Overdue for a refresh — no successor announced yet. Prices should be at their lowest
Best for: Professional makers and small studios who need dual-material printing for engineering parts with soluble supports — or true dual-color without purge waste.
Full details →Early in release cycle — no urgency to wait
Best for: Makers who need an enclosed printer capable of engineering filaments (PA, ABS, ASA) with optional multicolor, and want more build volume than the K1C at a lower price than the Bambu X1C.

The H2D prints two materials simultaneously from two nozzles. This eliminates purge tower waste and enables true dual-material prints including PVA/PLA soluble support combinations.
350×320×325 mm gives more print area than the standard 256 mm Bambu models — suited for larger professional parts.
The H2D supports a wide range of engineering filaments including PA-CF, PETG-CF, and PC with its enclosed chamber.
Unlike most budget enclosed printers that passively trap heat, the K2 Pro actively heats the chamber to 60°C — critical for reliable ABS, ASA, and PA-CF layer adhesion.
The K2 Pro's cubic build volume gives you 50% more printable space than the Bambu X1C (256×256×256 mm) — ideal for large functional parts and prototypes.
The Combo version includes Creality's CFS (Creality Filament System) for 4-color filament switching. Works across the Creality K-series lineup.
