H2D Spares Case (Completed)

4/7/2025

0 Comments

 
I missed the boat on getting an H2D before the Trump tariffs blow up the price.  The original price was just a bit out of reach, but now it's gonna be a lot further out of reach (and they are also out of stock anyway).  In any case, getting my hands on an H2D ain't happening anytime soon, if ever.  

But as soon as it was released, I opened a support case with MakerWorld to ask if I could either get 3D models of some of the spares they include with the H2D, or possibly if there is a way I could get some of the physical spares.  I explained that my intention was to design a spares case, similar to the A1 and X1/P1 spares cases which I've previously designed.  They told me there were no 3D models available for the spares, but they would send my request up to another department to review.  I asked the same question back when I made the A1 spares case, but they could not help with the spare then, which is understandable as it's an odd and unique request.  Fortunately, when I designed the A1 case, there was a lot of help from the community, and as luck would have it, the same happened with the H2D spare parts. 

While I've been waiting for more news from Bambu regarding the H2D spares kit, I was messaged by an H2D owner who asked if I had plans to modify my other spares cases to work with the H2D spares.  I explained the situation with needing dimensions for the spares, since I do not have an H2D myself, and fortunately they were willing and able to help out.  I explained that all I could offer them was thanks and acknowledgement, and they were cool with that.  I'm not gonna mention their handle here, but I will do that once I release the design, and make sure they approve.  But huge thanks to them for the dimensions I was provided (and also for testing prototype holders)!  I now have some working designs for hotend, cutter, wiper and sock holders, which I can use to fill out an H2D spares case. 

There are currently two layouts which I need to choose from.  Both have two modules which will install into the case, and one has a small compartment in addition to the modules.  There are labeled as "C" and "D" below.  I think the "C" option may provide more flexibility for future updates related to laser modules, but I think both should be able to accommodate the 10W module, and the drag knife (in place of the hotends).  I've asked Bambu Support if they know the approximate dimensions of the 10W and 40W laser modules, which will help me decide on a layout.  Both the layouts shown in the first image below will maximize hotend storage.  But regardless of which option is chosen, I plan to offer some modules with compartments instead of hotend modules (as an option), for at least one of the modules shown. 

Once I can pin down the layout, think I can knock this design out pretty quickly.
Update 4/12/2025: I decided to go with the "option D" layout.  The design is almost completed, but I found that the 40w laser module is going to be too big for this case design.  There may be a way to fit the 10w module however, but I do not have a design for that planned.

The pics below show the H2D case prototype, with three modules.  The module on the lower left can either use a hotend holder (which holds 6 pairs), or a compartment module.  The small module on the upper left holds cutters and wipers, with a small compartment which can hold other spares.
Update 4/17/2025:  Thanks to the help of a kind user over at MakerWorld, who tested the models with his H2D spares (and also provided details dimensions), I think this is getting close to being done.  Something that was noted however, is that only one magnet is needed to hold the hotends (the design has 2).  After thinking on that, I decided to use one slightly larger magnet, with the option to use either an 8x3 cylinder magnet, or an 8x8x8 cube magnet.  Whichever magnet was not used, could have a label plug installed to cover the hole, and also help to label the hotend slots. 

I'm still working on these labels, to tune them so they will press fit in, but the magnets will require superglue to install.  I don't want to make the magnet holes too tight (for a press fit), since there could be some variation between magnet suppliers, and it's easier to go a bit larger, than having it too tight where the magnets just will not fit.  The pics below show the concept for the label plugs.  I plan to make some labels for all the existing hotend types (0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 0.4 High Flow).  The labels are small however, so the names will be abbreviated to fit.
The case design is now uploaded to MakerWorld:
