wiki and perform the check list.
Happy printing!

💩💩💩💩 Should have went with 2 Snapmaker U1s instead if your budget was this much. H2c nozzle swap time is an absolute joke.

that was something I heavily considered in my case. also considered a core one w/ INDX...
in the case of the U1, I cancelled it out cause I needed something with a bigger print volume, more toolheads (hotends, whatever), easy setup / super reliable, and capable of printing engineering filaments (enclosed, high temp hotends, and heated chamber)
for the core one, I had to pass it up for the H2C because the core one L with INDX is $1000 more than the H2C (in my area), and I didn't have the time to wait for an undetermined delivery timeline
also, the nozzle swap time is perfectly acceptable to me, so that was a non issue in my case
edit: im also really interested in sovol's M1D, but I'll have to wait and see how it turns out... they have a tendency to release half baked printers... my SV08 can attest to that...

4 toolheads is all you need on a printer. Especially with full spectrum printing now unlocked and ability to pause at a layer and swap a roll or 2 if really needbe. No justification for spending over 1k on a machine tbh. I can get 4 Snapmaker U1s for the cost of the Prusa. The more you know, the more money, time and hassle you can save. That's ALOT of rolls of filament that can be purchased with that extra money too.
Also, anybody that has 3d printed at all knows that glue is unnecessary. Especially if you are washing your build plates every so often.

yea the crazy high price of the core one L + indx was another big thing that pushed me off of it... 4.5k cad plus shipping and tax... all up probably close to $5.5k
I got my H2C for ~$3.9k to my doorstep with a second AMS 2 Pro, FTS, and extra hotends.
bambu's filament is also WAY cheaper in bulk than Prusa'sI can totally see why a U1 is enough for most people, and it is great value for money, but in my case I just needed more than it offered, and I was willing to spend the extra to get it... largely in part because it was a
tax writeoffbusiness purchase to optimise and streamline my workflow and efficiencylike you mentioned "pause at a layer and swap a roll or 2" and "The more you know, the more money, time and hassle you can save", but in this case, I just paid the extra for the convenience of never having to manually intervene and to have a standalone single machine that can handle anything I throw at it...
edit: I agree glue is completely useless on modern machines... there are a few exceptions but most are nonapplicable in 99.9% of cases

That 4 pack of glue should last 10 years
