Bambu Lab H2D 3D printer review: Your own personal manufacturing hub

Setting up the H2D couldn't be easier. Unlike the fiddly builds of older 3D printers, this machine arrives almost fully assembled straight out of the box. Simply place the AMS unit (the box that holds and automatically feeds the filament into the printer) on top, connect the tubes and cables at the back, and power up. The H2D then takes care of all calibration and setup, guiding you step-by-step through the entire process, including installing the filament. This is one of the first printers to offer up to five filaments out of the box – four in the AMS multifilament unit and one for standard or specialist materials on the side. These specialist materials, such as carbon-fill and TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane), put far greater demands on printers but offer more flexibility, especially for professional use. I dived straight in and started printing the benchmarks. One of the big advantages here is that the Bambu Lab software, BambuStudio, is straightforward to use, with plenty of online help to get you started. Compatible with both Mac and PC, you can use it with your computer connected directly, or, if you have the printer in a workshop, you can operate it remotely through your home network. When the H2D laser full combo was announced, many of us hoped for a true multi-toolhead 3D printer, but at the moment, only the Original Prusa XL offers this potential with four tool heads. While the H2D is a multi-toolhead machine, those additional toolheads are modules that clamp onto the front of the main print head. These include the laser, cutter, and plotter modules. The always-in-place 3D printhead features two nozzles, meaning two filaments are always ready to go, double the usual amount, but less than many of us in the community had hoped for. Why are more heads better than one? Well, it means there is less material waste and more speed, so two nozzles in one toolhead is a good halfway house. The waste issue really only becomes apparent when a third material is introduced, as one filament has to be retracted so the new filament can be used. As the filament swap is being managed and to avoid cross-contamination, the old and then new filament are purged to clear the nozzle, and this is where the filament waste can start to stack up. For the majority of the test, I placed the black filaments on the outer feeding spool, as it was the most commonly used, and this fed into the left-hand nozzle, cutting down on retractions and purging, with only the filaments in the AMS going through the right-hand nozzle needing to purge as they swapped. When it comes to the more specialist materials, such as the rubberised material TPU, these can't go through the AMS and must go through the left nozzle supplied by the outer spool. The issue here is that the setup to get TPU printing requires the stretchy filament to be rerouted through the back of the machine through a third hole, which can prove fiddly, however good the end result is. With standard materials such as PETG (polyethylene terephthalate glycol-modified), PLA (polylactic acid) and ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), this machine is highly optimised, so print failures were virtually non-existent during the initial tests. To put the idea of using the H2D as a personal manufacturing hub to the test, I designed a simple GoPro-style handlebar mount. Multiple copies of the design were printed across the platform in a high-impact material, ASA (acrylonitrile styrene acrylate), which is both water- and UV-resistant, making it ideal for small-scale projects. The STL (stereolithography) files that I had created in a computer-aided design (CAD) application were imported directly into BambuStudio and then sent through the network to the machine. The total time for 28 units to print was one day and 11 hours, so it is by no means fast, but still quicker and cheaper than having tooling made for injection moulding. Once the print had finished, it was time to swap the tool head to create the packaging. The cutter, plotter and laser all use a new piece of software called Bambu Suite, which, like Studio, is well laid out, but you'll probably need to spend some time familiarising yourself with the layout before diving in. The next step was to create a product box. To start, I installed the pen head, which clamps in front of the 3D print head and, in turn, the cutter. Then, the graphics and meshes were loaded into the Bambu Suite software, everything was lined up, and then all that was left to do was hit go. The pen got to work, drawing on the card to create simple graphics. Each pen has one colour, but swapping for another is quick and easy if you want multiple shades on your material. Once the graphics were finished, I swapped the pen for the cutter tool to cut out the box shapes, then manually glued them together. With everything set up in the Bambu software, once I'd hit go, each box was cut out perfectly and, unlike laser cutting, there was no scorching – just clean, precise lines. The whole process of producing 28 GoPro-style mounts and accompanying packaging took about two days, although most of that time was spent printing. In reality, the active time is mostly spent laying things out in the Bambu Lab software and then assembling the boxes. A major part of this machine is the laser cutter and engraver. If you want to sell in shops or at events, you'll need a display to show off your products. Swapping out the toolhead, removing the cutter and replacing it with the laser cutter takes just a couple of minutes. Using 3mm basewood ply, I laid out my design in the Bambu Lab software and sent it through to the H2D – another streamlined process. Once the laser finishes cutting safely in its enclosed environment, the basewood can be removed. The parts push out and assemble easily with a bit of PVA glue, and I used the engraver to add a logo to the display, for a touch of personalisation. When using the laser engraver, you do need an extractor. Bambu Lab makes its own, which I used for this review, with the filtration system helping to cut down fumes from both the laser and 3D printing processes.

Dow briefly hits record high on UnitedHealth boost; Trump-Putin meeting in focus

Aug 15 (Reuters) - The blue-chip Dow briefly hit a record high on Friday, as UnitedHealth's shares jumped after Berkshire Hathaway raised its stake in the health insurer, while investors assessed mixed data to determine the Federal Reserve's next monetary policy move. A meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin was also on the radar, with markets hoping it could pave the way for a resolution to the Ukraine conflict and determine the outlook for crude prices. The meeting is scheduled to take place at 1900 GMT. UnitedHealth Group (UNH.N), opens new tab gained almost 14% and was on track to log its biggest daily rise since 2008 after Warren Buffett's company (BRKa.N), opens new tab revealed a new investment in the health insurer, while Michael Burry's Scion Asset Management also turned more bullish on the company. Rising costs in the broader healthcare sector and about a 40% slump in UnitedHealth's shares this year have left the Dow (.DJI), opens new tab lagging its Wall Street peers on the road to record highs. The price-weighted index last scaled an all-time high on December 4. The healthcare sector (.SPXHC), opens new tab gained 1.8% on Friday and is on track for its best weekly performance since October 2022. At 2:04 p.m. the Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI), opens new tab rose 134.90 points, or 0.30%, to 45,046.70, the S&P 500 (.SPX), opens new tab lost 7.43 points, or 0.11%, to 6,461.11 and the Nasdaq Composite (.IXIC), opens new tab lost 57.72 points, or 0.27%, to 21,652.95. More broadly, Wall Street's main stock indexes are on track for their second week of gains, buoyed by expectations that the Fed could restart its monetary policy easing cycle with a 25-basis-point interest rate cut in September. The central bank last lowered borrowing costs in December and said U.S. tariffs could add to price pressures. However, recent labor market weakness and signs that tariff-induced inflation was yet to reflect in headline consumer prices have made investors confident of a potential dovish move next month. "The question is, has the tariff gotten into the price of goods yet? And it appears that there hasn't," said Joe Saluzzi, co-head of equity trading at Themis Trading. Saluzzi also said while markets have largely priced in a September rate cut, investors might be overlooking risks, with low volatility and rich valuations pointing to a sense of complacency. In a mixed day for economic data, a report showed retail sales in July rose as expected, but consumer confidence and factory production numbers indicated tariffs were taking a toll on other pockets of the economy. Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee was also cautionary in his remarks. Trump has said he will unveil tariffs on steel and semiconductors next week. Among other stocks that were on the move, Applied Materials (AMAT.O), opens new tab tumbled 14% after the chip equipment maker issued weak fourth-quarter forecasts. Shares of Bank of America (BAC.N), opens new tab dropped 1.4% after Berkshire Hathaway reduced its stake in the second-biggest U.S. lender by 4.2% to 605.3 million shares. It still owns about an 8% stake in BofA. Intel (INTC.O), opens new tab surged 5.7% after a report said the Trump administration was in talks for the U.S. government to potentially take a stake in the chipmaker. Declining issues outnumbered advancers by a 1.22-to-1 ratio on the NYSE. On the Nasdaq, declining issues outnumbered advancers by a 1.29-to-1 ratio. The S&P 500 posted 10 new 52-week highs and no new lows, while the Nasdaq Composite recorded 77 new highs and 72 new lows.

Court clears Trump to proceed with mass firings at top US consumer watchdog

A federal appeals court set the stage for the Trump administration to resume firings at the top US consumer watchdog, ruling in a split decision that a lower court lacked jurisdiction in temporarily blocking the mass layoffs. The ruling will not take immediate effect, the court said on Friday, to allow lawyers representing workers at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and consumer groups to file for a review of the case by the full circuit court of appeals for the District of Columbia. The ruling is the latest twist in the legal battle over the fate of the CFPB, as the Trump administration has tried to fire 1,500 of the agency's 1,700 employees. The agency has returned more than $21bn to US consumers since its founding. Russell Vought, director of the Office of Management and Budget and the architect of Project 2025, the rightwing blueprint drawn up ahead of Trump's re-election, was appointed acting director of the CFPB in February. The Trump administration has yet to nominate a permanent candidate for the director role since withdrawing its previous nominee in May. US circuit judges Gregory Katsas and Neomi Rao, both Trump appointees, ruled in favor of the administration on Friday. The district court behind the initial decision 'lacked jurisdiction to consider the claims predicated on loss of employment', the majority wrote. In a dissent, circuit judge Cornelia Pillard, who was appointed by Barack Obama, said the lower court had acted properly in blocking the Trump administration from eradicating the CFPB entirely as the lawsuit played out. Pillard wrote: 'It is emphatically not within the discretion of the President or his appointees to decide that the country would benefit most if there were no Bureau at all.' Senator Elizabeth Warren, ranking member of the Senate banking, housing, and urban affairs committee who played a significant role in the creation of the CFPB, said: 'Today's divided panel decision willfully ignores the Trump Administration's unprecedented and lawless attempt to destroy an agency created by Congress that has helped millions of families across the country.'
