Went into Pontypridd town (Wales) today for lunch with the wife and the 3d print / design create shop there  was open so I went in to say hello.

The owner showed me his H2C behind the counter - had a couple of other brands working away - but it was the H2C that interested me.

tbh with all the hype about other tool changers, the H2C had kind of lost its shine in my mind - boy did that change when I saw it in first person!

He opened the door on a 72 hour print he was running and let me see it in full flow.

Looked very high quality, tool changes were sweet and the quality of print looked amazing. 

He seemed very, very happy with it and suggested it had already paid back its hefty price tag after 6 months. He was doing a lot of pet dog busts - customers bring their dogs in, takes photos and perhaps some sort of AI model generation.

Had a range of sizes (dog heads) with the largest selling for £65.

The chap was very friendly - kinda hoping he will display some of my models.

For interest only.

I will say, mine prints ABS/ASA better than any machine I've ever used, and we've had some fairly expensive machines at work. The Vortek nozzles just eat ABS all day long and spit out perfect prints. I have a mix of .4 and .6 nozzles in the rack, and HIPS is on the left nozzle for most of the time for full contact. It also seals up really well, I never have a smell from it, ever. I do change the filters regularly and they get DIRTY!
