Bambu's largest bed-slinger build volume, big enough to print full-size helmets and large props in a single piece rather than in glued sections.
The A2L stores several calibration sets at different heights up the Z axis to keep the faint vertical banding of tall bed-slinger prints under control.
An add-on blade-cutting and pen module extends the A2L beyond printing for sticker cutting and plotting workflows.
The H2S offers 220% the print volume of the X1C. At 1000 mm/s it is also Bambu's fastest printer, making it the top choice for high-throughput professional production.
The enclosed chamber with active heating handles the full engineering filament spectrum — ABS, ASA, PA, PA-CF, PC, and PPS — with consistent results across the full build plate.
The H2S supports up to 12 AMS units (4 AMS 2 Pro + 8 AMS HT), enabling 24-filament printing for large-format multicolor production.
