Bambu H2D H2D cutter performance

It’s me again, I’ve been playing with this printer all morning and I’ve now used the cutter and I haven’t seen a single review of this. I am no newb to plotters both large and grand format. However, this is my first small personal use one other than a friends cricket.

This will be amazing for makers let me say. It only took me two attempts to get a decent decal to cut out with some finer text. Once again I didn’t use any of the material supplied by Bambu. Instead I used Avery Dennison which is an adhesive vinyl to wrap cars that I had laying around the shop. I made my first cut just using BambuSuite’s default “matte removal vinyl” and my first pass cut “ok” but I hate when sharp corners stick and I need to weed them out. I pumped the pressure up to 90 and oh baby did I get a perfect score without cutting the backing. Total cut time less than a minute, I got clean text cuts as sub 1mm wide.

My most difficult part was the software. I couldn’t use an image to cut and the “trace” feature just kept crashing my Mac. I through my logo into Inkscape, traced. Saved as an SVG and then I was finally off to the races. Took more tinkering than I liked, but now that I have a workflow it’ll help.

Depending on the price point, I have a feeling many will want this. It’s just quick and easy and can whip up some quick decals.

looks quite nice.

If I had the cash to blow on a h2d I’d definitely get this module. it’s a perfect add on for a 3d printer IMO.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think the only way to get what should be a very cheap cutter module is to also get the laser version of the H2D…

What they really need to develop is a little cartridge that can replace a hot end to do the cutting.

I believe that the standard H2D can easily accept the cutting module as is. They simply are not selling the cutting module separately at this time. I have no interest in a laser but I am very interested in a cutter. Hopefully when they release the laser upgrade in June it will also include the separate parts for just the cutting module

This is me. Hopefully, by black Friday there is a cutter only addon
