Can Bambu’s VORTEK System Compete with Tool Changers?
[Go]
Bambu Lab recently revealed their H2C 3D printer with the new VORTEK nozzle-swapping system — but can it really compete with full tool-changing printers like the Prusa XL, the upcoming Snapmaker U1 or Bondtech's INDX? In this video, I break down how Bambu’s hotend-swapping approach works, compare it to traditional tool-changers, and share the biggest pros and cons of each system. We’ll look at print speed, purge waste, reliability, cost, and multi-material capabilities — then open up the discussion to see what YOU think. ???? Would you rather have a cheaper, waste-efficient nozzle-swapping system like the Bambu H2C, or the proven flexibility of a multi-tool changer like the Prusa XL or Snapmaker U1?
