The $2,499 machine introduces the Swaptek front-mounted rack system alongside an airtight AMS 3H material feeder to streamline complex, multi-filament fabrication. To prevent moisture-related print failures, two of the feeder's slots function as active 85-degree Celsius dryers that operate mid-print. Early evaluations showed several initial drawbacks, including false failure alarms, manual loading requirements for flexible TPU, and a nozzle maintenance process requiring tools and partial disassembly.

Three years ago, I told you how home 3D printers had evolved for speed, producing parts in minutes that used to take hours or days. Now, the next evolution is here: printers that can swap between materials on the fly, mix different colors to produce nearly the full rainbow, mix soft and hard materials, and even mix different sizes of nozzle and different diameters of filament so you can switch between high speed and fine detail in a single print.
Bambu’s nine-nozzle H3C foretells the future of 3D printing
The Bambu H3C is a tool-changing, color-mixing, nine-nozzle printer that keeps your filament dry too.
The Bambu H3C is a tool-changing, color-mixing, nine-nozzle printer that keeps your filament dry too.
Today, Bambu Lab is announcing its most advanced 3D printer yet, the $2,499 H3C, which can do all of that mixing goodness — by loading nine different rolls of filament into nine different print heads.
Even if you’d never buy a printer this pricy, even if you’ve sworn off Bambu printers for good, the H3C is the perfect vehicle for me…
Executives are positioning the company's base of more than 2.5 billion active devices to run both proprietary features and partner tools, including Google Gemini technology. Despite achieving record fiscal-year financial results, the tech giant warned that rising memory costs will pressure holiday profit margins. The strategy focuses on driving monetization through future hardware refreshes, subscription commissions, and paid tiers for server-dependent capabilities.
Embedded systems developers can now execute and modify programs straight on mid-range microcontroller hardware without tethering to an external development environment. Designed to minimize dependencies, this lightweight software delivers high portability alongside built-in tooling directly on target boards. This approach streamlines standalone experimentation by packaging development and execution into a single, compact system.
Rockstar Games has instructed players to clear substantial console storage ahead of next month's highly anticipated release. The studio confirmed staggered pre-load windows across platforms to help users prepare for the massive file size. Because the release is strictly digital, all players will need to complete the massive download regardless of how they purchase the game.
