Bambu Lab H3C 9-Tool Changer 3D Printer with AMS H3 System

Bambu Lab H3C AMS Combo – 9-Tool Changer 3D Printer with Swaptek™, AMS 3H Built-In Dryer & Multi-Material Printing The Bambu Lab H3C is Bambu Lab's next-generation tool changer 3D printer, built to make multi-color and multi-material printing fast, clean and easy. It ships with nine PrintTools, and each one has its own dedicated hotend, filament path and heater. Thanks to Swaptek™ 9-tool switching, material switches take as little as 6 seconds, purge waste can be as low as 0.038 g, and you never retract one filament before loading the next. The H3C pairs with the fully enclosed AMS 3H filament system, which has nine sealed slots, automatic loading and a built-in 85°C dryer. It also has a 65°C actively heated chamber, 350°C hardened-steel nozzles, travel speeds up to 1,400 mm/s and AI-powered monitoring. You can print PLA, TPU, carbon fiber nylon and more from a single compact machine. With optional CraftTools, the H3C can also cut, draw, deboss and foil-transfer. Shop the Bambu Lab H3C at Swing Design, along with the filament, CraftTools and accessories to complete your setup. Key Features of the Bambu Lab H3C Swaptek™ 9-tool changing with 6-second material switches: The H3C comes with nine PrintTools: eight for 1.75 mm filament and one for 2.85 mm flexible filament. Each keeps its own material loaded, heated and ready to go, so the H3C can switch materials in about 6 seconds, with a tool change in 3.4 seconds. Active Pre-Heat looks ahead and warms the next nozzle while the current one is still printing, so there's no waiting for it to heat up. Because each tool holds its own filament, purge waste drops to as little as 0.038 g per change. That makes multi-color prints faster, cleaner and far less wasteful than with single-nozzle systems. AMS 3H with built-in dryer and automatic loading: The AMS 3H is a fully enclosed, nine-slot filament system built for the tool changer. Drop a spool into any slot and it detects, routes and loads the filament into its PrintTool automatically. Two dedicated drying slots reach 85°C, so you can dry PA, PC, PET, TPU and carbon-fiber filaments on demand or even mid-print with selected materials. Need more colors? Connect existing Bambu Lab AMS units through PrintTool No. 1 for up to 24 filament spools in a single print. FlexFeed extruder for ultra-soft TPU up to 3× faster: FlexFeed supports both 1.75 mm and 2.85 mm filament, with a cam-driven mechanism and PMSM motor that keep tension precise and consistent. The included 2.85 mm PrintTool uses dedicated 2.85 mm TPU, which resists buckling and enables higher flow. You can print TPU as soft as 75A at up to 3× the flow rate of previous-generation printers, so shoe insoles, watch bands, grips and flexible hinges print right alongside rigid parts in one job. CMYKW color mixing and mixed nozzle sizes: Fast tool switching makes CMYKW color mixing through layered deposition practical. You can create a wide spectrum of shades from five PLA Palette filaments instead of buying a spool for every color. With additional hotends, sold separately, the H3C can carry different nozzle sizes at once, from 0.2 mm to 0.8 mm. Bambu Studio's mixed-diameter toolpath planning lets each nozzle print at its own ideal layer height, with fine detail where it matters and speed everywhere else. Flagship speed and high-temperature performance: A 40% lighter toolhead and X-axis assembly, compared to the H2D, delivers up to 25,000 mm/s² acceleration and 1,400 mm/s travel speeds with minimal ringing. All nine hardened-steel nozzles reach 350°C, and active dual-zone chamber heating up to 65°C helps prevent warping. Engineering-grade materials like ABS, PC, PA-CF and PET-CF are no problem. Four layers of cross-flow cooling keep overhangs and bridges clean, even at high speed or in a warm room. More than 3D printing with optional CraftTools: Swaptek isn't limited to PrintTools. The optional CutTool, DrawTool and DebossTool mount and switch automatically the same way. Blade-cutting, drawing, debossing and foil transfer can all happen in one hands-off job, without a second machine or manual swaps. Full-auto calibration, AI monitoring and smart diagnostics: The H3C handles PrintTool docking calibration, offset compensation and bed leveling automatically before every print. AI monitoring checks your chamber setup against the slicer before printing and catches spaghetti, purge-bin jams and clogs during the print. If something does go wrong, the new HMS diagnoses the likely cause in plain language, and MiniWiki walks you through the fix right on the printer's screen. Frequently Asked Questions What is the Bambu Lab H3C? The H3C is Bambu Lab's tool changer 3D printer. It uses Swaptek™ 9-tool switching and the AMS 3H filament system for fast, low-waste multi-color and multi-material printing. How many hotends come with the H3C? The H3C comes with nine PrintTools, each with its own 0.4 mm hardened-steel hotend. Eight are for 1.75 mm filament, and one is for 2.85 mm flexible filament, pre-installed in position 8. How fast does the H3C switch materials? Material switches take as little as 6 seconds, with a 3.4-second tool change. That's based on Bambu Lab's testing with PLA Basic in filament-saving purge mode. How much filament does the H3C waste when changing colors? Purge waste can be as low as 0.038 g per change, because each PrintTool keeps its own filament loaded. Actual purge varies by settings and filament. What's the difference between the 1.75 mm and 2.85 mm PrintTools? The 1.75 mm PrintTools are for standard filaments. The 2.85 mm PrintTool is dedicated to flexible filaments like 75A TPU and uses a bypass feed. Their bases, hotends and cutters are different and can't be swapped. Why is the 2.85 mm PrintTool in position 8? Slot 8 is the AMS 3H dryer slot. TPU absorbs moisture easily and often needs drying while printing, so Bambu Lab pre-installs it there at the factory. Can the H3C dry filament? Yes. The AMS 3H has two drying slots that reach 85°C, which is enough for PA, PC and carbon-fiber filaments. Selected filaments can be dried while printing. Can I use more than nine filaments? Yes. You can connect existing Bambu Lab AMS units through PrintTool No. 1 to support up to 24 filament spools. Can the H3C print carbon fiber and engineering materials? Yes. Every nozzle is hardened steel (HRC 55+) rated to 350°C, and the chamber heats actively to 65°C. It handles ABS, PC, PA-CF, PET-CF and other abrasive or high-temperature materials. Can the H3C do more than 3D printing? Yes. Optional CraftTools, including the CutTool, DrawTool and DebossTool, switch in automatically for blade-cutting, drawing, debossing and foil transfer. Does the H3C work with third-party slicers? It's designed for Bambu Studio. Third-party slicers that export standard G-code, like PrusaSlicer, SuperSlicer and Cura, are supported, but some advanced features may not work. How much space does the H3C need? Leave at least 593 × 1,056 × 1,306 mm of working space. That gives 385 mm in front, 50 mm on each side, 100 mm behind and 290 mm on top. With the Bambu Station L, allow 593 × 1,056 × 1,900 mm. Why buy the Bambu Lab H3C from Swing Design?
