Key Features
Important Notice Before Purchase - This product is not eligible for return
1. The Vortek Upgrade Kit is compatible with H2D and H2S printers, but the installation requires advanced skill and significant time. For better value, we recommend purchasing the H2C printer which includes the Vortek system.
2. Before purchasing, you must read the official installation guide for the Vortek Upgrade Kit available on the Bambu Lab Wiki to fully understand the installation process.
3D Printing Canada does not provide support for this installation.
3. The Vortek Upgrade Kit (H2D Compatibility Pack) is scheduled for arrival in January 2026.
4. The Vortek Upgrade Kit (H2S Compatibility Pack) will be released after firmware support is available, with an estimated earliest release in Q1 2026.
For 110V Version Users
During the installation of the upgraded Heatbed, if you find that the number of connectors on the AC board does not match the number of plugs on the Heatbed (eg. the heatbed has three plugs while the AC board has only two connectors), do not proceed with the installation.
Please submit an after-sales support ticket directly to Bambu Lab as soon as possible to contact official customer support. We will send you a compatible AC board replacement to ensure the device can be used properly and safely.
2.1.
Multi-Material Printing with Minimal Purge Waste
In traditional single-nozzle multi-material printing, purging is needed to clear leftover material between filament changes.Vortek changes that with an intelligent hotend-sw apping system that replaces the entire hotend — delivering faster, cleaner prints with minimal waste.
2.1.
Fully Automatic Filament Change
The Vortek system works seamlessly with our highly reliable AMS (Automatic Material System), making the entire filament change process fully automatic — no need to manually load each filament into the toolhead.
Always Delivering the Most Efficient Combination
The Vortek system can store filament information in the hotend’s memory, ensuring the correct filament is matched to each hotend. If you are printing with more than seven filament types, the system can calculate the optimal combination to minimize purge waste.
8-Second Induction Heating
Our industry-leading induction heating technology brings the nozzle to temperature in 8-sec, significantly reducing the preheating time for each material swap compared to traditional methods.
Contactless Design For Reliability
Our high standards for reliability led us to move away from contact-based metal pins, which are prone to oxidation and unstable connections.We developed a contactless solution that ensures a stable, high-frequency connection — the foundation for precise temperature control and intelligent hotend sync.
Colors Are No Longer Limited By How Many Toolheads You Have
Unlike traditional toolchanger printers that limit color count by the number of toolheads, the H2C supports up to 24 materials in a single print through parallel-connected AMS units. Its intelligent algorithm optimizes filament-to-hotend allocation to minimize purge waste while delivering outstanding multi-color and multi-material results.
