Overview
- Bambu launched the H3C AMS Combo on Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2026, selling the machine with the integrated AMS 3H filament system for US $2,499.
- The H3C centers on a nine‑tool Swaptek tool‑changer that keeps each print tool loaded and preheated and switches between tools in about six seconds to reduce purge waste.
- An integrated AMS 3H stores nine spools in a sealed chamber with two slots that can dry filament up to 85°C, and the FlexFeed extruder supports both 1.75 mm and 2.85 mm filament to improve printing of very soft TPU.
- Early reviews from multiple outlets praised the H3C’s multi‑material, mixed‑nozzle and color‑mixing results but reported software and hardware quirks such as toolhead camera initialization errors, some false‑positive failure detections, and TPU slot jams that currently require manual workarounds.
- The printer is large and heavy with the AMS attached, is pitched as a premium desktop unit, and leaked certification filings plus company comments point to firmware updates for older Bambu models and a smaller seven‑tool P3C coming later.
