Bambu Lab H3C 3D Printer Bundle With 4 AMS 2 Pro Units: Up to 24-Color Printing
The Bambu Lab H3C is Bambu Lab's first third-generation 3D printer, and this bundle pairs it with four AMS 2 Pro filament systems for serious multi-color and multi-material work. The H3C is an enclosed CoreXY printer built around the Swaptek™ 9-tool changer. It has nine PrintTools, each with its own hotend and filament path, so it switches materials in as little as 6 seconds with purge waste as low as 0.038 g. The included 9-slot AMS 3H works alongside the four AMS 2 Pro units for up to 24 colors in one print. With a 330 × 320 × 325 mm build volume, a 350 °C nozzle, a 65 °C heated chamber, and speeds up to 1,400 mm/s, it's made for print farms, product designers, and makers who want full color without the waste. Shop the H3C 24-color bundle at Swing Design.
Key Features
Swaptek™ 9-Tool Changer With Almost No Purge Waste
Most multi-color printers push out a long purge every time they change filament. The H3C gives each color its own PrintTool and hotend, and Active Pre-Heat brings the next tool up to temperature before it's needed. A tool change takes as little as 3.4 seconds and a full material switch as little as 6 seconds, with purge waste as low as 0.038 g. That means faster multi-color prints, far less wasted filament, and smaller purge piles. You can even mix nozzle sizes in one print using optional hotends.
Up to 24 Colors With 4 AMS 2 Pro Units Plus the AMS 3H
The H3C's 9-slot AMS 3H is sealed, RFID-enabled, and has a built-in 2-slot dryer that reaches 85 °C. Add four AMS 2 Pro units, each with 4 airtight, RFID-enabled slots and drying up to 65 °C, and you get Bambu Lab's maximum H3C setup. The four AMS 2 Pro units feed PrintTool No. 1 and eight AMS 3H slots stay available, for up to 24 colors (4 × 4 + 8). Keeping 24 spools loaded, sealed, and dry means less swapping and more time printing. With Bambu PLA Palette filament, CMYKW color mixing can produce over 180 shades from just five base colors.
Engineering-Grade Materials and a Heated Chamber
With a 350 °C max nozzle temperature, a 120 °C heated bed, and active dual-zone chamber heating to 65 °C, the H3C handles PLA, PETG, TPU, ABS, ASA, PC, PA, PPS, PPA, and carbon and glass fiber blends. All nine PrintTools ship with 0.4 mm hardened steel hotends. A dedicated 2.85 mm PrintTool prints soft TPU down to 75A, and the FlexFeed servo extruder delivers up to 40 mm³/s of hotend flow.
Fast, Smart, and Fully Automatic
The H3C prints at up to 1,400 mm/s with 25,000 mm/s² acceleration. Before every print it automatically handles PrintTool docking, offset compensation, and bed leveling. Built-in 1080p live-view and toolhead cameras power AI monitoring that catches spaghetti failures, purge-bin jams, and clogs. A door sensor, filament run-out detection, nozzle clumping detection, and power-loss recovery protect long jobs, and an H11 HEPA filter with activated carbon handles fumes.

Bambu Lab H3C Specifications
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 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 included with the H3C AMS Combo?
The combo includes the H3C printer, the AMS 3H, the 2.85 mm PrintTool pre-installed in Slot No. 8 (the dryer slot) and a Textured PEI Plate. It has everything you need for full FDM printing, and all you add is filament.
What's the difference between the 1.75 mm and 2.85 mm PrintTools?
The 1.75 mm PrintTool is for standard filaments. The 2.85 mm PrintTool is dedicated to flexible filaments like 75A TPU. Their bases, hotends and cutters are different and can't be swapped.
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.
