Bambu Lab's new H3C 3D printer features nine hot-swappable 'Swaptek' tools, each with its own built-in nozzle and dedicated filament path, making it the company's fastest multicolor printer yet. It ships with a standard 2.85mm tool for soft TPU filament used in 3D-printed shoes, alongside the option to buy a 1.75mm tool for $59, and will support add-on cutting, drawing, embossing, and foil-transfer tools in the future.

Bambu Lab launches $2,499 H3C 3D printer with nine swappable nozzles

Bambu Lab has unveiled the H3C, a $2,499 home 3D printer that uses a 'Swaptek' toolchanger system to switch between nine different print heads in six seconds. The printer can load nine spools of filament at once, letting users combine colors, mix rigid and flexible materials, or blend different nozzle sizes within a single print job, though it still deposits only one material at a time.
