FAQ

General Questions

Q: Does the H2S support laser and cutting functions?

It supports 10W laser and cutting but does not support 40W laser.

Q: Can a non-laser H2S be upgraded to a laser H2S?

Yes. The upgrade kit and its installation guide will be available later this year.

Note that the upgrade kit uses an external air pump, which differs in installation structure from the built-in air pump. It must be installed externally and connected to the machine via an air tube. The upgraded printer has the same functionality and processing performance as the laser version.

Q: Can the H2S be upgraded to an H2D?

No, it is recommended to choose the model that suits your needs when placing an order.

Q: Is the H2S compatible with the first-generation AMS or AMS lite?

The first-generation AMS is fully plug-and-play compatible with the H2S for multi-color printing but does not support AMS drying. Due to fundamental differences in the feeding mechanism and buffer structure, the H2S does not support AMS lite.

Q: How many AMS 2 Pro and AMS HT units can the H2S support, and how many colors can it print?

The H2S supports up to 4 AMS 2 Pro and 8 AMS HT units, totaling 12 units with 24 filament slots, enabling up to 24-color printing.

Q: Are the hotend and silicone sock of the H2S compatible with the H2D or A1?

The H2S hotend and silicone sock are compatible with the H2D. While structurally similar to the A1 hotend, they are not fully compatible.

The H2 series hotend is specifically designed for H2 series printers, offering optimized compatibility, such as higher maximum volumetric flow rate, lower clogging risk, precise nozzle offset calibration for left and right hotends, and automatic hotend type recognition via the live view camera. For optimal print quality, we strongly recommend not using the A1 hotend on H2 series printers.

Using an H2 series hotend on an A1 printer is feasible, but it requires the H2 series silicone sock.

Q: Are the H2S and A1 series toolheads the same? Can the components on the toolhead be shared with the A1 series?

The H2S tool head features a completely new design, with optimized and upgraded components, including the extruder motor, filament drive wheel, hotend heating assembly, and cooling fan. As a result, the components on the H2S tool head are not compatible with the A1 series, except for the cutter blade.

Q: What intelligent detection functions does the H2S support, such as AI spaghetti detection, blob detection, empty printing detection, or filament buildup detection?

The H2S is equipped with intelligent sensing modules, including a servo extruder motor, buffer (integrating filament tangle detection, material presence, and buffering), live view camera, and an optional birds-eye camera, enabling various intelligent detection functions.

Buffer: Filament tangle detection

Servo Extruder Motor: Empty printing detection, extruder motor overload detection (clogging detection)

Live View Camera: AI spaghetti detection, blob detection, purge wiper buildup detection, foreign object detection, build plate detection, hotend type recognition, quick-release lock recognition for laser and cutting modules, cutting mat in-position detection, flame detection, camera obstruction/dirt detection

Birds-Eye Camera: Laser mat in-position detection, laser mat offset detection

For more details on the intelligent detection functions of the live view camera and birds-eye camera, you can refer to this Wiki.

Q: Does the H2S support motion accuracy calibration, and is the calibration plate from my previously purchased H2D compatible?

It supports motion accuracy calibration, and the H2D calibration plate is compatible.

Q: What are the main functions of the camera on the H2S toolhead?

3D Functions: Motion accuracy calibration

2D Functions: Build plate offset, planar height measurement, surface engraving, print-then-cut die-cutting

Q: Does the H2S come with a standard USB drive, and what functions are affected without one? What are the USB drive specifications?

The package does not include a standard USB flash drive. You can still initiate printing normally without a USB, as the printer has built-in storage space to run print files.

However, without a USB inserted, the following functions will be affected:

The recording and time-lapse photography functions can't be turned on;

Printing cannot be initiated through the LAN;

Print files cannot be sent to the machine for storage through the Bambu Studio;

Log files cannot be exported;

USB requirements: USB2.0 protocol or above (actual minimum write speed needs to be greater than 10M/s), supported file formats are FAT32 and exFAT. and the printer only supports mounting one USB, and cannot connect multiple USB via a USB hub.

Q: What is the noise level during normal H2S printing?

When the H2S is printing the built-in high-speed benchy, the average noise level is 50dB, with a peak noise level of 55.6dB.

Note: The background noise level is 40dB, and the testing distance is 1 meter.

Q: How much space is required to place the H2S or H2S with AMS setup?

For optimal operation, it is recommended that the H2S be placed on a stable horizontal surface. AMS 2 Pro/AMS HT is securely positioned on top of the H2S. The Emergency Stop Button is properly mounted on the right side of the printer, and the spool holder is installed on the left side.

Total Required Space (W×D×H): 800×1020×1050 mm³

Width: The Spool Holder + H2S Body + The Emergency Stop Button

Depth: Front Door + H2S Body + Rear Cables

Height: H2S Body + AMS 2 Pro

*Width expands to 1100 mm with side-mounted AMS 2 Pro.

Q: What precautions should be taken when using the laser function?

Laser processing involves high-energy beams that may interact with flammable materials. Never leave the machine unattended during laser operation, ensure no flammable or explosive items are nearby, and refer to the Laser Safety Document for detailed safety guidelines.

Q: Why is it necessary to remove the air pump screws, and what is the role of the air pump?

The air pump fixing screws secure the air pump during transport to prevent collisions with the printer.

The laser air pump provides high-pressure airflow during laser cutting to clear smoke, prevent charring of material edges or ignition, and protect the laser lens from smoke contamination. When used with the automatic top vent, filter switch flap, chamber exhaust fan, exhaust grille, and exhaust pipe, smoke is expelled outside the printer. Refer to the exhaust pipe installation guide for more details.

Q: Where can I find more information and FAQs about H2S?

You can refer to the H2S FAQ for more detailed information.
